1. Anyone who thought they wouldn't wasn't really connecting with reality real well. n/t

[Odin2005]

2. FUUUUUUCK!!!

[RiverStone]

3. margin of error +/- 13 MSNBC

Not looking good for the House - Senate looks very good to stay w/Dems

[pacalo]

4. AP had that headline yesterday -- the day *before* the election.

It ain't over 'til it's over!

[stray cat]

6. And they were right!

[Countdown_3_2_1]

5. I bet they cut funding for Health Care

They have no hope of repealing anything, The President will veto their silly abuses...
BUT. The House controls the purse strings.

If we can keep the senate, we can keep approving judicial appointments and presidential appointees.
The Supreme Court is a single appointment away from a Progressive majority...We NEED to keep the Senate!

[Hawkeye-X]

9. That is actually the best piece of news - it'll be gridlock for the next 2 years and the voters will

have nobody to BLAME but the Thugs and remove them from majority once again in 2012, and extend our Senate hold for another 6 years.

Hawkeye-X

[totodeinhere]

36. Not necessarily. When they took control of the House in 94 they held it

for twelve years. If we have learned anything tonight, it's that predictions at DU are overly optimistic.

[rayofreason]

37. Really?

People could blame the Dems instead. Tricky business, and it will call for a VERY careful playing cards.

[Hawkeye-X]

10. That is actually the best piece of news - it'll be gridlock for the next 2 years and the voters will

have nobody to BLAME but the Thugs and remove them from majority once again in 2012, and extend our Senate hold for another 6 years.

13. Expect a government shutdown over the next budget.

Republicans in the House will refuse to pass what Obama wants, and he will threaten to veto anything they pass. Who blinks?

[niceypoo]

20. Clinton won every budget fight by calling their bluff every time

[awoke_in_2003]

40. "Who blinks?"

Mr. Bi-partisanship.

[okieinpain]

44. well the repugs do have problems. they have promised to cut

spending, but what do you cut. cut entitlements and you're done, I know they will go after social programs, but really how much do they count against the budget. the repugs are between a rock and a bus full of looney toons.

they will try to explain to the teabaggers that they can't just cut everything, and the teabaggers will revolt.

funny stuff in the making.

dems just need to be ready to take advantage of the chaos.

[Fire1]

18. You give em too much credit. These are the same voters

who put W. in for eight years.

[caseymoz]

28. Two more wasted years is not good news.

For bad news, I guess it beats Amending the Constitution to bring back Dubya for a third and fourth term, or accidentally sending nukes to al-Qaeda, but this country can't afford to throw away years like this.

[NBachers]

30. Well, you don't know if it's going to be gridlock

The Democrats are very comfortable as shaking quaking rug-shitting belly-showing chihuahua lap dogs. They may actually, in the spirit of bipartisanship, decide to enable and facilitate everything the repukes are going to do. Good sports, you know.

I voted the full Dem ticket- I can vent if I want.

[awoke_in_2003]

41. Why not?...

they did the same thing when the were the majority party.

[Hawkeye-X]

7. And Boner gets to be Orange Asshole of the next Two Years

before his ass is booted by his voters in Ohio after realizing he's a fucking schmuck.

Dems will win back the House in 2012, and Pelosi won't be the Speaker - someone with GUTS will be....

Hawkeye-X

[MadMaddie]

32. Pelosi has bigger brass ones than Harry does

Harry is a nice guy...but...

Pelosi has passed over 200 bills which are sitting at the Senate's door because Harry can't even get them on the floor....

[jobendorfer]

8. Could the $#)*U#$^s wait until the polls close on the west coast?

We've still got an hour to go here in Oregon.
Doesn't this border on election tampering?

J.

[awoke_in_2003]

42. no...

it has been the same thing every year since elections were televised.

[somone]

11. The Senate Dems should throw every bill they pass in the garbage

upon receipt.

[Warren Stupidity]

29. We suck in power and are piss poor in opposition too.

Don't expect any such solidarity in the senate.

[motorcityliberal]

12. Pissed off

Speechless America has put back in power at least in the house a party that was two years removed from almost causing another great depression.. Those Bill Maher jokes about how dumb the American electorate rings true tonight. China and the special interest are the REAL winners tonight.

[get the red out]

17. I am sick

I see no hope for this fucking country or anyone in it except the rich.

[Haole Girl]

27. I'm sick, too

Really wishing I hadn't eaten that heavy dinner.

:puke:

[FarLeftFist]

14. THIS IS NOT A REPUBLICAN TSUNAMI

This was it for the republicans, they waged a 2yr assault on us and we will still hold the senate AND almost 200 seats

[wmbrew0206]

33. It's just a correction. Without Obama on the ticket, the rethugs are winning a lot

of districts that McCain won but the rethugs lost in the House.

[AsahinaKimi]

15. Republicans want to destroy this country

Looks like they will get their chance.

To The TEA BAGGERS: Jigoku ni ochiro! Shinde kure!

[marasinghe]

23. +1 .... and i'm guessing that's not a blessing from the Chado. :-D (n/t)

[AsahinaKimi]

26. You can google it...

I would rather not translate it.

[bushmeister0]

16. And queue IMPEACHMENT hysteria in 3 ... 2 ... 1 n/t

[rasputin1952]

19. Let's not forget the West...this is just the beginning...

Senate appears safe, (except for that loose cannon Ron Paul), House races are a little different...plenty of time, and I think it won't come close to what they "declare".

WEST COASTERS>>>>Bring us home!!

[alp227]

34. RAND, Ron's son, actually is the new Kentucky Senator n/t

[rasputin1952]

35. Ack...I meant Rand Paul...

:eyes:

[creon]

21. No surprise

I expected to happen, as the economy is in a serious recession, and govts do not do anything about recessions. Even though people know that, they still vote against the party in power.

The GOP is even more incompetent than the Dems, so they will not be able to do anything.

[Bette Noir]

22. Except that the polls haven't closed on the west coast.

Hard to predict the whole House when there are so many races still open.

25. Time to bring Howard Dean back.

Feel like he can make up those 30 in the next election.

[U4ikLefty]

31. Somebody quick, how can we blame Nader?!?

Or the "professional left", or the "purists", or, or, or....

[rayofreason]

38. Circle the wagons...

...and shoot inward!

[U4ikLefty]

39. or point fingers

without looking in the mirror.

[pinniped]

43. Stupid FN Merkans always changing their mindless minds.

Let's give these fucks the opportunity to trash things again. These idiots would probably vote for that shithead Jeb B*sh if the Presidential election was today. Total dumbshits.
