Any states the GOP could pickup in 2010?

[Badger]

You mean governor's races?

Certainly Oklahoma, Tennessee, Michigan, and Kansas they have a solid shot at [and VA and NJ in 2009].  They have some competitive holds in California, Hawaii, Arizona, and Nevada.

I believe those are the states that have attracted the most attention

How did PA not get mentioned?

Good Lord, enough with Pennsylvania.  I cannot stand that state and the disproportionate amount of attention it gets on this forum.  What a gay place, seriously.

Up Yours.

You know, Van Der Blubb, I don't often agree with Phil on much, but......

But PA apparently has a fewer people who still think it's appropriate to use 'gay' as a negative pejorative. Most 10th graders today know better.

Nothing wrong with being a conservative; just don't be an a**hole. It may be too late for Vanderblubb, NC Yankee, but you still have a good chance.

I only used it cause Van used it against PA, and yes I know thats a horrible excuse. You give most tenth graders far too much credit. There are twelth graders in my school who use the word gay to describe everything they dislike. I do fear though that it won't be long before that good chance is long gone, badger.

<laugh> No worries, NCY. A sense of selp-depriciating humor is the first line of defense against a**holery. I fear I probably need to work on it more than you do.

Oh, and on second thought you're totally right about 'gay' as a pejorative for everything, from movies to video games to actual homosexuals, is used well into high school even today. Still, when a teen star like Hannah Montana does PSA's against such language, presumably because the producers think there's a reachable audience of tweeners for that message, it gives me hope.

Homophobia is never necessary regardless of how old you are. Some people just need to grow up. At the same time, it's really offensive when people say that someone or something is "retarded" if they don't like them. It's really sad how cruel people are nowadays.

Oh, cry me a river you sissy. 

And for all you self-righteous pricks who are offended by my usage of the word 'gay', consider that this was our word first before the queers came and took it.  So if anything I should be offended when they call themselves gay, because gay means happy while most gay people are sad, sick individuals with AIDS.

Y'know Blubb, posts like this just confirms my suspicion your computer's search history consists of only the Atlas plus LOTS of hard-core gay porn.

It's OK buddy. Overcome the anger and embrace the real you. We'll accept you no matter how FABULOUS you are deep down. (Or maybe just barely below the surface, judging from your vehemence).

That closet door is wide open, Blubby. Come out singing a show tune dressed like Cher and move to Vermont. We all know it's for the best.

You are forgetting that there is a slight chance that Vander's behavior is all an act. He did have a reputation for some what of a clown from what I've heard.

Point taken. If true, he totally punked me.

If not, my comments stand.
