Republican David Jolly won the special election for Florida’s 13th Congressional District. You knew that, but did you know:
- The 13th Congressional District was carried by Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.
- The 13th CD went for David Jolly’s opponent, Alex Sink, when she ran for governor in 2010.
- The Democrats outspent David Jolly by at least $1 Million.
- Alex Sink was ahead by 20 points when the race started.
- David Jolly was an awful candidate who was virtually abandoned by the national GOP.
- David Jolly was dogged in the campaign by a messy divorce that involved ditching his wife for a much younger woman.
- You probably did know that opposition to Obamacare was the centerpiece of Jolly’s campaign.
So, given all of those facts, how is it that the bossy Chairwoman of the Democrat National Committee, Debbie Wasserman-Schulz, can claim that Jolly winning this election shows that the GOP is weak and Obamacare is popular?
Tonight, Republicans fell short of their normal margin in this district because the agenda they are offering voters has a singular focus – that a majority of voters oppose – repealing the Affordable Care Act that would return us to the same old broken health care system.
Baghdad Bob Wasserman-Schulz lives again.
Since it’s opposite day, I will opine that Debbie Wasserman-Schulz in no way resembles a cocker spaniel.
My understanding is that Florida 13 has been growingly infected with liberal snowbirds moving in. Young had a forever seat until he met his expiration date.
So, the DemonizingRats read the tea leaves and went after the seat, hammer and ton, put their best candidate out there, poured in enormous funds and lost.
Jolly not only beat Sink, he overcame deficit of votes he likely would have gotten that went to the libertarian candidate.
There is a bit of an awakening going on in the places where the little people live. They have lost their inclination to drink any more of the “hopey-changey” Koolaid. It is not so much that they have switched from one party to the other as it is the accumulation of disappointment and discouragement with The Won and never actually getting to see any evidence of people getting to pet the unicorn.
How times have changed! On Nov 3rd 2009 in the special election in NY 23rd CD, Bill Owens, defeated Conservative (TEA Party) candidate 48% to 46% with Scozzafava Republican who dropped out and endorsed Owens, obtained 5,7% Nancy Pelosi crowed, “it looks like a win to my eyes. A win is a win.” Now that they lost one, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is spinning , like it is no big deal. If I were Alex sink I’d be insulted when DWS said the David Jolly should have won by more. What was she trying to say, that Alex Sink was a lousy candidate?
Speaking of stolen elections, here in El Salvador there is an attempt by leftist FMLN to steal the presidential election from the Republican mayor of San Salvador. The elctions commissioner, an FMLN, appointee, is refusing to conduct a vote by vote count. 44,000 duplicate ballots have been discovered and eelction day 4,480 fraudulent votes for FMLN, more than enough to give victory to (ARENA). Like Florida in 2000, this election will end up in the Supreme Court.
The republicans fell short in this election because they weren’t running unopposed this time. I believe Rep Young didn’t have an opponent in his last election.
There are elections in Australia today… stay tuned for the howling that is likely to erupt. Our equivalent to the Democrats is the ALP.. they are on the nose… extremely corrupt and deserve being sent into the wilderness.
The Federal ALP have not accepted their defeat last September. They carry on with all of the usual crap including the climate change lies.
It is a different country but we have the same issues with the same form of corruption that you have in the USA…. oh and did I mention that the party most likely to cheat with votes is the ALP? Uncanny!! Did I mention that for the last election the ALP imported “Democrat election experts”? Well, where I live we got a lot of those robocalls from both sides because where I live now is one of those “hot” electorates… oh yes… and the former member for Dobell has been found guilty of fraud… and he is facing a jail sentence…. sound familiar?
Aussie:
I holding positive thoughts for a conservative win in Australia. The left are inveterate liars, cheaters, and sore losers. As you can see above El Salvador is experiencing their fraud. The FMLN candidate ex-guerilla, Salvador Sanchez Ceren declares himself the winner, and has received congradulations from dictator Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela, and Daniel Ortega, of Nicaragua. I hope the news in Australia have shown the youth rebellion against hunger (lack of staples in the markets), suppression of free speech. The media has been silanced for years. The left has the only channel and radio stations.
Socialist International wants to abolish capitalism. This could in your land. Good
GGood Luck for a conservative victory.
