And these numbers are without three heavily GOP counties reporting because people are still voting.

Does anyone know how the Senate seats to be defended in 2008 break down, R vs. D? Hope we can keep it, even if it's razor thin.

You won't like the answer. In 2008 the GOP has to defend 22 Senate seats and the RATS only 12. This is because we did so well in the 2002 cycle. Frankly, I'm glad that it will be a presidential year.

The GOP approach to illegal immigration depressed the base rather than energizing it. That spells defeat in midterm elections.

No.

The GOP House was strong on illegal immigration. The GOP House is being defeated tonight.

Too many times polititians from both sides read the pols and decide what side they are on only at that point. President Bush has been one who has avoided that attitude, and for me that makes him just about the most principled men in Washington.

I'll let you all in on a little secret. GW would have lost last election if it weren't for the war. His adminstration botched that over time. His tax cuts were very good. Other than that NADA for a true conservative. So tomorrow we can hear RUSH talking with half of his brain in limbo telling us that this is a conservative nation. And we will see how many of these elected pols from this corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" will set in motion the whole amnesty that will destroy a nation w/o any revolution. Adios suckers.

Somebody else just said a second ago we would hold Foley's seat.

MSNBC is projecting a net 29-seat shift toward the Dems.

Yes...if the weatherman is pissing on me and telling me it's rain.

You think the GOP lost some seats tonight because of a few posters on FR? What planet do you live on?

The GOP lost some seats tonight because their policies on some issues depressed their traditional mid-term voting base.

The GOP didn't have to do it, but they did for some unknown reason.

Sad to say it, but things have to get worse before they get better. We have indeed probably lost Iraq just like Vietnam......at home politically and mentally.

Those who were proclaiming that Iraq is another Vietnam created the very conditions whereby this became possible. This is more then self-fulfilling prophecy. They wanted America to lose all along.

No he's not. MSM is the network news and major newspapers and magazines. AM radio is not mainstream.

I don't think you'll have to pay out that $500 to anyone.

All our predictions turned out to be overly optimistic.

More than 60k votes - the % is the % of precincts, not votes. This will be VERY tight - if not flip - by the end of the night. I'll be much happier when Richmond City reports.

You are absolutely right. We need to make significant progress in building some sort of alternative to the MSM before the 2008 cycle.

Really? Because as far as I can tell the Dems mostly winning are pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-borders, etc...all conservative issues. Or they said they were anyway.

Seems to me what the GOP needs to learn is that the "moderates" aren't as trustworthy as the conservatives, and that when you run as a conservative and govern as a conservative you'll win. If you don't, the Dems will run as conservatives and take away Independents while the "moderates" will demonstrate NO loyalty whatsoever.

I hate to sound so negative, but MO has St. Louis and KC not reported yet, she may very well win... I'd bet it's the same for Ford in TN

Well now that it looks like they'll be in the majority party, do you think they'll still vote for Patriot Act type bills?

Fox is reporting that Talent is in big trouble in MO, smaller than expected numbers in red areas and no numbers from St. Louis.

Sorry Dolphy, if you thought I was limiting the categories. While I agree that some good things did get done, that's like saying we mowed the lawn and cleaned out the garage, while the water pipes leaked in the house and rotted out the floor.
