Romanelli will have a very hard time taking any votes away from Casey, let alone a significant number of them seeing as how it is almost certain that he is not going to make the ballot. Turns out that many of the names on the GOP-funded signature drive were cpmpletely fake and many were listed twice. Mickey Mouse, Robert Redford and Mona Lisa and other fake names were rampant on the list.

Interesting news item on this topic. Romanelli's lawyer filed a brief with the court asking them to dismiss the Democrats challenge, as Romanelli had more than enough signatures to make the ballot. Reason being, the signature requirement is derived by taking 2% of the votes of the highest statewide candidate in the last election. Romanelli contends that this total is not the 3.35 million votes Casey Jr. took in 2004 for Treasurer, but the 800K votes Justice Newman took in the Supreme Court retention election in 2005. We'll see how that goes, and the pending decision of whether the Greens, Libertarians, and Constitutionalists will get automatic ballot access based on their 2004 results.

I STRONGLY believe that Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, and Illinois will all elect Republican Govenors on November 7th, 2006.

Wisconsin:Very possible but I think Doyle will sneak through.
Michigan:Governor Granholm is just beginning her media blitz and we are already seeing a trend in the polls in her favor. The blacks will turn out because of the affirmitive action referendem. That will favor granholm. Shell win 52-48 is my prediction.

Iowa-I dont know, its gonna be close.

Illinois-seems less and less likely everyday.
