November 18, 201411 yr As discussed before, Louisiana has a pending run-off election for the US Senate. The first poll since election day released yesterday and it shows Cassidy, the Republican candidate, with a 21 point lead over Democratic incumbent Sen. Landrieu (59 Cassidy/38 Landrieu/3 Unsure), despite the fact that of those polled more identify as Democrats (44 Democrat/36 Rebuplican/20 Other). So, as everybody predicted, good freaking luck to the Democrats.https://gravismarketing.com/polling-and-market-research/current-louisiana-polling/
November 19, 201411 yr Cassidy and Martha will win, overall call it a win for the military and fiscal conservatives.
November 19, 201411 yr Cassidy and Martha will win, overall call it a win for the military and fiscal conservatives. Agree on Cassidy, not so sure with M-Mc. If you are correct, though, can she redeem herself in the community? LS
November 19, 201411 yr With McChing, it will be a win for herself and the establishment right who have anointed her.
December 5, 201410 yr If your Republiboner needed a little pick me up, take a look at this. Since neither candidate in the Louisiana Senate Race won the Nov 4 General Election, there is a Runoff Election scheduled for tomorrow. Polls show Cassidy leading by 15%+. FiveThirtyEight predicts the loss will actually be much greater, around a 50% gap, because eligible voters are less likely to vote if an election appears pre-destined.https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2014/senate/louisiana_senate_race.htmlhttps://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/senate-forecast-landrieu-headed-toward-historic-defeat-in-louisiana-runoff Again, this will expand the Republicans control of the Senate for the next two years to a 54/100 majority, taking 9 seats from the Democrats.

December 17, 201410 yr she will lose, barber is a lock in the blue south... wouldnt be surprised if she lost by the same margin as last time. She may very well lose. ...but if Barber was such a 'lock' then I think he would have easily secured a victory last week on election night. Swing and a miss. If it makes you feel any better, I actually thought Romney had a chance the last few weeks before the 2012 election. And no, I did not vote for Romney. It looks like 2016 is already starting--Jeb Bush has more/less thrown his name in the ring. I look forward to voting Libertarian again if he is the GOP's nominee.

December 18, 201410 yr Awesome. So AZ voters voted in a carpetbagging east coast tourist who has no idea, nor cares, about southern AZ issues, and is yet again, doing a touch and go at another place in her move up the self-serving career ladder. The voters will get what they voted for, McSally/McCain/McFlake establishment types, who only happen to have an "R" next to their names out of pure convenience.
December 18, 201410 yr ...AND that's how we are going to end up with another Democrat POTUS. Well since I'm not a Republican, their party's candidate has to convince me that they stand for more Liberty than not. Jeb is not that guy, neither is Christie. If things are going to get a lot worse then they might as well be under the party who openly states that buisnesses do not create jobs. Also, did you see the crap that got passed by the GOP a few days ago? If the party nominates Rand Paul, then I'll vote GOP. You of course can vote for whoever you want.

(say what you want about a group the only comes to vote when theres flashy elections going on)

(say what you want about a group the only comes to vote when theres flashy elections going on) It was a swing and a miss because you said Barber was a 'lock'...and this was even after election night in which it razor close. So yeah, far from Barber being a 'lock' after election night. Poor analysis and/or poor choice of words--your call.

December 22, 201410 yr Well since I'm not a Republican, their party's candidate has to convince me that they stand for more Liberty than not. Jeb is not that guy, neither is Christie. If things are going to get a lot worse then they might as well be under the party who openly states that buisnesses do not create jobs. Also, did you see the crap that got passed by the GOP a few days ago? If the party nominates Rand Paul, then I'll vote GOP. You of course can vote for whoever you want. Well, I didn't say anything about Republicans...I only said that if you vote like you suggest you might, then we'll have another Democrat POTUS. You have your opinion and I have mine. What I am saying is that in a general election you will realistically only have two people to choose from. A Democrat and a Republican. You can vote libertarian all day, but the way I see it is that you are helping whomever the Democratic nominee is by voting libertarian. It's the spoiler effect. Nader probably cost Gore the election in 2000 and Perot cost Bush the election in 1992 by splitting the vote.
February 27, 201510 yr Well, she came through for my neighbor. He built an airstrip on his land 3 years ago and applied to the FAA for a airport designator. They have ignored his emails and phone calls since then. He called MMc's office yesterday and got a call from the FAA at 0730 this morning giving him his designator. I've got to give her thumbs up for that. LS
March 7, 201510 yr Quote from my dad, "It is not always who you are voting for, but who you are voting against." I basically always vote against the incumbent. The entrenched interests are more dangerous than whatever rhetoric someone spouts in order to get elected.
March 24, 20169 yr Bump. I'm really interested to see the current opinion given her work holding AF leadership to the well-deserved fire regarding the A-10, manning, and most recently, bands.
March 24, 20169 yr This headline made me laugh, especially coming from the Air Force Times. Congresswoman to Air Force: Put down the tuba, pick up a gun https://www.airforcetimes.com/story/military/2016/03/22/congresswoman-air-force-put-down-tuba-pick-up-gun/82121372/
