NJ-Gov 2005.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Ed Gillespie just said on CNN that Forrester's going to win.  idiot

What is he supposed to say?

"Forrester is going to lose big man, its going to be a disaster, might as well stop volunteering or donating money because there is no hope for success"

Maintaining confidence in the face of overwhelming odds is a hallmark of strong leadership.

Maintaining confidence in the face of overwhelming odds is a hallmark of strong leadership.

But when a Democrat does he it he/she is "delusional".

Democrats are delusional anyway.

On that subject, I actually learned a lesson about political delusion back in September.

I was helping the Republican nominee in a special State Senate race in the most Democratic district in Tennessee.  We were running against the powerful Ford machine in their home area.  It is heavily African-American.  Bush only got 19% of the vote in the district.

Nobody thought we would even get above 30% of the vote with a perfect campaign, let alone come close to victory.

We only fell short of victory by 13 votes out of 9,000 cast and are challenging the result as we speak.  We won tons of precincts that Kerry won in '04, won one majority-black precinct, and got over 15% in many 95%+ black precincts.

Only one man maintained full confidence in victory, despite the overwhelming odds - and that was the candidate himself.

How'd you committ that much voter fraud? I seriously must give you credit for that.

No fraud was committed on the Republican side.  We had an excellent GOTV campaign that was running against the worst possible Democrat candidate, coming out of a deeply divided primary.

We believe that there was fraud committed on the Democrat side as there were convicted felons who were found to have voted in precincts that she won.

Most of our precincts had above 20% turnout.  Precincts that went for Ophelia Ford (D) barely had 3-4% turnout.

Come to think of it, I should probably post some maps from that race.
