CNN is calling Davis as the winner in CA. Boy, that's a bummer!!! We need to start praying for the people of CA now ...... they're going to need it.

I hate that Largent lost in OK also.

You should check out this link and see how the Republicans are all over the Dems in South Dakota. Tom Daschle is just about the only Democratic politician representing that state at any level.

Jim Talent is saying in his speech,

I've thought a lot about this race, and I thank GOD FOR THE GLORY! He thanked God many times in this speech!!!

When the local CBS reporter took over, he said, "Jim Talent didn't say one thing about any issues at all."

Now local anchor in practically in tears reporting that Mondale has probably lost Minnesota! "According to trends, the Republicans have the Senate!"

A Davis win is much better for California than a Simon win. Simon would have only served to take the blame for all the billions of dollars of terrible problems that Davis created. If Simon had won, within 2 years he would have been blamed for the terrible prolems California faces.

This was an interesting race. Bush and Rowe was hoping Davis would win. McAuliffe, the Clintons, Gore and Daschle were all hoping for a Simon win.

The race in California went exactly as I predicted. Simon has to be very very dumb. I wrote post after post saying that the Davis strategy was to drive the race to the point where only the Democrat and Republican bases voted. It may be that Davis did not get the entire Democrat base. But he got enough to win.

Simon tried to run a race in which he attacked Davis. That can not work.

Carl Rowe showed tonight the validity of his strategy. He chose moderate Republicans to run in Democrat states. Had he chosen right wing ideologs every state race would have turned out like California.

If you have read any of my posting over time you understand where Dubya and Rowe were coming from. To win in democratic states Repubicans must get Democrats to vote for them. To get Democrats to vote for you, you must say things that attract Democrats.

That is why Thune, Talent, and Coleman are going to win. What bush did was elect 3 RINO's. And we will get hundreds of conservative judges because he did.

California Republicans were so elated to nominate a conservative. ... but what they will get 4 more years of liberal government.

Bush worked for RINOs that gave him the senate. IT will get tax cuts, homeland defense, and conservative judges.

What many republicans must learn how to do is use the left to enact the agenda of the right. It is the only way to get to where you want to go.

Had the republicans nominated Riordan the Republicans would have swept California. Some of those that would have been elected would have been conservative. But all, all, all, did I mention all, went down in California defeat.

Bush and Rowe have taught us how to win. I hope some more of us have learned how it is done.
