Democrats Take House AND Senate

[LoungeMachine]

100% reporting....

and


100% COUNTED are 2 different things.....

[Hardrock69]

Really????? No! How did you figure that out?

:D

As of now, Webb is about 6700 votes ahead of Allen.

[FORD]

MaKKKaKKKa fans are mobilizing for their KKKandidate........

[redfire]

Ford, does it bother you what Howard Dean was saying last night about the Iraq war? He said they weren't going to "cut and run like Bush and the Rep." were saying that they would, but he sold every voter on some sort of withdrawl from Iraq. Now, granted he can't make a decision on how it will all shake down, but he didn't have the balls to say anything, and he should have been prepared for that question.

LMAO!!!

Losers...

all 3 are in typically republician leaning districts.

but i think at least 1 is a conditional absentee ballot precinct that may not have any (it's the 2nd one, and had 0 in 2004).

given the general 52-some% turnout, margins of victory should be 100-300 in each precinct, max.

webb should finish, pre-recount, up about 6,500+.

Interesting, thanks.

Please turn off The FAUX, The OxyContin Addict, and O'Really for a moment and tell yourself it's okay NOT to used tired RNC talking points from KKKarl such as CUT-N-RUN.




You lost. Deal with it.


Or don't.:D

Even a near death party- comie librats- will have a moment before their death. This is it.

I'm disappointed, but in some ways I'm glad this all happened.

The reason the Democrats took control had nothing to do with anything they offered. It had everything to do with the fact that the Republicans in Congress left their conservative values on the '04 campaign trail.

First, unchecked spending, with narry a veto from Bush. They've spent like liberal Democrats the last two years, so why not just vote for a Democrat?

Second, the immigration issue wasn't settled in due time, with Republicans wishy-washy about getting anything done, despite anger from the conservative base.

Third, people are frustrated by the war, and want to see some changes with the strategy.

Fourth, this happens pretty much at every six year election of a two term president. People just seem to get tired of the status quo. Typically, about 30 seats change hands on these elections. The Republicans have lost about that many.

I knew watching the Indiana seats all going to Democrats was going to put a pulse on the whole night. Indiana's very conservative, and if they aren't going to vote Republican, no one else would.

Two years isn't too far away, so they've got to regroup. If they're smart, they'll move back to core conservative values. They have a chance to reclaim some of those lost seats, even if they might not be able to take the Congress back in 2008.

I was wrong about them losing the Congress, and I'll take my lumps.

Untrue.

Both Clinton and Reagan picked up seats in their second mid-term.

Good on ya




You can spin this anyway you want, that we didn't really win.....you guys just lost it for us, etc.....

But the bottom line is this:

The great Neo-Con takeover of this country has ended.

Oh, and....

You still want the George Allen Sticker in your sig?

LMAO

The Senate went back to Democratic control in 1986 after being in Republican control the previous six years. Reagan lost one house of Congress.

Clinton was a bit strange, because he lost his houses in his second year.

All of it is mute at this point. The Republicans blew it this year.
