All I can say is... despite the GOP's general collapse ...
THANK GOD LINCOLN CHAFEE LOST!!!!
Say it with me now...
Are you so ridiculously out of touch?
Get a sleep please! That could help.
Um, why is this a good thing? His vote was important for committee assignments.
I care enough to type that I do not care...
Yep, I refuse to be depressed by any of these results. Maybe the R's get a little of what they deserve for not fighting hard enough. Having the D's in control makes for good talk radio. This will be two fun years of having Pelosi out front spewing her dopey ideology.
I'M GLAD CHAFEE LOST!!!
Not much went my way during this election but this did.
North East is now clear of Republicants....
Oh well, at least you are happy.
it wouldnt have mattered if we held the senate but we didnt. he would have voted for a majority of the judges bush sent through.
More like 20 more years of Pelosi.
This is the reason they RINO's are needed... States like this a conservative cant win anyhow.
The only good things I have seen tonight are Chaffee lost and that smarmy Harold Ford lost.
Oh sure....thank God he lost. A win would have ment we kept control of the Senate which we will now lose. I don't share your glee with the new Senate Majority leader Harry Reid. No wonder we lost tonight with this attitude.
Dude, Chafee has a 26% conservative voting record.
His is lower than many DEMOCRATS!!
Chafee is NO HELP to the GOP and NEVER was.
He was holding up Bolton's nomination to the U.N.
His vote was worthless. If the Senate was 50/50, he would have switched parties anyway. Of all the people who lost tonight, he was one of the few who really deserved to lose.
If you need Chafee to win the Senate then something bigger is out of order.
You have a reading comprehension problem.
I never said I wanted the GOP out of power. But, since we ARE, I say I'm glad Chafee went WITH it!!!
You really need to pay attention.
What if he caucuses with the democrats next year?
LOLOL
"Chafee is NO HELP to the GOP and NEVER was. "
Given that it appears we may well lose 51-49 he was a big damn help. He caucused with the right party. Had Lincoln won, we'd have control of all the senate commitees locked up. His loss could have huge consequences in terms of legislation and court nominees.
