Please Mods can we have one central Live thread ...its tough jumping from thread to thread to get results.
Impossible to say. It's going to be very close.
Who knows. This one could be real close. Depends on Yellowstone and Mehger (pro-GOP, but small) and 75% of Fergus vs. 23% Cascade where the Rat has a lead.
Gallatin is running about 50-50, but has 2/3s of the vote out there. Some smaller counties (pro-Burns) are missing a precinct or two.
Burns has to make up 5,277 votes. It's going to be close, that's for sure. Hopefully there's enough outstanding to give Burns the win.
I'm not sure that it's very good news. Burns carried Yellowstone County by about 2600 in 2000. He needs to win by that amount or better this time around to squeak by.
No, just Tehran. Regime change in Tehran (however it's accomplished) will make Syria (and Lebanon, and "Palestinians", and "insurgency" in Iraq) impotent. Would also help big time with Russia and China as their big client states in ME (Iraq and Iran) would be under new management. Of course, it would be much more difficult now as Dems will not be too anxious to call for action on Iran as they did with Iraq, but will blame whatever happens, or doesn't happen, on Bush... or at least Rumsfeld as a proxy.
Of course, the other way to settle Iraq is to take a step back and let the Shiites massacre the Sunnis.
And Sunnis killing Shiites. It's a little slow going, but we are already successfully doing that, just had to wait a while until Tehran is resolved, which may be a problem now. And it's not a "plan" you can run on or even clearly explain to electorate - you just hope they understand, but between DBM and ferile Dems...
The Senate isn't lost yet, unless you know more than the rest of us do.
I thought Webb ran on a lot of conservative issues?
Yeah, I just saw that on another post. What a relief!!
So, MT and VA, and we won't know anything on those two until tomorrow or even later - somebody said Thursday for one of them. We only absolutely have to keep one of them.
Do I see right that we are a few votes away from losing the senate too?
Thanks.
Dude, that's just plain obnoxious to post that at this hour of the morning.
Easier if the poster quotes the specific line(s) he's responding to! ;-)
If a person is disastified with the Republican party and refuses to vote for them any more, would you rather that person stay home, vote third party or vote for the democrat?
By your logic, staying home or voting third party is the same as voting for the democrat - it's not.
From the TN SoS election results for tonight and also prior elections.
I think, probably, Rumsfeld is going to have to go, now. He's become a liability. He's a great man, but his effectiveness is gone.
Bring in Lieberman. Especailly now. Gov. Rell can appoint his replacement.
Sadly, I think you're right about triangulation. And Bush will think Rove is still a genius for proposing it!
Why does Rumsfeld have to go? And why would Lieberman want it after just winning reelection?
The senate took a lot of losses even if they do hold on. That invalidates the logic that the House got punished but the Senate didn't.
Very few incumbent republicans in the senate were up for reelection and a high percentage took a hit.
Three is a lot?
Ohio did too by 56% to 42%. I know what that means too I am a business owner, and deal with many ICs, their costs just went up and we will have to renegotiate prices, and then I in turn will have to raise my prices to cover my higher overhead. And that row of dominos won't stop falling till we get a general raise in costs in Ohio, which of course is always good on the local business economy. < /sarcasm >
