… Elections Disaster in Nevada [#statewide] …

Posted by paulfromwloh on Sunday,November 2nd,2014

.. the figures like this [42% GOP , 41% Dem , 17% other] are an abject disaster for the DemoCraps ….

.. unlike many states , Nevada does have statewide elections for this year . They have the full smack : Treasurer , Auditor , AG , Lieutenant Gov [elected separate] , Governor …

.. also , the legislature , which for a state of its size that is still growing like crazy , is fairly narrowly divided …

.. Brian Sandoval (former federal district judge , latino , businessman , current governor) …. is going to win re – election . He is evidently pulling the GOP vote along with him ….

.. [h/t — m.NationalReview.com(CampaignSpot)]..
.. [link] to the campaign news …

.. Sandoval will win re – election in a walk . He may well pull in other GOP statewide elected officeholders along with him . That will help come 2016 , when there is the likely heavyweight bout with Dingy Harry Reid for his US Senate Seat …. it will be a lot easier for Sandoval to run , with a GOP L.G. ….

.. also , a DemoCrap sitout will hit the legislature … the Nevade Senate is only 11 to 10 DemoCrap , so it may well flip … the Nevada House is 26 to 16 Dem , so it would take a 6 seat gain for the GOP to take control …

.. the Nevada Senate should flip , and the Nevada House just might …

… Cover Oregon is a Disgrace …

Posted by paulfromwloh on Thursday,February 6th,2014

.. and it is going to cause all sorts of trouble in the [ ] State .

.. [h/t — theWeeklyStandard] ..

.. [link] to the KATU news report …

.. Oregon is , of course , light Blue . Both U.S. Senators are DemoCraps , 4 of the 5 Congresscritters are Dems , John Kitzhaber [himself a Dr] is a DemGovernor , and the legislature is controlled by the Dems . Things are far from hopeless for the GOP , however .

.. John Kitzhaber (the Dem Gov) is on the ballot and is running for re – election . He faces very fierce opposition , becuase four years ago , he was elected with barely 50% of the vote against a little known GOPer [retired NBA star Chris Dudley] . Not sure if Duds is back , but the Cover Oregon debacle has Kitz on the hot seat , with the heat turned up to White Hot . Which is as hot as it gets . My guess is that this colossal mess will make Kitz a sure loser in November …

.. Kitz going down will drag other Dems with him . Not the congressccritters , though . Only 2 of the other 4 House Dem races are competitive . The Oregon legistlature is another matter . So is Jeff Merkely . Ron Wyden is a wily leg vet , but he is thankful that he is not on the ballot . However , Merkely is , and he is a freshman up for his first re – election . Without His Lordship [POTUS] protecting his back , I believe Merkely will come into big trouble come summertime , espc as it becomes known that Kitz is going down . Then , the legislature ..

.. The legislature is competitive , much more so than most people realize . The numbers are : State House , 26 R , 34 D ;  State Senate , 14 R , 16 D . So , one chamber , the other , or both could flip with a big enough wave . The possibility is that the Oregon Senate will flip . The Oregon House is another matter . His Lordship is not on the ballot , and Kitzhaber is , which will make for a very interesting couple of days after election day .

— note — Oregon conducts its elections entirely by mail . So the news of who wins and who controls may not be known until a couple of days after Election Day ..
