Please Mods can we have one central Live thread ...its tough jumping from thread to thread to get results.
Allen continues at 78/22 losing rate for the last 3000+ votes. Looks like Senator Allen is a goner.
Night Night Megg. I am with you
What are you going to do now.....vote for some useless fringe party? If so, then just vote for the Dems.
Yeah, I don't see why they aren't calling it for Webb. Maybe because it will most likely come down to a few thousand votes.
Exactly right. They outstanding precinct, Prince William have been spliting the votes between Allen and Webb equally. Good point. You know the RATS are going to contest this. However, the absentees should put us comfortably over.
Just Democrat Machine holding out to see how many ballets they need to stuff. They cut it too close in the 2000 presidential election. I guess they learned their lesson.
Not DICK Cheney. And not dick anyone else. I am pushing Kinky F to split the whatever vote. Must not be a Mormon, according to Howlin
Night.
Why havn't the Dims solved the worlds problems yet?
I'm as upset about the border as the next person, but not so upset that I was willing to turn power over to the democratic party. I did hear earlier this week that the Buchananites were not voting GOP.

The election is over. Now it's time to fix the party.
Even if it takes a sledgehammer to get the job done.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
The Republicans need to replace this guy as Speaker is all I can say [sarcasm off]
Ummm..Chico.... before you commit suicide, don't forget about the absentee votes that haven't been counted and how many military votes that entails.
Arnold the RINO is up 29 points, and may have a Republican Lt Gov., Sec State, Controller and Insurance Commissioner too
Same problem for Talent in MO.
But............Steele.........?
We need Jim Inhofe.
BTW if he does lose it will royally tick a lot of us off because if he had run for Governor we would have had a good change to get rid of Napolitano.
Many of the Democrats who won tonight campaigned as conservatives, and perhaps for a good number of them, that will be true and they will not walk in lock-step with Pelosi and the BendOver.org'ers. They may not get positions of power right away, but if they are conservative or moderately so, they can erode the leftist socialism pervasive in the Dem party today.
Second, impeaching Bush is not a high priority for many Americans, and it's not what they want. Dems who try it will find out what the Republicans learned in 1998 from the failed attempt at impeaching Clinton.
Also, in relation to the above, politics as we all know is a give and take proposition. If the Dems go whole-hog on impeaching Bush or rasing taxes or not funding troops (which by and large the vast majority in this country do not want to see regardless of their feelings on Iraq), the Republicans can fight back by not voting for legislation with earmarks favoring the Democrat districts of the various Dem Committee members.
The alleged Dem control of the House is not veto-proof. Bush can torpedo any Dem legislation he feels will harm the economy and veto any attempt to de-fund the troops. The Dems will not be able to override. Bush can then use the "look who wants us to lose the GWOT" and "look who's shutting down the government" similar to the tactic Clinton used.
Finally the Democrats will have to show something for this in two years, something favorable to a large majority of Americans or they will be out.
This is not the end for us but the start of a way to reform the Republican party and shake the RINO's out of the complacency they've had. But I admit it came at the price of losing a few good conservative politicians.
Finally a message to Nancy Pelosi, enjoy your victory but remember these words from 'Patton':
For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.
Fox is describing a lot of these winning Dems as "conservatives." I find that hard to believe.
Fox also says Pryce wins in OH. Excellent. Schmidt also is ahead.
I am finding Fox's coverage to be rather dull though, and there is just too much yammering on and on. Plus before they seemed to be putting up a lot of incorrect numbers. How annoying. I cant bear to look at CNN or MSN though.
If Nancy's House won't vote funds to support the effort in Iraq there is nothing GWB can do.
Are absentee ballots in the totals on Virginia's election page?
