Republicans Senate Too!
VA,MO,MT Secretary of State Offices | 11/07/2006 | Self

Posted on 11/07/2006 10:27:15 PM PST by Positive

Well, Webb has an 1800 vote lead with 99.35% of vote counted.

McCaskill just took the lead for the first time in MO, with 3009 of 3746 precincts (none from Kansas City few from St. Louis).

Tester has a 13% lead over Burns in Montana.

If you count Leiberman and Sanders as Dims and those 3 races finish as it looks they will, Dims have both houses.

The two "Independents" can caucus with the party they choose...Sanders was the Socialist in the House and voted with the Dims, now he is in the Senate...Leiberman says he will caucus with the Dims...

So the Dims rule.

This Gov't was created to make it difficult for the controlling Party to get things enacted without total control of all branches of Gov't.

We have a veto proof Senate.

We have the White House.

In two years, we will have a good shot at regaining control of the House.

What many Freepers are always complaining about, why we can't get things done is actually what makes this nation great, it is very difficult to make radical changes in it.

What a misnomer you go by!

Republicans will win Montana, Missouri and Virginia. Virginia isn't counting absentee ballots until Thursday. Tester's strongholds are in 100% in Montana. And St. Louis City is in 96% or something like that. Chill out!

Pres. Bush thinks veto is a mafia hit man.

Its two years until the next election.

The political pendulum is always swinging.

It is ineveitable it will swing to the left sometimes.

But we can do our best to keep those swings as short as possible.

The fight is lifelong.

How we recover from events like this is everything.

They want us to quit.

WE WONT. Ever.

Better days are ahead. We gotta earn every one of 'em.

Our character will be tested. Our resolve.

Whats new? Always the way right?

Now lets take them on together.

I really hope you are right. The contrast in those 3 races could not be sharper. I also hope Allen is right about the clerical error that does not reflect his lead of 5,ooo votes.

Thanks for the info. Does this mean that, for instance, in order to elect Pelosi as speaker, one or both of the Independents must also vote for her? In situations where a Democratic majority is required, must each individual situation/vote obtain the vote of one of the Independents?

We have a veto proof Senate.

I mean we have a cloture proof Senate.

They do not have the 60 votes to shut down our filibusters.

A pedophile-protector and probable homosexual just won the Ohio governorship too. Also a socialist and tax raiser.

Okeedokee...but did you notice that Webb now has a 4800 vote lead?

Oh and Kansas City might decide to go Republican?

McCaskill is declaring victory right now on FoxNews????

I'm an idiot -- and up way too late. Obviously the senators aren't going to be voting for the speaker of the House......but on the same wavelength, would the votes of the independents be required in the Senate -- or does anything in the Senate require a party majority?

He has one?

Even if he does, what he really needs is a pair.
