Rush said that should the Widder Carnahan lose, The Senate turns back to control of the Republicans immediately. 50-50 tommorrow should the Widder concede. Is this right?

[demlosers]

Yip. The Pubs would control immediately.

That's what I heard too. The widder will lose her seat under MO law, but the Gov may wait to seat Talent. This probably goes to court. What is the current make up of the Seante? Didn't Welstone's Dem seat get changed to Independent due to Ventura naming a replacement?

Brian Williams just stated that the question is not whether the GOP will control the Senate, but what the margin of their control will be which he said will likely be the focus for most of the rest of the night's news reporting!

As for your question, the answer is that the GOP will change over to GOP control (50-49-1) as soon as the Democrat Governor allows Senator Elect Talent to be sworn in to office. He could delay it but would be under pressure to do it within a week or two.

No. I understand that the Constitution limits Senators to a 6 year term and Carnahan's succesor would serve more than 6 years.

G.B.B. -- While I'm DELIGHTED the stone b*tch widder may lose, it doesn't work that way (sorry to say).

In Missouri, BOTH the governor and the secretary of state must CERTIFY the results of a statewide election.

The problem will be that One-Term Bob (a.k.a. Governor Holden) won't certify until all the votes from Fraud Central (a.k.a. North St. Louis) have been counted 4 or 5 times, i.e NEVER.

Ergo, Talent will have to bring suit, and we're back to an imitation Florida.

Talent, btw, is FAR too gutless to challenge a narrow fraud-based victory generated from what STL police officers refer to as 'the jungle'.

DO NOT count any chickens here (I'd LOVE to see the Widder banished, but the RATS will make a REAL joke of the election -- even beyond the extent they have already done).
