WE JUST GOT RAIDED.

Democrats

Probably. They felt jipped since they could vote for a senator

More GOP bitterness because they can't get their own party in line.

By which Alphabet agency?

 

[trnsplntfrmohio]

So again who said a vote for Stutzman was a vote for coats?

It appears the vote for John was the Vote for Coats.

Nah, we just don't matter to the Republicans. We need to take a walk to a new party and start costing them elections until they are brought to the table, at the point of the sword, and forced to sign our Magna Carta.

Think about it. Most elections are decided within five points. If we all become L's, those five points no longer go to the Republicans, and they start losing lots of elections.

Who is the Libertarian candidate..... and is he any good..... because I sure ain't voting for Coats in November

 

[MadBomber]

Congratulations Senator Ellsworth, your table is ready.

 

[CombatVet]

WTHR is reporting Coats as the winner as well with 75% in.

Added: Looks like 9th district is down to the skin of their teeth!

+1 I remember a certain poster starting a ton of threads saying how nobody should vote for Stutzman and back Hostettler but it looks like they were full of

 

[evansvillethompsongunner]

Yeah, who's the third-party candidate?

Think I might just toss a vote to him just to punish everyone who voted for Coats.

Who's now going to make it his life's work to spoil this election against Dan Coats?

THIS GUY.

 

[ludlow]

WTF!!! This a$$ has not business being elected!! WTF is wrong with people.

I will vote for anyone that has a chance of defeating this a$$hat.

 

[glockednlocked]

where is the 4 post wonder who every post was a shill for behney. We could have beat Coats if we had united instead of fighting among ourselves. I never hid my support for hostetler but stuzman has strong support for a reason and I would have voted for him without reservation had hostetler not been in the race. I think much of the division really helped coats. I will hold my nose and vote for him in the fall. We all must do this or we will get the much worse Dem. I really think the only way the dem can win is if.
1, we go third party (tea,liberterian or whatever) 3rd parties split us and give election to dems(remember perot)
2,we stay home
Work hard to shape the party into what we want. and work to elect our candidates
Just think if more of us had held our noses and got mcain elected we wouldnt wake up every morning hoping just to keep our change

+1 I remember a certain poster starting a ton of threads saying how nobody should vote for Stutzman and back Hostettler but it looks like they were full of

I remember a certain poster saying Hostettler supporters should instead toss their votes to Stutzman, and being told that that made no sense mathmaticaly.

Don't know who I'll be voting for in November, but it won't be Coats. No more RINO votes for the Rep Party from me. If we keep voting for them, they'll keep putting them up. Not until they keep losing will they get that message.

I'd rather have a Dem than Coats. I'll be voting Libertarian.

That's optimistic? Messer is a whorish lobbyist and has all the vilest country club elements of the party behind him.

In somewhat more optimistic news...
