The balance of power is no more. I am interested to see what Sen. Byrd has to say now...
Me too, but the American population did this. I mean even MN was too close for such a candidate. The balance of power is no more because the American people made it that way. Amazing!
Nows the time for news organizations to do Florida-style post election ballot analysis. I think the results would be eye-opening.
There is no indication that conservatives will even bother to vote in 2010; so I wouldn’t be surprised to see Democrats come out of 2010 with ten or more additional House seats and three or four senators. Certainly Blunt in MO is a sure loser, and that’s supposed to be a “bellwether” state. And even if Castle were to take liberal DE, what would we really have there?
Some surveys show Bernie Sanders to the right of the American people and the Senate.
It is HARD to believe that Coleman lost, after winning both the election AND the first recount! But, the Dems kept counting, and counting, and COUNTING...till they were ahead! THEN they froze it.
Sounds good to me - I always Texas would be the first to secede.
The “filibuster proof” majority means very little. I've said it before and I'll say it again - the dreams of the left will not come true without Republican votes.
America wins the trifecta.
Time for TX to split into 5 states. I understand that the TX Constitution allows for the split.
Too close to Cuba, though. Always wanted to see the USVI.
The last president to have more than 60 of his own party in the Senate was LBJ (67), but whatever you might say about him, he was nothing more than a run-of-the-mill politician who really didn’t care so much to pervert democracy and become absolute dictator as he did to get into his secretary’s panties. Obama, however, is dedicated, and 60 Senate seats in his hands are a dangerous tool.
