Last act of the night, adding Reid to the win column.
Good night folks.
Good night folks.
We'll have to see I guess.
I think people realize that its unlikely that you'll have health care reform removed this go round, or the Bush Tax cuts extended as a whole. However, I think people want these republicans to push for that and fight for that rather than go in and immediately give up and "compromise" on those things. Those are some fundamental things that were pushed by Republicans in this election and I can sure as hell tell you that most people voting for them weren't voting for them to go in and immediately compromise on those things and lose a spine with it. I'd rather see them try to repeal the health care law, and fail because of Obama vetoing it or the Senate stopping it, then I would to see them "compromise" and keep it in place with a few minor tweaks. If they don't push this issue then they're likely not getting my support in 2012 like they did in 2010, and I dare say there are many people who voted for them that feel that way. If they "compromise" on the things that were the MAIN reason they were voted in then they're no better than those we voted out.
House:
Republicans - 217
Democrats - 146
Good night everyone... See you in the trenches tomorrow.
To each his own, I guess.
I think if the Republicans spend the next two years tilting at windmills trying to repeal health care, instead of doing useful things where they can actually impact policy (e.g. education, trade, payroll taxes), they'll be tossed right back out again.
CNN is showing off their stupid high-tech toys again.

Buck is now leading according to the data I'm seeing.
And Bennett is a complete moron.
Why?
Election Update: Democrat Harry Reid wins U.S. Senate race in Nevada.
people that vote for things they know their constituents don't want don't deserve to retain office.

Reid and Pelosi keeping their seats makes 2012 much easier all across the country for conservatives.
So, since 80% of Americans are for the overturn of DADT, you think those who vote against it should be thrown out of office?
DADT is stupid, but I question that 80% of the people even understand the ramifications.
His constituents didn't want Obamacare and they wanted to audit the fed, with a real audit, not the wimpy Bernie Sanders version.
giood riddance to bad rubbish.
I see. So Bennett is an idiot not because you actually know anything at all about him, but merely because you don't like his votes on a couple issues. For some reason, I thought you had something useful to say instead of just partisan garbage. I'll not make that mistake again. :roll:
Looks like Ken Buck is gonna win Colorado. Too bad; this is the best example in the country tonight of the superior leader losing to an inferior leader.
