Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Do your best. I don't have a side. I voted for a Dem Senator today. I do, however, think Repubs will do themselves a lot of good during the next two years and will field a formidable POTUS candidate in 2016.

Everybody who believes this raise your hand. :lol:

More Nimby political predictions...

And BTW, what were your claims again about the Kansas senate race? :rofl

The magic number 6 was just achieved!

Did I say something to you?
The greatest compliment on DP is how many GOPs come after you.
You are a GOP now right--since they've won ?

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

you gonna keep pushing the equivalence bit still. Predictable. You asking me what I posted years ago... dunno. Don't care. Why don't you disappear for a while searching for it and dig it up?

No use searching for something that clearly doesn't exist.

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Agree. McConnell was a gentleman when he gave her lots of credit in his speech - she should have been a lady in her defeat and wished him congratulations on his victory - the voters decided the outcome, not him.

since you are in Ohio here is an interesting statistic

Democrats Pillich and Pepper (I Voted for Pepper because I know him and I think DeWhine is a scum bag) both LOST the Vote in Hamilton County. Now Hamilton County went for Obama mainly because blacks turned out in force and without one of their own on the ticket, stayed home in 10, and now 14. but that was amazing that Mandel thrashed Pillich in this area. and a GOP guy won her old seat easily.

When DeWhine beat former U of Chicago law Valedictorian and Editor in Chief of that uber prestigious law review, RIchard Cordray i was stunned in 2010

CBS Just called the Senate for the GOP BTW. Kay Hagan is predicted to have lost

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

I'll be happy to see old Nuclear option Reid in the minority. I would rather see a more moderate in charge of the senate than McConnell, but if he runs the senate as he said he would, perhaps I will be surprised. By the way Ernst has taken the lead in Iowa. So if she wins or Tillis in NC it is a done deal without Louisiana.

I'd like to see the filibuster blown up. I don't care if the GOP or the Dems do it. The people vote for a party to lead. Let them lead. If the people don't like the direction, that is what the next election is for. just my opinion but I'd rather see direction rather than the directionless which is what the filibuster provides.

Looks like Republicans will have 55 Senate seats when this is done.

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

True. But he's prematurely lame 'ducked' himself, once again, into the corner. Seems a recurring thing for him.

Makes me wonder how he's going to handle the swing in the congress, and how he'll work with them, or more likely not. He's really not got a strong track record of this.

Obama is perhaps the lamest duck ever.

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Tillis Wins!



This could go up to 10 seats, legitimately. Damn. That's..... kind of a wave.

Republicans just took North Carolina,

This is a blood letting.

GOPs invented the threat of the nuclear option last decade.

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

North Carolina now has a new Republican senator. Make that +7.

 

[Mustachio]

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

There's nothing that will turn Americans against Republicans more than the Republicans controlling congress. Throughout my entire life, everybody hates congress, so whoever is in charge gets booted. It's totally true though - congress sucks. It's a group of people who are bought and owned by special interests. Campaign finance reform is our only hope to fix this sham.

So go on and celebrate, Republicans. It'll only be a matter of time before everybody hates your party because people still haven't figured out what's wrong with our system and will have an easier time accepting that it's all the Republican party's fault.

You're the one to whom the word would apply. Repubs never enacted a nuclear option; Harry Reid did.

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Joni Ernst takes Iowa, that's +6.

Republicans have control of the Senate, provided they don't lose a seat in the remaining states as the time moves to the West.

A little late to the party but MSNBC finally had to admit it.

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

I hope the DEMs shove the filibuster up McConnell's ass as much as the GOP did in the last six years in setting all-time records .

I'd like to see the filibuster blown up. I don't care if the GOP or the Dems do it. The people vote for a party to lead. Let them lead. If the people don't like the direction, that is what the next election is for. just my opinion but I'd rather see direction rather than the directionless which is what the filibuster provides.

You keep electing Stuart Smalley. Credibility gone.
