BS...put the blame square where it lies...the cut and run republicans...I know a few...and they are practicly giddy right now...

They wanted a moral victory....all they brought was defeat...

Moderates...The bane of the GOP...

May god have mercy on the souls that will be lost now that our enemies will be enboldened...

They were transposed - but that has been fixed. The candidates are operating in minute bites of time while things are changing by the second.

Allen is BEHIND. I haven't done the math, but there is about another 15,000 votes to go, some folks here can tell you how those will break. It is wicked close.

Kristol just predicted that Rumsfeld will step down after this election. In his wildest dreams....he's been pushing for that for months.

One of the big unspoken truths of this election cycle is how much power the MSM still wields, and how little the bloggers have. (Notice how in the one big race the moonbats really wanted to win, the CT Senate, Lieberman annihilated Ned Lamont.)

I agree with you to a point. Historically, the Dems were were supposed to have bigger gains and, with the power of the modern media youdescribe, the gains for them stood to be historic. I think the bloggers helped immensely to rally the base and help staunch the loss in seats.

This wasn't a repeat of 1992 or 1994, as some in the opposition were expecting. It could have been worse. The Dems were certainly expectingbetter of themselves. And we had a chance to hold both houses but it wasn't to be.

We were motivated and jazzed and conifdent and while we didn't get what we wanted, we atill did a bit better than expected.

Talent is a jackass weasel... He was attacked by Fox and McCaskill and would never fight back. Sean had him on his radio show and Sean blasted McCaskill, and asked Talent for his view... he was beyond timid. What a loser

We just voted ourselves an uphill battle. I am up for it.

That's the warrior spirit. Push on.

I agree with that assessment. This is a vote to wash our hands of the world. Which rarely ends well. But given the graditude the world has for all our washing, and the blood and treasure we pay out to get such thanks, it is an understandable sentiment.

Max Collins, the GOP candidate in FL-8, is closing on the rat. With 96% in, they are .08 apart with the rat ahead by 1300 votes.

Thanks. I ditched Fox & went to blatantly biased MSNBC. At least they leave their sheep's clothing off.

That is very interesting because while the vote totals changed by many thousands the vote percentages changed from:

Allen 49.44
Webb 49.36

to

Webb 49.44
Allen 49.36

They exactly flipped percentages.

You don't value conservative judges? Moving the nation to the right is for you, a 'hard pill to swallow?'

Allen never sounds good. I'm surprised he lasted this long. I can't believe he was looking at a Prez run.

Malkin has to accept her share of the blame here. She did more than her share of Bush bashing.

Yep.

Malkin gets most of her info from MSM souces.

JMHO.
