Yep. This was actually an election to go on offense and take back both houses, instead of basically conceding small additional losses in each.
Well, if they’d take my advice, which I’m sure they won’t and probably rightly so, my thinking is that (if the current outlook is holding), they should heavily concentrate on VA, NH, and CO and chain each of those Senate candidates to Sarah Palin while they do it. If they can help those candidates, we MIGHT be able to eke out a 1 seat net gain in the Senate or a push and have Lieberman move to R to give us the majority as a final f-u to Reid. Taking the house back is nearly impossible, but (again if the current climate holds) we can make a modest gain.
I think Gilmore is a good candidate who can beat Warner if we really get behind him. Same in CO. Sununu may be a lost cause, but we should go down fighting.
I’d be okay with the children running the house for 2 more years, while the adults can smack down their nonsense in the Senate. Plus, we can get some judicial nominees through.
Isn’t it funny that the guys we trust to smack down foreign enemies are so gutless with domestic ones that they actually lay down and take it when their sworn enemy tells them they’re going to lose? lol
