[cajungirl]

That is not nice!!! Half of us went for Terrell. Doesn't that count for anything???

[Theodore R.]

You are right on target. This defeat will be magnified many, many times in the coming days. Economic news could soon trump Saddam Hussein.

[kms61]

Fletcher's ads tried hard to link Alexander with Pelosi, Rangel, and a couple of other of the usual suspects. Apparently it didn't work.

[Darlin']

Yes, Fletcher lost, too but it is so close that it is an automatic recount.

[Holden Magroin]

Bush = Idiot. He should've waited until Saturday night to fire O'Neil. In fact, he shouldn't have appointed him in the first place! The guy has opposed every tax cut ever proposed.

[JulieRNR21]

I'm sorry.....mostly because the media will proclaim this a defeat of Bush's 11-05 semi-mandate.

Exactly...CNN anchor just said that 'this is a big night for democRATs!'......GRRRRRR!!!

[clintonh8r]

Collins, Spector, Chaffee, Snow, McCain....I'm sure Dasshole and Shrillary are going over their FBI files right now.

[wharfrat]

This vote by the black voters may be the last vestige of the Solid South so with that said here is the challenge of the future! In the national election it was the lack of this vote that won the day for Conservatives so does this tell you anything? This is a tenuious victory at best and no time to chirp! Time to get busy and get organized. In the common vernacular guys "This Is a Wake-up Call" Whistleing Dixie does not cut it!

[jla]

Landrieu wins this one folks!

Thanks for all your positive feedback, Mr. Dewey.

[habs4ever]

Agreed! Bush will win major tax cuts in 2003 and beyond.If not, Breaux will pay for the blonde's perfidy.The Dems have NO leverage.

[hole_n_one]

Anyone going to be able to watch any news show today or tomorrow after this including FOX?

That's going to be a miserable experience.

[MJY1288]

Yes she did, and she didn't have to pull an Al Gore by re-inventing herself like Landreau did. After all, It was Landreau's support of President Bush that won her this election

[VRWC_minion]

It is a big night for Rats. However, they may end up thinking their move to the left is what helped them. I hope so.

[nicmarlo]

Let's just cross our fingers that McLame and a couple others don't do the jumpin' jeffords.

[Torie]

It looks like Landrieu won by 3%, just a tad less than the individual parish trend. I knew there was big trouble as soon as I saw Evangeline.

[BenR2]

False analogy. Terrell didn't enter a beauty contest.

Even granting you your debating point (touche!), is my comment about Miss Australia pro- or anti-Semitic?

[Search4Truth]

LOL. I'm tired, and I'm disappointed! Here's to fighting the good fight. Good night all.

[Mo1]

I'm sorry.....mostly because the media will proclaim this a defeat of Bush's 11-05 semi-mandate.

I'm sorry .. but the last I heard the Republicans still had control of ALL the houses..

As for the talk of those Rino's jumping party .. it would be the DUMBEST thing they could ever do .. they might as well kiss their political career Good-Bye

And if they think I'm wrong .. Just go ask Jeffords .. if I recall .. he even lost his committe seat ..

[Sparta]

I'm about to post a strategy thread for the '03 state elections. Please spread the word to all LA Freepers.
