Heavy Hitters!

Not here, but is is only three years from today that we can correct the error. My predictions:

Virginia: Virginia will return the governor, lt. governor and the AG to the Red side for the first time in a decade. The state House (the state Senate is not up) is currently an 8 seat GOP majority and this will double. The key for WV observers is to look at results in places just south and west of WV, coal country. The GOP has been, correctly, pointing out there that you cannot be a friend of coal and timber, and a democrat. This is the ticket to change in WV politics as well, if the GOP here would just listen.

Ohio: Ohio votes on casinos every year, and will continue to do so until it gets it right (just like a school bond). This proposal is for four mega-casino monopolies in C-bus, Cincy, Cleveland, and Toledump, with the insider democrat/mob vendors already selected. This one will come closer to passing than any previous vote. It just might. Ohio has a big north-south split on stuff and the key is Cincy's vote (the Indiana suburbs have casinos). It will be very close, but if it passes, combined with new slot machines operations in Pensy, you can forget the Wheeling and Chester casinos. See we told you so. Enjoying that 30 story hotel and 5000 seat arena out in Cross Lanes?

New York: NY has a special election for the House in the 23rd District, which is the prety woodland part of NY state north of Albany, west of Vermont, south of Quebec, and east of Syracuse. It was to be a 3 way race, because NY has no primaries and the GOP nominated a RINO, who was to face a mobbed up democrat and a Conservative Party candidate. The RINO dropped out Friday. Look for the CP candidate, who will vote with the Republicans, to win by 15.

New Jersey: The second most liberal state in the country is grinding to a hault. Nearly broke. Highest taxes in the country in a state with NO income tax just 15 years ago. Incumbant far-left environmental extremist democrat governor. The Republican candidate has run a very poor campaign. Its nearly a tie and we may be up counting votes in a week. This with an incumbant democrat in a deep blue state.

California: Another House seat is up in the lavender-tinged San Francisco suburbs. Traditionally a 75-25 democrat seat, it will be more like 55-45.

WV: The casino election in Jefferson County (vote over and over until you get it right) is not until next month, but today the voters will vote to seperate the county zoning from the town zoning. This is a typical anti-growth pull the ladder up behind you measure, and will pass.

Media: The media, particularly if the democrats hold on to NJ, will call this a "tie" and "inconclusive" and such like. It will not be. It is a massive repudiation. if the election for the whole house was today, the seat shift would be 80 to 100.
