Not bad for an electric car!

What are the odds, and the historical precedents, for one party gaining in congress THREE times in a row?

That is what I thought, that they were special elections, but I wanted to make sure.

Doesn't that skew the whole idea of a statewide race? Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:21:48 +0000 http://www.demconwatchblog.com/2008/11/senate-races2010.html#IDComment11100743 http://www.demconwatchblog.com/2008/11/for-posteritys-sake.html#IDComment10722216 Pawlenty is a rather rational republican. I am torn between wanting Palin to take charge of the republican party and keep them from regaining power for another god only knows how long, and pawlenty taking charge and leading the GOP back towards the folds of reason and reality. The thing is, I know that know matter what, history shows that sooner or later power will swing back their way, and I would feel better knowing that when it does that we don't have to put up with the insanity of the far right.

Does that put us dems at a disadvantage because we have more open seats to defend? I don't know enough about gubernatorial races to know.

I really don't like Lingle from what I have read about her.

I feel like we need people like him in powerful positions in the MSM more then we need them anywhere else. IMO of course.

Plug me into the minority if you want, I don't mind that, but at least if you are going to attack someone do so with a half way credible argument. BTW, if your idea of hunting is shooting wolves out of a helicopter, then YOU my friend just might be in the minority.

I think that she is the future of the parties further destruction and collapse in on itself. She is beloved, idol-worshiped almost, by a huge faction of the hard line social conservatives, and she is not going away. I think that there is going to be a schism in the GOP and the part that wants to go farther right (god forbid!) is going to rally around her and go to all out war with the part that wants to pull their head out forth from their ass and go to the middle. I also agree, there is nothing likable about sarah palin to me.

I think Reid said it in the most diplomatic way he could.

How could he possible stay after that?
