The heavily democratic counties are kicking in in both Virginia and Missouri. The trends all over the country are undeniable. We are going to lose the Senate. Now, President, can you start wielding the veto a little bit (LOT!).
its been stuck on that for a while
Regardless of who gets control, don't we expect anything but more gridlock from congress?
that statement makes me want to vomit. I bet you anything they defund the border fence.
"I understand that in VA there are many absentee ballots yet to be counted."
Nope. According to Fox News, most of the absentee ballots are counted with the regular votes.

You mean the Senate. The House at least got stuff done. Now, we're counting on the veto pen, if there is one, that is if the dems can pull themselves away from impeachment long enough to pass a bill. And if they do, the first one will be to cut off funding for the troops and the second one will be a retro tax increase.
I'm not writing off Talent. Allen looks like a gonner. If Missouri picks McAskill, it would unfortunately bode very ill. If a relatively conservative state like Missouri goes with a complete twit like McAskill in a time of war, that speaks volumes about where this nation is headed in terms of foreign policy.
Allen is very close though. There is a very slight chance that a recount / count of military ballots puts him over the top, but I think it is very unlikely.
Looks like we lost it all tonight.
He does not. Drudge has Allen up with 1800 votes with 99.18% of the vote in. I just checked.
Yup! And you can bet that one won't get a veto when it comes to his desk. The MSM plays it like it is all about the war in Iraq. I don't believe that. I think that the base was ticked off about opens boarders as well. I did not vote for any democrats...so my concience is clear. But their are many people who formally voted Republican who did not do so this time. The message to the republicans is that they had better start listening to their base. Then hopefully they will gain controll again.
The house HAD the right take on illegal immigration, but the senate blocked any meaningful solutions.
So why should we expect anything different?
You can forget about any more judges getting through as well. If there is another SCOTUS opening, you can bet we will get screwed there as well.
Voters tonight across this country who put the RATS in power, just sent this country into a deep pile of SH!T. I hope they are all very proud of themselves.
What about absentees? 100% of precincts reporting and only a 2000 vote margin for Webb, the absentees could still put Allen over the top.
Now both will send bills up to the desk for signature and we don't know if the WH owns a veto pen.
Let them try. Most of the Dems that won are moderates. The Kos Kids and DU types will be screeching louder than ever about three days after the new Congress takes over in January, claiming "betrayal" because "their guys" aren't liberal enough.
The retirement announcement will probably come tomorrow (today).
The voters just screwed themselves re SCOTUS. Expect much more of the "eminent domain" type of votes from the court, as it will only get worse if another lib (or two) is appointed.
We will see how the Dems deal with Iraq, it's going to be a disaster. Also, if (when) there is another terrorist attack on US soil, we will see how the Dems handle the problem, not that well I predict.
The best candidates lost tonight, but really, our country has lost tonight - big time.
What makes you think Bush will yield the veto pen? Hasn't yet, more like kumbuyah.
Iraq has now become viet nam. History has repeated itsself. The enemy propaganda has pretty much defeated our political will to fight.
We should be ashamed of ourselves for letting this happen knowing good and well the consequences of DemoRat controls.
