You could be objective, or hurl insults, your choice.

Unfortunately, I am afraid the Republicans (minus great leadership) will be content to fall back into their old role of followers.

Or maybe just fall back on their swords.

Allen is fine. He will end up about 1500-3000 ahead, and there are still 100,000-150,000 absentee Ballots to count --those will go in Allen's favor and he will end up 5000-10000 ahead.

Webb will ask for a recount , and it will get Ugly, but that is too many votes for the Dems to Manufacture.

Corker looks to be in Great Shape in Tenn.

Steele still has an outsaide chance, and Burns also has a shot.

Worst case it is 51-47-2.

Good luck with that. In the Senate, we lost one of our brightest conservative stars on the judges issue, Rick Santorum. We're in danger of losing even more seats as the returns from the Midwest come pouring in.

Alas, tonight, Rove was a lot less than "magnificent". To think that Karl Rove was outmaneuvered by Rahm Emanuel/Chuckie Schumer is just unbearable.

Our only hope is the absentees.

All 133,000 of them. I'm only a little worried.

It's time for the Republican Party to send out the Batsignal for Rudy Giuliani.

Otherwise we might end up with President Clinton, Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Mikulski in 2009.

Losing J D is a disaster. But then, I don't know what the GOP expected with 500,000 illegals here in Arizona. Did they really think this would remain a red state?

Colorado: Dems planned on pickup here:

US House District 7-

Total Reporting:1%
Ed Perlmutter (D) 45,184 56%
Rick O'Donnell (R) 34,779 42%
Dave Chandler (G) 1,133 1%
Roger McCarville (A) 1,113 1%

Again, lots of trouble with percentages from the experts, I would guess those numbers reflect at least 30% of the vote, not 1%.

Fox just quoted Snow as saying the congress can now enact "meaningful immigration reform."

Well ... the trues wanted to teach us all a lesson

Hope they can live with it now

>>>Clintonista Machichine attack, of course. <<<

That is pure BS. It was the G.W. BUSH "Justice Department" that came after Weldon two weeks before the election.

Jim Ryun is giving his concession here in KS...a District there is no way in hell we should have lost..

Oh Great, now his wife is quoting scripture and the annointing power of Christ

(he had been painted as part of the "religious loony/Jesus Freak/anti-evolution crowd by Boyda)

And he was in trouble back in March...didn't believe it until last friggin week!

So now I have a liberal democrat as my congressman.
This is one reason why I left California!

If the remaining Prince William precincts are similar to the ones already counted, Webb will tighten it a bit more (to ~4000 votes), but will not overtake Allen.
In any case, it's a nail-biter. Recount will take weeks...


Well now Webb is ahead and all that is left are dems. Allen might be able to ask for recount.

"Independent is code for left wing leaning Dem."

No, it is not.
Just do the math.
35% Republican registration.
35% Democrat registration.
The other 30% are Independents.
If what you said were true, Republicans would be in a hopeless minority everywhere, every election.
But they are not.
They aren't because Independents are independent.
They don't like either party enough to join.
They vote the way they think is best.
Tonight, they voted against the Republicans.
In 2004, 2002 and 2000, they voted with them.

If they were left wing leaning Dem, the Republicans would never have any hope.

Republicans cannot win relying on just Republicans. They have to have broader appeal.
