Well the Democrats took the house..... now to keep my fingers crossed they take the senate too. This is really close. I almost feel kind of nerdy following it this close. I love it.

you are.

Profound Rocco. 49-49 in the Senate right now with the democrats barely ahead in Virginia and Montana.

I gave up on following as much as I used to. It is all just games they play. The people they protect. The finger pointing they do. The lies they tell. I dont trust either side. Then again,when I look at the people,I dont look at what side they are on. I look at what they stand for.

Sad thing,many people in this country dont do that. They will vote for that side no matter what that person stands for. I cant stand clinton and she got her seat back in NY. And I am glad I dont live in Cook County if todd wins. How they can even think about voting him in I have no clue.

Why rod got back in I am not sure either. Then again,when one spends money 5 times more then the other. You can say he 'bought' the election.

But everywhere I look. I hear the same thing. Even if both the house and senate change over. It will still be to close in the senate for anything to happen with bush still in. So nothing will get done for atleast the next 2 years. Basicly,all they will be able to do is raise a stink over things. But I see that will be the only thing that goes on. Everything will still be the same. About 100 big kids fighting over stupid things because their group says no even though their people say yes.

wow dan ur a democrat? this explains everything....

+1

Well its a bittersweet victory for the Dems. I am pleased that they took the House, needed 16 seats and got 28! I am glad because balance is restored to the Force. There were NO checks and balances for 6 years, and Bush never met a bill he didn't like - until stem cells at least. Now we will see A LOT of vetos in the next two years = less BS pork money going around, a lot less partisan crap sailing through Congress, and hopefully, everyone will return to doing their friggin JOBS! And I hope the Dems don't screw up, or they're screwed.

How about the Stroeger kid winning on his fathers name???? Talk about brainless voters. Sure glad I don't live in Crook County.

No Kidding! I could not believe it! I would have voted for Periaka (sp) just to snub the machine!
Any word on the Senate?

I would rather have rod in than topinka.......

As for the Senate. It looks like the dems will take it 51-49. They won montana by 3000 and missouri by more than that. They are also up by 6000 in virginia.

And czech..... can you actually comprehend the republican ideas or do you just do what mommy and daddy do?

I thought it was important for Rod to win, because when Obama runs for Pres in 08, the Gov will appoint his successor. I did not want Topinka to appoint our next senator.

Obama runs in 08? cool...I like him. That'd be the first non-white president if he won too, right? Any clue who he's up against?

The 2 party system sucks and we need a real change IMO.

Try to follow politics a bit first. Why do you like him?? He has not actually said he is running yet. People just assume. He would technically be the first non-white president though if he runs and wins as he is half african american. The republicans have not said who will be running yet either.

Profound you want profound you get....

Blow me Dan. J/K
