coffee_rules Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 GOP projected to get both houses of congress. Obama will have the mother of all lame duck period.
Brainfade Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Illinois governor is a Republican now? Looks like election officials didn't allow dead people to vote multiple times in Chicago :-))!!
Cricketics Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I am liking it so far. Republicans dominated. Rand Paul, is my favorite presidential candidate for now.
Desi Cartman Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 The next elections will be all about healthcare. If GOP wants to win they need to come up with a great alternative else they will lose again but if they can have reasonable plans for healthcare & immigration and have some centre-right candidate then they can win the win the White House too.
coffee_rules Posted November 11, 2014 Author Posted November 11, 2014 I think repealing Obamacare is popular now. They are riding that wave. How long can they cash from it masking their unpopularity among latinos? Mid-terms usually has lower voter turnouts which help GOP. White house is bigger fish, unless GOP moves away from Tea party and to the center, it will not be able to get the executive branch the next election as well. Hilary v/s Chirstie ? maybe...
gattaca Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I am bit surprised from Indian in US supporting Republican party any reasons why ? Democrats at least made sounds of pro immigration.

Sachin=GOD Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Had to happen. NO second term President since FDR has had mid term elections go in his favor. As for those who are saying that Obama will now be a lame duck Prez - wasn't he already that for quite a long time. He has not shown much resolve on major issues.
Desi Cartman Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 The candidates messed up by distancing themselves from the President, it might have worked if they had ANY alternate plans. These democrats ran on GOP agenda and obviously lost to GOP candidates.
Sachin=GOD Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Very interesting Prez election coming up in 2016, especially for Republications where the field is wide open for loonies.
coffee_rules Posted November 11, 2014 Author Posted November 11, 2014 Very interesting Prez election coming up in 2016' date=' especially for Republications where the field is wide open for loonies.[/quote'] Dems are waiting for loonies to show up as it raises their chances.
Brainfade Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 EIther that or new congressional districts approved by Congress! How does that help with electing a Governor?
FischerTal Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Very interesting Prez election coming up in 2016' date=' especially for Republications where the field is wide open for loonies.[/quote'] Jindal. Atleast he'll do some Bhangra in White House :dontknow:
gattaca Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Jindal. Atleast he'll do some Bhangra in White House :dontknow: No chance for a Brown guy from a right wing party
FischerTal Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 No chance for a Brown guy from a right wing party He's governor of a southern state and more right wing than most republicans. Although Rubio has a higher chance if the repubs want the Latino vote
coffee_rules Posted November 11, 2014 Author Posted November 11, 2014 How does that help with electing a Governor? Higher voter turnout of republican voters' districts causing an imbalance of dems districts whi h had lower voter turnout. Far shot , but still Obama care was very well disected by repubz
gattaca Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 He's governor of a southern state and more right wing than most republicans. Although Rubio has a higher chance if the repubs want the Latino vote Governed vs president is very different.
Sachin=GOD Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Jindal. Atleast he'll do some Bhangra in White House :dontknow: I'm not sure he will run. 2020 definitely but not now.....he will be a contender for VP nomination though. Jeb Bush seems to be a rather sane Rupublican, no?

Far shot ' date=' but still Obama care was very well disected by repubz[/quote'] In my state, governors are elected based simply on overall vote percentage. District-wise distribution does not matter. In Illinois, is the governor elected based on the number of districts going to each candidate?
