i'm going to call it right now for one huge reason...
there are a few that the reps could still win and technically control the senate but heres the x factor... Lieberman is a democrat, but is technically one of the independant candidates.. and the other one is the "socialist" which is clearly just a radical democrat.. slo he'll side with them.. which gives the democrats still 2 more seats..

We also control the house.. we are terrific.
I can't wait till this blows up in their face. Its a sad day when a Senator loses his seat who has a 62% approval rating in his state, all because they hate Bush. Oh, this is gonna backfire.
THE DEBATE IS OVER...

apparently not, considering that two of them won seats in the senate...
"The Nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools."
For the record, Rev_Kyle, independent candidates siding with the dems on voting doesn't = control of the Senate. It's the party that actually has the largest official number that gets to name committee members, which is why control is such a big deal. But I happen to think you're right - Dems definitely have the Senate.
These elections were won by the Dems because of Bush. I can't say I like Bush, but I don't hate him; he's ok. But these just ended up being referendums on Bush. And Bush lost.
Children, this is what happens to hockey players, druggies, and Hillary Clinton.

Actually without the 2 independents the democrats wouldn't have a majority.
But both of those indies will caucus with the dems. What that means is that they will be at the meeting to pick who will head each committee and whatnot.
The will cast their vote for the senate majority leader.
Well LIeberman barely coutns as an independant, he's just a cranky democrat. Meaning dems have 50, republicans have 49. WHen the independant voted republican, its a tie, and cheney breaks it, so it will fall republican, but if he votes democrat then its a majority and dems win it. Since he's from vermont, he's most likely going ot be voting dsemocrat most of the time.

Might as well give it to the dems.
However, Lieberman sides with the Republicans on Iraq.

I could handle that if he were more socially liberal... though I havent researched his views so I dont know.

Lieberman supports the PMRC, supports the "Blame Videogames First" camp, and is a DINO (Democrat In Name Only). The only way you could make him more socially conservative would be to put him in a blender with Newt Gingrich and Tipper Gore.

Wow, so the Dems have control of the Senate and the House. Congratulations, this gives them 2 years to mess things up and sway the voters back to elect a Republican in the White House and take control of House and Senate.

Even if we did, the american public gave the republicans 6 years to do far worse.. so I figure we'd have a few more years..

Hey, let's give them a shot. Who knows, maybe they'll come up with something cool.
Then again, given their recent inability to wipe their collective ass, maybe not.

Reverend, I will not waste too many words on you. I've read the majority of your bullshit on here. You have been put through the ringers by Dogdoc. You make about as much sense as my 3 year old. 3 year old DOG that is. His name is Winston.

Rap music is being listened to by 97% of teenagers, if you're one of the 3% of teenagers that actually listen to real music, then put this in your signature.
