The MSNBC guys are REALLY playing up a big night for the Dems
Talking about major historical shifts in power.

Matthews: "This could be one of those times when the people just change their minds."

Holy.

Fucking.

Shit.

If.

If.

If.

58. I think MSNBC and the other MSM should start evaluating contract buyouts
Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 08:05 AM by Snotcicles
and make some major structural changes.
Maybe take Keith out to lunch, TODAY! before somebody else starts talking to him.

3. Can you believe they changed my cable lineup!
I will have to increase my cable lineup and of course pay more to get MSNBC!

23. I just got MSNBC
on my lineup after begging for years that they add it. Now I can watch KO too. It almost makes up for losing Mike Malloy on the radio (almost). Lordy, I miss Mike. Can't stream due to ancient modem. Mike, this ones for you buddy :toast:

37. Turns out that Comcast's
webpages don't match what you actually get! MSNBC will cost me an extra $15/month. I think it is time for satellite!

Took several phone calls to Comcast to get an answer, which of course did not answer the question as to why their pages are misleading.

45. THAT IS WHY OLBERMANN HAS NOT TAKEN OVER O'REILLY YET!
This is not the first time I have heard of people have to pay more to get MSNBC. O'Reilly is just cheaper so he gets more air time.

I wish MSNBC would do something to fix this!

7. What about
Charlie Cook saying he's willing to say Dems pick up upwards of 35 seats in the House? And with that would come the Senate.

Whoa.

with that smirking grin on his face.

Now I'm grinning...

43. While I agree with you, I'm also watching the incredible amounts of voter disenfranchisement going
on around the country right now - particularly in Denver,CO, Cuyahoga County, OH, Orange County, CA, Prince Georges County, MD etc.

12. Delay: "It'll be a Lame Duck Majority."
Asshole--already whining about the loss. I'm not counting any chickens yet.

And, fuck you, Tom. Go to jail.

14. I've been watching MSNBC since 6pm.
I'm wondering though, what Keith's purpose is tonight. To me, it seems like Tweety is doing much more "gabbing" and screwing around, while Keith is being his usual professional self, and not doing a great deal of speaking thus far.
I'd much prefer Keith be the "lead" commentator.
Just my two cents.

But is kidding around about how they want AP to break the news first and that they want to be accurate.

and for honest human beings everywhere on this Planet.
At a minimum, we take control of the House.
The way it's shaping up, We're going to take the Senate too.

Thanks for your help Will...and DU'ers Everywhere!

26. Voters got tired of MSNBC portraying Bush as Jesus Christ
so they voted out all of Chimpy's disciples.

34. It almost scares me to hear them talk like this
one of them (can't remember which one) basically said it would be surprising if Democrats take the House that they wouldn't take the Senate.
Makes perfect sense. Why vote for partial change instead of complete change?

"We've seen some alleged reports of voting problems on electronic machines from confused voters, but nothing that could swing results."

Of course they didn't SEE anything that could change the results -- that is the whole POINT!!

What will change the result is the invisible (undetectable) lines of code

46. Keith doing prime time results
I think this fact is one of the tell-tale signs, perhap the empty suits are finally noticing Keith's numbers. Maybe this is also a subtle smack-down for tweety. Just a thought to mull over while enjoying the polling numbers coming in.

Since he suggested it, YES, we s have mandate. And that mandate should include the impeachment of all current govt officials complicit in the wars in the ME.
