wow, didn't think Webb would pull it off. Still only about 8000 votes, but I doubt recounts and absentees can make it up.

I surely must learn more about American libertarians, seems so impossible to me, especially considering the authoritarian approach to civil rights by Bush's government.
Bush's "authoritarian approach to civil rights" is largely a myth, albeit one popular amongst Europeans who think they know more about America than they actually do. It's really rather ironic, given that most European countries are far more authoritarian when it comes to civil rights than the US is, even under Bush's tyranny...
And it's also true that civil rights have not been expanded under Bush, or do you claim something else?

Or what about the domestic phone tapping business.. that sounds reasonable.
There are tons of violations today in US that weren't there before. But yes, there are violations in Europe as well. BUt if you think there's a great difference, you think you know Europe better than you do

In Montana the votes from Fergus county (very republican) are in and with 91% reported, the difference is a few hundred shy of 2k. The remaining precincts are pretty tied so far, so it's going to be ridiculously close.Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test.

Word. This will be about a 45+ swing in the House and perhaps a 6 seat swing in the Senate. That's massive. That's close to 2004 numbers.Originally posted by Drake Tungsten

Not 45... Closer to 35.

Tester and Webb are now solidly clinched, not counting absentees. Tester has a lead of almost 2k, and the only county left had a total population of about 2k in the 2000 census.Comment

One interesting thing is that if the Dems did 1% better generally (increasing their net vote by 2%), we'd be looking at 1994-scale House losses."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.
