If Democrats pick up six seats in next week's crucial midterm elections and gain the majority, Rangel would become chairman of the committee.

Six, McFly?

It's called the "negative margin of victory manifesto." If Republicans get 55% while Democrats get just 45%, then the Democrats win the election by a margin of negative ten percentage-points.

Sorry, Rangel, but that only applies in the Senate--at least until your ugly partisans ratchet up the post-election legal campaign to impose your definition of victory upon us all. Heck, even I support a Democratic victory defined hence: Nancy Pelosi comes within twelve percentage-points of retaining her House seat, and no Democrat does better than she. That Republican blowout unfortunately still won't happen; we certainly need some reservation for the insane, and San Francisco clearly illustrates the culture of death, enslavement, and pursuit of misery at its finest.
