LOL, looks like the mods deleted the post!
Let’s just say as a Minnesotan, it described perfectly how I feel right now and about half the people in my state. With a few cuss words thrown in!
Where are they going to get 67 votes to change the rules?
I really hope they don’t steal this one. AK isn’t looking very good for us according to intrade. Chambliss is guaranteed to win. This seat may make or break us, because 41 seats just won’t be enough flexibility.
Jesse Ventura's election proved that about a decade ago.
I made this argument on another post recently.
The Senate rules can be changed with a simple majority vote and I do not think Pelosi will have any compunction in doing so.
Those votes wouldn't be "wasted" if Republicans made themselves the Conservative Party choice and earned those votes. You can't be the party of competition, merit and excellence and then whine that the Democrat won because your voters chose a competitor.
I agree. Wasted was the wrong term, and like Joe Scarbough, sometimes I don’t use my 7 second delay. lol.

SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST!! My first mistake since I joined.
There are a few I wish I could get back as well. However I think we can all agree, the GOP wasted a huge opportunity, and those votes are the evidence.
I just posted a thread about the Indiana and North Carolina numbers—if the Barr votes had gone to Palin and the other guy the GOP would have taken both states.
that’s true, he’s a 911 truther now.
Economically speaking that is true. I imagine though that youre friend doesnt interpret that quote the way someone on our side might. I think “lifting all boats raises the tide” would better describe what our economically challenged friends on the left believe.
