"While I am a great believer in the free competitive enterprise system and all that it entails, I am an even stronger believer in the right of our people to live in a clean and pollution-free environment. To this end, it is my belief that when pollution is found, it should be halted at the source, even if this requires stringent government action against important segments of our national economy."

Virginia is pretty much all but decided. Even the White House admitted that.

The biggest that that I see that may come out of this election is that in the 20th Congressional District, a Democrat may be elected to an office that a Republican left which would add one more Democratic seat to the House.

I hope the "conservatives" keep trying to purify the republican party. That would assure the democrats control for a while longer which would be the best thing that could happen to MY country. I just don't think the country can take any more "conservativism" right now.

New Jersey Gubernatorial Election - All state offices up for election.
Chris Christie (Republican)
Jon Corzine (Democratic)
Chris Daggett (Independent)
My money's on Corzine because I believe Christie and Daggett will split the "Chris" vote.
Virginia Gubernatorial Election - Same
Bob McDonnell (Republican)
Craigh Deeds (Democratic)
I'll go McDonnell here, I don't think voters trust people who spell "normal" names in odd ways (Craigh). The same goes for everyone named Geoff, Marc, Jaymes, Luq, and Stefanie.
New York 23rd Congressional District
Dierdre Scozzafava (Republican)
Bill Owens (Democratic)
Doug Hoffman (Conservative)
Hoffman will win because of the endorsement by Sarah Palin... he'll then resign about 7 months from now for the good of his constituents.Take me home Momma and put me to bed. I have seen enough to know I have seen too much.
