What is 'bartcop?' A website more leftist and more psychotic than duh.com. What are they saying tonight?

Ominous Hint on MSNBC": Of course they aren't coming out and saying anything but in the course of their cud-chewing, they said that the Wellstone memorial was "all the buzz" in Minnesota today and when asked to clarify, the commentator said that most people were offended by it. I just don't get it. Why do we let the Republicans define everything? Why do we apologize for stuff where no apology was even called for and just legitimize their BS...>>>>

I just saw the very tail end of the Bob Woodward/Larry King interview and thought Woodward looked very serious/somber. Told myself it was wishful thinking, that perhaps he'd heard bad news for Democrats, but your post seems to corroborate this if Woodward is saying the control of the Senate isn't that important. (?!?)

[hole_n_one]

Ya know, I bet I'd realize it if Dhue left.

[laconic]

Dole ahead 53/46 with 7 percent in; Graham ahead in SC by 57/41 with 5% in; robin Hayes ahead in contested race in NC by 65/35 with 12% in. All from cnn.com.

[comebacknewt]

Just saw that. Great news!!

Learn to spell bellwether, dammit. It's been misspelled on this thread a squadrillion times already. We'll be seeing that word a lot, and we might as well get it right. A wether is a neutered ram; if he wears a bell to lead the flock, he's a bellwether.

Sorry, it's a pet peeve. End of rant.

[Torie]

You can tell from the list. Carson has won, Northup has won, Hostettler is barely ahead (which would be an upset if he loses), and it is tight in Indiana 2. So far, the 5-10 gain projection is on track. This is a very partisan election so far. Ind-7 was too Dem.

[ishmac]

District 2: Rep Chocola leads 59-37%, 6%

WNDU has results from St. Joe Co. They have Jill! ahead, 51-49 (yeech!). They said 55% of precincts have reported. Don't have any news on LaPorte or Elkhart Co's.

[Darlin']

"5.7% reporting. Jeb at 66%, McBride at 33%. Safe to say that that split won't hold"

No, I'd say its a safe bet it won't....LOL Heck, the democrats' lawyers are still having dinner. Look for big talk and some number changes after cognac. LOL

[Tree of Liberty]

LOL, the cry from us guys would be heard far and wide if that happened.

[branch15_5]

Good news so far in NC:

With 9% reporting, Dole is up 55-44.

[Leto]

Remember the polls in Nj races have been off by 10%+ in NJ state wide races a few times in the past 10 years, Whitman down 11% won by 2% and Franks/Corzine poll down 15%+ and lost by 2%.

Earlier call from the campaign, just asked us to get out to vote.

We'll see soon the polls are closed now.

[Democratshavenobrains]

The DUhers are reminding me of Hitler in his bunker, blaming everyone else in the world for McBride losing. Because everyone knows that all the news stations are part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy lol.

[HoosierFather]

Loosen that sphincter, buddie!

[Lurking2Long]

Cokie Roberts on ABC says that this could be the 4th time since Lincoln that the party in the White House GAINS seats!
