So, is it time for a Disctrict 50 thread yet? I'm getting antsy.....
Edited on Tue Jun-06-06 07:51 PM by Gabi Hayes
it's being hyped as a bellweather today, and I just saw a site that said over FIFTEEN MILLION bucks has been spent there (I heard on the radio the pugs have spent $5 million, so I don't know how accurate that was), and, if true, has to be close to the record for money ever spent on a congressional campaign, let alone one with such a short duration
http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/9327877/detail.html

I heard the pukes on tweety dismiss a "close loss" as being important, despite the 15 point pug/dem registration differential, so that makes me think it's even more important that the carpetbagging lobbyist Bilbray gets his ass kicked.

I can't find any up to date media on this at google news.

any sites to get a good running account of what's going on?

polls don't close for another two=plus=hours

thx

PS...sad news....Billy Preston just died at 59....peace

8. thanks...just found it
see the part about that snarkskank Wonkette doing a piece on Daily Kos?

you should have seen her SNEERING appearance after Colbert's TV Correspondents' routine.
she was despicable, saying Colbert wasn't funny, had no business being so nasty to the poor president! couldn't believe it

showed her true colors on that bit

9. I just watched local news interviewing Brian Bilbray. He admitted
it will be a "squeaker." I'm hoping that means their internal polls are showing they are in trouble. Normally, a candidate gives an upbeat projection of their chances. On another station, a story plug for later tonight is something like "Did the GOP spend enough money to support Bilbray? Interesting, huh?

I love reading these little tidbits. Thanks for sharing. It's like reading tealeaves at this moment, but what else can we do at this point?

11. In 2004 Busby lost to Cunningham by over 20% in this very red district
so the fact that this race is remotely close bodes well for dems in Nov.

12. where are they going to get all the money, if the amount spent here
is any indication?

heavy reliance on Diebold/ESS, perhaps?
