Predictions:
1) Y’all are kidding yourselves that this matters
2) The troops will continue to die unabated
3) The commander-in-chief will ignore the House
(All you have done is give GW an out now)
4) Dems will avoid a Constitutional Crises, Article II war
at all costs (ie, Dems = Cowards with a big ‘C’)
The more things change, the more they stay the same. And be careful what you wish for.

CNN is showing that Webb is up by about 2500 votes over Allen. 99% reporting. This will probably end up in a recount.

I’m not sure…but I’m thinking that maybe I’m a bit uncomfortable with “Nancy Pelosi” and “sugar cave” both in the same sentence…but maybe this Margaritaville tequila (cheapest available that comes in glass in sizes more than a liter) is making her look…
Ok…never mind…er…go Webb! What’s the matter with Virginia? Why is this a nailbiter? I don’t think Allen could even win in Texas.
Ah, I’m sad for the Kinkstah…I think I’ll play The Ballad of Charles Joseph Whitman a few times to soothe the pain. Hmm…any relation to Marshall Whitman?

Nice victory speech, Allen…welcome to recount hell.
The Dems, with their majority in the House, will now in effect start the dismantaling of America. They WILL pull our troops out of Iraq. They WILL invite attacks here on American soil, and they WILL more then likely, start Impeachment hearing on President Bush. Not to metion they will also in effect, grind our Government to a halt.
Great.
The only good that will come out of this, is that they will have NO chance in ’08 or ever again, at least in my lifetime and I’m 43.
Truly a sad day for America, and I’m not ashamed to say that right now, I’m sheading tears. Nothing good will come out of this, so I hope that all Americans who voted Democrat will remember what will happen from here on out and never forget.

I’m watching this incredible Republican shill on CNN right now. She’s trying to make the case that this election wasn’t a setback for the conservative movement because so many of the Dem candidates this cycle were conservative… one of her main examples being Sherrod Brown, who’s about as conservative as Ted Kennedy. She went on to say she expects Bush to be conciliatory and reach out to Dems… “just as he’s reached out on many occasions with respect to the Iraq war.” I almost lost it. Apparently anyone who wins an election automatically becomes a conservative.

Actually, I own a number of semi-automatic “assault weapons” ( Bought before 94 ban)
They have between them Folding stocks, pistol grips, Bayonet mount, Flash suppressors and 30 round clips.
Of course Andrew the spelling of arse indicates that you are in England where they arrest farmers for defending themselves with a firearm against criminals who breaking into their home and threatening them.
62.
Andrew
We’re quite content with our billy clubs and non-existent firearms murders.
You cowards shit your trousers over 3000 dead Americans in 9/11 and 150,000 have been killed by firearms since then.
Johnson’s desire to be armed is a view held by about 20 percent of police officers in the United Kingdom, according to a nationwide survey of officers in 2003. Right now about 6,000 of the approximately 142,000 policemen in the country are armed. A spokesman for the Police Federation, which represents all police officers, said the union wants to double that number. And even the Home Office minister, who oversees police affairs, told the BBC that he believed more armed officers were needed.
[Between 1997 and 2003] crimes with [banned firearms] have more than doubled…. In 2002, for the fourth consecutive year, gun crime in England and Wales rose — by 35 percent for all firearms, and by a whopping 46 percent for the banned handguns. Nearly 10,000 firearms offenses were committed….
Clearly since the ban criminals have not found it difficult to get guns and the balance has not shifted in the interest of public safety….
In the four years from 1997 to 2001 the rate of violent crime more than doubled. The UK murder rate for 2002 was the highest for a century….
A recent study of all the countries of western Europe has found that in 2001 Britain had the worst record for killings, violence and burglary, and its citizens had one of the highest risks in the industrialized world of becoming victims of crime….
64.
Andrew
10,000 offenses? That’s like a bad weekend in Los Angeles.
I’m notapussy like you Americans seem to be. Why don’t you go and eat your bowls of doughnuts and shoot your cowboy pistols.
Support for reasonable gun-safety laws is the majority position in America. Though PollingReport.com lists no polls about gun control conducted since 2004, it shows that the Gallup poll has consistently found support for “more strict” gun laws to be in the mid-50s to high-60s going back to 1990. Those who think laws should be “less strict” have not exceeded 12 percent in any Gallup poll in that time.

Paul L., I think most of us are just looking for some small injection of reality, common sense and a modicum of integrity into Capitol Hill at this point. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for. Maybe it’s not a sure thing at this point, but we sure weren’t going to get any with the Republicans still in charge. Do I favor gun-control? Maybe in some places and not in others. I don’t personally like guns, but I would leave it up to the States since it does not appear to be a “one-size fits all” matter. I WOULD prefer someone take YOURS away if you walk around with that mammoth-sized chip on your shoulder all the time…but maybe that’s just on on-line thing.

Consider your weapons safe from the likes of me. IF the majority of voter’s in your State decided, in an Officially sanctioned State election, that you can/can’t have guns I would have to be OK with that decision, either way. You shouldn’t feel so threatened all of the time…it’s really bad for your head.
