Hillary will only get a second-tier office concurrent with her seniority in the Senate, which is pretty low since she's only been there two years"

She is number 97, or was, not counting any Dems who won tonight (Snicker)....her "new" office should be somewhere UNDERGROUND........and she did FORCE Daschle to give her a really swell office last time!

Now, come on........tell me the ABSOLUTE BEST part of the whole night. I know you know.......tell me now!

Oh Geeez .. there were so many

But hearing Judy and Paula over at CNN say over and over and over .. What Went Wrong would have to be up there

Then there is the thought of Terry the 18 Million Dollar man saying to himself .. Oh Sh!t

Then there is Carville with a Trash can on his head

Oh OH and let's not forget how pissed off Hillary and Bill are gonna be ... hehe

Oh my, I have a pretty big barf alert here:

GOP Uses Suppression Tactics to Intimidate Voters Across the Country

Straight from the dnc.org website.

Hmm, maybe I will use that spare Sore/Loserman Bumbersticker I have from 2000.

I wasn't blaming you, BG. I know people here voted for Simon and lots of others in CA. But more voted Davis than didn't.

I never mean to paint CA with a broad brush because I know most areas are "red". It's those few "blue" areas that just wreck it.

Clinton's new speech topic as he drops some zeros from his standard rate: It Was Somebody Else's Fault.

This is the celebration we deserved on election night in 2000, wouldn't you agree? I'm so happy, I think I'll drink to myself... cheers, Y'ALL!!!

Yeah, but in the end, I'm pretty happy 2000 happened as it did. It was a hell of a ride, and we learned a LOT about just how low the other side will stoop.

And now we'll get a mini-ride in Louisiana over the next month! Woo hoo!

"HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE TONIGHT"

There will be a LOT to 'deconstruct' from tonight. For the first time in a VERY VERY LONG time, Republicans in Missouri control both the State House and Senate. Missouri has always been a battleground state......evenly divided between Republicans and RATS. Not tonight! NEVER AGAIN!

I'm out too...thanks for the great evening Freepers. I was a lurker prior to the 2000 election but never spent an returns evening in a live thread. Very fun - especially with the way it all turned out!

Too much Kool-aid, obviously. It fouls the mouth.

How many votes went to Libertarians? That is probably where your win went.

Unknown... Looks like it would have still been a Davis win

69% of precincts reporting votes by county or locale voter survey results

Davis (incumbent) 2,101,136 48%
Simon 1,875,374 42%
Camejo (Green) 226,545 5%
Copeland (Libertarian) 93,823 2%
Gulke (American Independence) 76,930 2%
Adam (Natural Law) 51,627 1%

OMG......Julian Epstein is on Fox, telling us why this is just a "tick" to the GOP side, that the Senate is really still evenly divided!

Now we can all go outside the box for a 2004 presidential nominee
Let's face it. Gore will get trounced. Gephardt will get trounced. Daschle will probably get trounced. Edwards is a trial lawyer, for God's sake. I can't see Kerry or Dean doing it, either; guys similar to them tanked tonight against Bush's tools.
Who does that leave?

The answer is that it leaves plenty of people. They just need to be found and drafted (hell, we're all probably going to get drafted, anyway)

Wes Clark. Four stars, the ability to stare Bush down, swing state and "swing state personality".

Claudia Kennedy. Only three stars, but you get the gender thing going, and a hell of a biography.

Laura Tyson. Will you be better off than you were four years ago?

Michael Jordan. Don't laugh until you think it through.

Harrison Ford. What does he stand for? Gotta be better than Bush.

Now, I don't know any of these people, and I have zero clout in the Democratic party. However, I can tell you that if we don't nominate someone that can show the center and the non-radical independents that we have something to offer them, I bet you we lose 7 winable Senate seats in 2004 (Boxer, Miller, Bayh, Mikulski, Reid, Schumer, Edwards and/or their replacements) , even if Bush is unbeatable anyway. While I have no doubts that Bush will show an Achilles' heel, it will need to be seized upon, and this election shows me no evidence that politicians who talk in the traditional Dem. style will make it in national elections (notice how I said talk, not act).

So go out and draft one of these guys.


!!!!!!!!!From DUh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Davison Co will probably go 50-50. Shannon Co - Indian reservation - is a major concern.

Except for the damage to the decent people of CA, I'm kind of glad Davis will win...his policies and corruption got them into the mess - and it would be nice to watch him squirm and wiggle. (And nice not to see someone else like Simon get all the flak for Davis' crap)

Yup. Considering how utterly disliked he is by Californians, it can only help us in that state in 2004 and 2006.
