I thought it was interesting how the Democrats picked up six
House seats on Sunday late without the Republicans being
credited with one.

Then late tonight five more came through for us.

We stand at 217 at the moment. They couldn’t give us one
more right now. They’re praying for a break in their favor.

Seems like it anyway.

NewsMax has the 217 figure, too. One of the few outlets that can still be trusted.

Thanks for the mention.

We have 49 senators too.

IF that run/off in Georgia goes our way, the Dems will
have 48, we’ll have 50, and there will be the usual
two other.

I sure hope walker can pull it out there.

Are there no longer two independents in there who generally caucus and
vote with the Democrats? Last I saw the Dems only had 48, but I may have
accessed a dated page by accident.
