JohnDeere 0 #76 January 20, 2010 Quote It was a wake up call to the Democrats not to take things for granted. If that is all that the dems learn from this than they have bigger issues than i thought Quote This still wasn't a landslide Were not talking about Texas here It was everything but a landslide! Quote if Coakley had campaigned better, asked for more help, She had the POTUS fly in for for her!!!!!!! Get real if you think she didnt get ALOT of help to try and win this. Quote I doubt you can count on that happening again. Hold onto your hat! You will learn a thing or two (well you will be showed a thing or two and make more excuses).Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TankBuster 0 #77 January 20, 2010 I've been watching the demographics of likely voters and a large number identify themselves as independent. They are the one who swayed this election., Apparently fed up with the radical nature of the bullshit going on in the Senate right now. Hopefully most of the Dems will see this as an indication of their chances of re election, and will shift away from HIS MAJESTY'S agenda appropriatly. But, the hard core socialist radicals will still try to push this crap through, so shennanigans may still follow. In any case, Ted K's ghost and I will hoist anoter whiskey. Actually, I'm kickin him out. He's drinkin all my stash. But heres to you Ted!The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #79 January 20, 2010 Quote Quote Quote Quote She just conceded Man, Coakley is right up there with Palin in the amount of fail on this. It was hers to lose and somehow, she managed to. That's just pathetic. You think she alone lost this race?That is some funny shit there! Just wait until the end of the year. People are sick of the liberal agenda! You will see some of your boys heads a rollin! Independents will be heard It was a wake up call to the Democrats not to take things for granted. This still wasn't a landslide and if Coakley had campaigned better, asked for more help, hadn't taken pretty much the month of December off to go on vacation . . . yeah, she did lose it because she assumed she'd just waltz in and win. I doubt you can count on that happening again. Hard to have a landslide in a state where registered democrats outnumber republicans by 3 to 1. Coakley had a lousy campaign, and her gaffes near the end proved her so far out of touch that I'm surprised people were able to hold their nose to vote for her. I hope Brown will serve well, but this seat is up again for election in November right? So, I'm not going to get over excited, just enough though...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Gawain 0 #80 January 20, 2010 Quote Quote Power to da people!!!! (esp. the independents!) Then I'm confused because it wasn't an independent that won. Are you guys even sure you know who won or are only concerned with the fact that a Democrat lost? http://www.kansascity.com/stargazing/story/1693812.html I will say this, the Republican party does seem to love its beauty queens. 1982 Paul....1982... Better taste than lies like, "I didn't inhale" or "No revolving door for lobbyists"...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

mnealtx 0 #88 January 20, 2010 It appears that, even were the healthcare vote to be held tomorrow, that interim Senator Kirk could not cast a vote: Link Snippage (Senate report regarding interim Senator Berry, TN): QuoteThe Senate subcommittee and committee concluded, based on its hearing and review, that “the term of service of a Senator appointed to fill a vacancy in an unexpired term ends on the day when his successor is elected by the people.” 1939 Congressional Record, p. 998. There was evidently no controversy among either the subcommittee or full committee regarding this legal conclusion, and the committee then presented a resolution to the Senate for adoption, expressing the view that Berry’s term of service expired on November 8, 1938, the date of the special election. As Senator Connally, a member of the subcommittee, explained to the Senate, the fact that the Tennessee statute purported to extend Berry’s term until the qualification of his successor was of no force because the statute was “plainly in conflict with the provisions of the seventeenth amendment.” Accordingly, the Senate adopted the proposed resolution without dissent. 1939 Congressional Record, p. 1058.

Palin joined a hopeless campaign that couldn't have one with Jesus on the ticket. McCain hopes he could somehow score some Clinton supporters with a female veep, it didn't work. But by no means did she blow the election for him or her party. It was lost before it even started. If you wanted a proper analogy, it was Gore in 2000. Coakley came in as the candidate for the incumbent party in a blue as it ever gets state, replacing a long long long tenured Kennedy. Barbara Boxer never it had it that easy (and perhaps for the first time, she'll face a viable candidate). Losing by 7 points is a landslide. How bad could things get if the GOP starts to stand for something again, rather than merely being "anything but?" This defeat beats out USC getting trashed by Stanfurd in LA a couple months ago. Palin losing is like Stanfurd losing to Cal for the 7th time in 8 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites quade 3 #96 January 20, 2010 7 points?
