POLITICS: Republicans Are Complete Losers: Dems Take Senate

It’s all over. The AP just called Montana for Democrat Jon Tester. It is officially the worst night in Republican history. But they should stick with the Iraq war and the whole “religious” thing.

Feel free to gloat, you deserve it.

just a step in the right direction (ironic, eh?)

i was expecting a bit more vitriol, FTR. don't you usually kick them when they're down?

GOOD! but it is just a small step for now - most people are a little too scarred by the past several years in politics to gloat just yet.

Oh, happy days!

maybe people aren't gloating much because the best you can say about most democrats is "at least they aren't republicans."

Not sure if this has been reported yet. Donald Rumsfeld will be stepping down today. He will be replaced by former CIA director and current President of Texas A&M, Robert Gates.

Bush doesn't look too happy.

The Republicans want a recount in Virginia. They are running around using phrases like "we need to make sure every vote is counted." Fucking classic irony. They will clearly try to drag this out for as long as possible. It will be interesting to see if they try to get something into the courts so they can use Bush's stooges on the Supreme Court to give them another election.

Lets see if they actually do something now that they're elected instead of being afraid to do what's needed. I'm sick of politicians just trying to not piss anyone off so they'll be elected.

I'm just listening to Dubya's address now - man, does he sounds peeved

Nice work, America, we're glad to have you back.

Impeach Bush, then take out Cheney, Pelozi becomes the first female president of the united states, and Rumsfeld Cheney and George can take their seats in an international war crimes tribunal.

this ain't his first rodeo!

He just referred to the "cumulative effect" of the election as a "thumpin'."

No, indeed. He's whining like a spoiled brat. My only regret is that it took this long for mainstream America to see him for what he is.

Wait, have they called Virginia yet? I know the Dem was winning, but it was well-within the recount margin.

If VA goes red, it'll be 50-50, so Vice President "Satan" Cheney will be the tiebreaker.

As glad as I am for this to have happened, I somehow don't feel like it was an ideological victory. This doesn't feel permanent. Rather than the nation realizing that liberalism has something important to offer, I get the sense that this is ONLY happening because folks are pissed off with their current politicians.

Come on, dems, prove me wrong. Take a stand.

and now Rummy goes down. I'm on my 4th bag of popcorn.

i'm holding out on the celebration until virginia is clear.

Right. There's a mandatory recount since the margin is (well) below 1%. We only win if we get Virginia, too, though I'm happy as pie to have Montana (MONTANA?) in the fold.

As much as I want to agree with you, being a representative is ABOUT not pissing people off. You're supposed to represent the voters, not be punk rock.


The lesson here is that voters need to get more radical.

They haven't called Virginia yet. And believe me, Republicans are going to scrap like motherfuckers to sway things their way.

It's comes from not understanding realpolitik.

I wanted to puke when he said that

He's trying to sound bipartisan NOW...
