Watching crazy Charlie Cook on Cspan

[montanacowboy]

Saying that if the Dems think this was a mandate they are "CRAZY"

also, that no one voted FOR the Dems, only AGAINST THE GOP!

KNOW WHAT CHARLIE? I THINK YOU ARE CRAZY

1. I think it's a bigger insult to say someone lost because everyone

voted against them rather than for the other person/party. That must mean that they left a big stink where ever they went.

2. In a battle, the side that controls the battlefield are the winners.

The House, Senate and governorships were the battlefield and the Democrats now have a majority while not losing a single seat. We control the battlefield. We won.

3. I'm glad the DEM's won....

I work hard for our locals....but Charlie is right. This is not a business as usual election and the DEM's had better be straight on that. We need serious action as soon as possible. The reforms we need to do are many and they need to start yesterday.

4. well, 1994 was just like it

and no mandate ever came out of that election either, did it.

Yes, this is a mandate. To do the opposite of the Republican 'ideas', of course.

5. We have a mandate and a lot of "political capital" to spend...

And...............

MONTANA ROCKS!:toast:

6. Charlie is correct... this was as anti-incumbent as 1994

I have no problem with that. The word mandate is thrown around by pundits without much meaning. Who has the POWER now is what it's all about.
