As my teen daughter would say, mucho coolness.
Great news.
It must be the rice in the A$$ that does it.
Well, for the record, I only said it was "frowned upon" and not absolutely banned.
Particularly lucid examples of liberals gnashing teeth in predictably hysterical ways have been posted here in the past with good and productive result.
I'm just sayin'... :-)
Thank God.
It was closer than it should have been.
On the other hand, the democrats did not get nearly as many voters out for this election as they did in the 2004 election. Meanwhile, Schmidt managed to get more votes in this special election than Portman got in his first special election in 1993 (59132 vs 53020).
The two of them together got about 1/2 the number of votes Portman got in the last election.
You have to wonder why the democrats switched candidates. They already had a candidate (Sanders) who had lost the last 4 elections to Portman -- why switch horses in the middle of the battle? :->
It sure looks like a lot of republicans stayed home, not that a lot of republicans voted democrat. Although I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of republicans accidentally voted for Hackett, what with his pro-Bush ads. Would have been a shock to them to hear him cursing the President.
well, yes, but i mean AT the president calling him vulgar names ie no respect
LOL
I know,
You gave choices and seleted one [smile].
If she is a RINO is the above true?
Excellent news. I heard about this race on Rush today.
Is this Paul Hackett, the ex-49er Offensive Coordinator? I met him once, and worked with his brother for a while. Paul seemed like a good guy -- but never knew he was a Dim.

Enjoy! :)
You have the gift/curse of foresight, my friend. A quite close race in an Ohio district that went 70+% for Bush in the last election. Rush will blither otherwise tomorrow, of course, but it clearly bodes ill for the hubris-filled decade-long legislative Republican majority which has yet to do anything notable for their American constituency other than blow the deficit skyward, swing open the southern border, recreate debtors prisons at the behest of the charge card companies, spurn medical science in numerous ways (stem cells research, marijuana for pain relief), and traipse hundreds of thousands of troops into an ill-considered war in Iraq, which today surpassed 1800 dead.
With a record like that, its clear that if the Democrats were just mildly less offensive to fundamental middle class values they would win most elections in a walk. Bush should yet again be thankful for his incompetent enemies.
But I think his luck will not hold through next year's mid-term elections. In Texan terms, those chickens will come home to roost, at some point. May be flying low and slow, but they'll arrive.
By the way, McNamara was promoted to leadership of the World Bank by Lyndon Johnson, to remove him as an active agent of the Vietnam fiasco. And to where did Bush II promote Wolfrowitz?
Oh no, there's no parallel in that....
Revealing, perhaps, that he's more Democrat than Marine.
The only way they win any more is via massive lies. And they are winning less and less. This is a good trend. Could this have anything to do with alternative media + common sense + the loonie lemmings racing headstrong toward the cliff of irrelevence and obscurity? Run Dummies, run!
Wow you are a rare and unique political breed, a buchanannite Libertarian.
Thank you sir, for noticing and nicely characterizing.
