As in people I got a -0- not one person I voted for won...LOL! Now I did vote NO on letting judges serve 6 years instead of 4 and it did not pass...so I did do good on that one. But that was it!

Caity, I voted for a democrat for the first time and he lost too!:eek: I am just so sick of Lamar Alexander.
No one I voted for won. They passed to get a lottery and I voted against that too. Oh well...

Only one person I voted for lost, and he was a Democrat who I crossed party lines to vote for because I fely he was the better candidate. Otherwise, I went straight Republican on this one.

The majority that I voted for won, but win or lose, we're all winners in a free society where we get to elect our leaders.
(Cue American Flag and Patriotic Music)
Of course, they are probably all scoundrals and thieves, but by gosh WE get to put them there!!!
No, seriously, I am proud....

If I vote for them or even think about voting for them the lose.:(
Our local elections had a fair amount of canadates for various offices so I voted for lots of folks. On the national level, both the fellows I voted for won. On the local level I didn't do too bad. The county judge executive I voted for didn't win but other than that I think everyone I voted for won. I voted more democrat than republican this time but that's 'cause I tend to vote democrat for local elections and republican for the national ones.
Hey, on local elections have any of you guys voted for people for non-political reasons? I found that I voted for our PVA because he's reduced our taxes on occasion (they definately should have been reduced, right decision), and I voted for our County clerk because she was always nice to my dh when he was a bag boy in high school--24 years ago and before I ever knew dh, lol.

I was one for two. I voted for the Republican incumbent in the House and he won.
In the Senate race, I voted for the Libertarian candidate. John Warner had no opposition from the Democrats and I figured he would win with at least 75% of the vote (he won with 84%). As a small l libertarian, I like having the option of the Libertarian Party on the ballot, so I wanted to make sure the Libertarians kept ballot access.

Yes, the person I voted for governor of PA WON!!! !
As for the state representative, I have to find out if the person won. Its a small election, so I still don't know who won that.

All of the people I voted for won. :)
It was funny because they thought some of the races were going to be really tight & a lot of them weren't even close.

George W. Bush does not inspire me, only makes me sick.
Being in San Francisco, California and a proud liberal on most things, yes all the Demos that I voted for won. Most Republican candidates lost big time here in California. :bounce:

I didn't vote and I think my dad is mad at me for that. But I don't like the fact that he was telling everyone who I was going to vote for. Just because he's voting for a particular person, doesn't mean that he has to make me vote for them to.

Seven. We had a full slate -- senator, congress, county commissioners, school board, state legislature, lots of judges -- so that isn't many. Exactly one Democrat won in my county -- the incumbent sheriff. Three of my victors were in the nonpartisan school board race. The other three were Republicans: a decent and effective district court judge, a fairly progressive and effective state senator and a county commissioner who wins every other time (In between the Republicans oust her in the primary. She gives the other commissioners fits by not always going along with them, so having her on the board is helpful. Plus, the Democrats only managed to muster two candidates for the three seats.)
I'm trying to be philosophical about this election. While Mrs. Dole hasn't actually lived in North Carolina in almost half a century and will undoubtedly block vote with the Republican majority, I'm sure that she will represent me better than Jesse Helms did. And my congressman, a nice man who is totally wrong on the issues, has to run again in two years!

Sigh.
On the local level for representation level for our State legislature, the state senator I voted for won, and local school board candidate(s)...but in our Governor's race, and federal Senate and House rep races I was 0 for 3. :( It's the Governor one that REALLY worries me. :rolleyes: These multi-millionaires that want to "run government like a business" .........never mind, don't get me started......
