In some lighter news, Ahnold will remain president of the state of California.

I loved his address: "I love doing sequels!"

Only in America could an Austrian Body Builder Immigrant run for political office and win.

[Unknown Target]

I think that's a good thing

[Kazan]

they were talking about him on npr and it sounds like he pretty much reinvented himself to manage the win - apologized for the ballot iniatives, stopped demeaning the democratic state congress and started working with them, etc

[redmenace]

Now that it is clear they have control of the house, what next? According to some, it is hollow promises and half baked goals and implementation: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/06/AR2006110601121.html

Eh? what do you mean 

[Freespace Freak]

Well, Virginia and Montana are too close to call, they say.  But Montana looks as though it will definately be Democrat, even with a recount, and Virginia looks like it has a slight lead with their Democratic candidate, that even with a recount, may result in "Virginie" going Democrat.  (Oh the irony, I guess there just wasn't enough hoedowns in the state to sway the state for the Republicans).  This is good news for Democrats, but also very scary news.  This kind of reversal would have been preferred in 2008.  Now they have to be very careful to both look good in the public's eye, and hope that Dubya continues to look like a bafoon, or continue to make him look like one, in public opinion.

I knew it.  Just about every single candidate was red from my state, and it was no surprise that Matheson was elected either. 

Now we wait for Pelosi to start jumping and screaming about impeaching Bush and company from office.  Oh the drama that will ensue in America.  It'll be the Clinton sex scandal all over again, cept this time it'll be about the mismanagement of the war.  "A new direction for America".  Yeah, right down the ****in toilet.

Yeah, it'll be the Clinton sex scandal all over again. Well, replace "blowjob" with "disastrous, hugely expensive war", but those two are pretty much interchangeable 'cause I dunno how you do it, but every time I get a blowjob, hundreds of thousands of people die, and I can't for the life of me figure out how I'm going to get my penis out of there after the mission is accomplished.

Must refrain from making joke about title. Must... refrain...

Eh, first keep in mind the reason's that George Allen is loosing because of the Iraq war and the Mucacca Comment. Yes this is good news for the Dems, but both of these areas are incredibly conservative regaurdless of migration into Va from DC. Keep in mind that in montana the difference is razor thin and a lack luster performance in the house and or senate with no vision could easily hurt democrats, and have things swing back the other way. With such tight races and very little breathing room, these seats in the senate could easily be taken back in 6 years. Keep in mind, that this was NOT a triumph of idealogy and thus I ask is it really a true victory for the democrats? Personally, I think this is simply a gut reaction. If you ask them why you voted democrat, it will be due to the scandals and etc. Not the exemplar vision the democrats have given. On a side not, prepare for filibusters galore.

oh, and the reaction of the talk radio guys... well let me describe to you the first thing I heard on the radio this morning

"well... /*twenty second pause*/ we beat the smoaking tax... the... four cents on a... pack of... ...ciger...etes.... you can just talk all you want to about that, cause we... beat that down....... so, it wasn't a _total_ loss... ..."

this made my day so much brighter, cause he was the guy who was all like "Amendment 2 will allow human cloneing and take away all of your freedom forever!!!!!", jackass.

[Bobboau]
