I think there is a great chance-just like in that period after the 2000 election (jeffords) and 2002. Electorl-vote had a good thing on that.

3. Lot depends on new voters and oversea voters |
|
Not only are they not counted but per the news going to Kerry, and probably Dems for Senate.

you've got me curious enough to go take a look. I believe Carson is doing well in OK, and I derive great pleasure in Obama's trouncing of the disturbing and disturbed Keyes.

. . . quite good.
We are going to pick up IL, AK, CO, and OK.
We are going to "lose" GA and - - at this time - - probably SC, but do not count out SC by any means.
We are going to defend NC, FL, LA, and SD successfully.
That gives us +2 net and a 51-49 (technically (50+1)-49) lead.

15. sweet, and then the senate investigations of the busheviks begin. |
|
by 2006, the US penal system will have to build an entirely new prison just to hold all the corrupt busheviks indicted and convicted.
btw: if the dems take the senate, expect chaffee of rhode island to jump to the democratic party...to go 52/48

I believe that Lincoln Chafee all but said that he would switch if the Senate is tied and if Bush is President. Basically, he doesn't want to be the one resposnible for giving the Chimp unchecked power.
Let's all hope that this will NEVER be the case, but it is worth noting.

It's really old, but the third paragraph down is key.

Of senate seat races: http://www.mydd.com/outlook/senateI'd say the chances are 50/50.

9. Salazar will win Colorado - leading now |
|
He's been a highly respected Attorney General, and even moderate repugs here understand the fascist roots of the Coors family.
Done deal.

10. OK folks I know it's nice to dream but with all of our retirees and if |

Kerry wins we are in real trouble in the senate. If we can keep it from becoming a 2/3 repug we will be doing well. Remember Looserman and several others will likely switch to the dark side to gain power if the senate stays repug. That will put at my count somewhere around 42 Dem's and 58 repugs. Let's spend our time on the house, we can't take it back but we can limit our losses and start building for the future. Grass roots and take no prisoners, blood and guts, drive them into the sea and drown them, no quarter given. This is a fight to the death of our country or our souls.
