    Liberal controlled media?

    Are you on drugs?

    The Democrats didn't lose because they ran as liberals. They lost because they ran as Republicans. Serves 'em right, too.

    And there is NO such word as "irregardless"!

            Yes, after watching the reps take a beating all night in Illinois, it was a refreshing change to view the early national results.

                  Let's see what our Party does with the victory.

                    Maybe not. The timing just changed. There will be a lull before the 2004 elections crank up. Bush isn't besieged now with the REPS taking back the senate. He will now be percieved to have total control. That's a great starting negotiating position. I hope he has the brains to take advantage of it. Unlimited access for returning arms inspectors would be quite a political victory. I'll bet they're nervous in Iraq this morning.

                      You know it's amazing that picking up 2 seats in the Senate annoints you as a hardworking genius. I guess expectations were just so low for any kind of movement at all.
                      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                          In a midterm election when the oppossing party was still expected to hold control of the Senate at the end of the day, I believe that the President deserves a little credit.

                            We are talking about American Politics.
                            Expectations are always low.

                              This will be perceived as a Bush mandate. Obviously, if things go bad in the next two years, Bush will get the blame and it could cost him reelection. But the opposite is also true. If things get better, if the economy turns up, Iraq goes well, and the Senate passes some bipartisan bills like Welfare reform or Social Security, then Bush will get the credit. In that case, Bush could get reelected in a landslide.

                                Oh, I'm with you, Dino. He deserves a lot of credit and it's clear that he deserves even more because he was underdog. Those new senators we have are very strong (Coleman will instantly be respected, I'm sure). I'm just observing the expectations game. Only USA Today called the Republican breeze.

                                You realize that we spent a billion dollars on political ads in order for there to be a 2-seat movement in the Senate?
