We won.

So did Gore -- at least some people think so.

Hasn't anyone heard of negotiating skills? The ones where you ask for twice what you want, ask for outrageous things, so that when the other party gives you what you want, they can delude themselves that they forced you to compromise.

That is exactly what the Democrats did -- ask for everything, including the kitchen sink, so now the Republicans are so happy that the Dems "settled" for 40%, despite the rules which said that they are only entitled to 33%.

And wait until next time, when the Democrats will ask for 60-40 for their side, while there is still a Republican majority, and then they will "settle" for 50-50.

Will that be a win for the Republicans too?

Yep. The GOP pisses on our legs, then tells us it's raining.

Ok...let's take a deep breath...we are going to get Hussein...Dubya is going to give a great SOTU...we are going to replace Rehnquist, O'Connor, and Ginsberg with YOUNG CONSERVATIVE USSC JUSTICES...ones who are going to be there a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

Then we are going to add 4-6 seats to our Senate majority in LESS than two years...

Let's just keep our eyes focused on the horizon, not the white dotted lines next to the wheels...
