I think it is clear, based on the remaining votes in Missouri, Montana, and the result in Virginia.......WE HAVE LOST THE SENATE.
The only hope at this point if for some miracle of God in Missouri.
Missouri will go well into the night. May also go to recount for all we know. As will Virginia, which still has military votes to count. This is what you have to expect when you rack up the size of government, fail to effectively counter the media, fail to purge out corruption as soon as it is uncovered, and have limp fish leading the way (Hastert/Frist). Now, I know if we lose the Senate it may hose us on a USSC Justice - depends on how much Bush is willing to fight for his nominees. I'm totally sick of this "get along with the Dems" attitude. GWB better come out armed with those veto pens, and use that bully pulpit. He is not a lame duck regardless of what the press and the DUmmies say.
VA will go to recount, but GOP never wins recounts - they can only lose them (like in WA 2004). Montana is hopeless. So, we are at -5 now.
It is clear that Talent is running behind his 2002 numbers, so it looks like he will lose bu ~2%. That's -6.
Well, now Dem's control both houses, so they assume a large share of power, and will not be able to run away from responsibility. By early 2008, they will surely repulse quite a few of their 2006 voters.
