NJ/VA Gov Races
ByIn NJ I think Corzine will win easily. I have family in NJ and I can tell you those people just can’t vote Republican. The old people in the state like my grandmother are still grateful for the New Deal and as she’s told me in the past. “I always voted Democrat, that’s just what we did in my day”. Great granny, keep cashing that SS check. And the rest of the people in that state hate Bush, which means they’ll vote Corzine.
In VA it’s going to be close. I think it will go back to what I said last week. It will come down to whether or no the hard right come out and vote. If the hard right treat the election like they did in 2000 when they stayed home, then it won’t look good for Kilgore. If they treat it like 2004 and come out and vote (the reason Bush showed up at the last minute) then Republicans will pull it out. We’re just going to have to sit back and see if the hard right, with the Supreme Court picks decided, are still motivated to come out and vote.

Come on, Nick. Grow a set – Kilgore or Kaine? Pick one. I won’t hold it against you if you’re wrong.
Cheers!

Fine Rick,
I think the hard-right will stay home and Kaine will win by a nose hair.

“Growing a set” for Rick,
I’m afraid it’s going to be Corzine in NJ as well. NJ voters are so unpredictable, but it’s always safe to bet that they will vote with their guns (if they believed in those bad things) pointed at their feet, accidentally pull the trigger and then wonder how it happened…
VA – it is tough to call here, but I’m going to have a little faith in good vs. evil and go w/ Kilgore. If nothing else, because he had John Kerry’s and Tim Kaine’s faces pasted on sheep on his online banner ads.
