Happiness. I am leery of the idea of Democratic pres. and Democratic filibuster-proof majority in Congress. One-party power is never a good idea. Hopefully Obama will be sane. -- |

I think final vote will be 359-179, an embarrassing loss for McCain and the Republicans. |

Colorado going to Obama, it looks like. Which is somewhat of an important turnover (at least for the people who live there). -- |

How much would John McCain do better by if: it was Gore who did the stuff ups instead of Bush; and if he didn't choose Palin as his running mate? So how much was John McCain's popularity affected by other Republicans? |

Quote: W/out Palin, McCain might well have won. Name someone else McCain could've picked who would have drawn more attention to his campaign and inspired the Rep base more. You can't because the Republican party is a empty husk. I think Palin is one reason McCain did as well as he did. By all rights, this election should've been a blow out for Obama months ago. It remains to be seen if the Republican pundits will blame the loss on Palin though. She could either be portrayed as a leader for the future or a scape goat. Christ, now I have to listen to Dodd and Pelosi. Someone kill ME, PLEASE!!! |
