Wow. That is really great news to ex-Pennsylvanians. RA!!!

Santorum never saw a defense expenditure he didn't like. Borrow and Spend.

Polls are still closing in California.....

Lincoln Chafee an anti-war Republican gets tossed out

Joe Liberman a super-hawk Democrat wins as an independent after the party faithful boot him out in the primary...


That seems an odd pairing to me. The War is casting a looong shadow over the other races tonight.

Chafee would have won if he hadn't promised his father not to switch parties. Too bad.

I'm happy to see Santorum, Blackwell, and Harris out.

Well, the Democratic and Republican party appartichiks both supported Lieberman. What do you expect?

As a North Carolina native, I still regret that we were never able to defeat Jesse Helms. I always hoped he would be beaten, rather than simply retiring.

Oh yeah! Thank the stars above. No more little dog in tall grass always jumping up to see what everyone else is doing!

Control of the house goes to Dems. They're 2 seats away from control of the senate as well.

Save your pennies, Uncle Sam's coming for em.

Hold me, I'm frightened

Believe me, Uncle Sam isn't coming for MY pennies. I'm not the rich who got all the tax cuts. Why, I might even...uh...BENEFIT!

The dem tax rhetoric is SO old.

There, there. Just because Colorado got a Democrat for Governor and retained its Democratic Congressman, doesn't mean the world is coming to the end. Take comfort in the thought that we voted down gay civil unions, and defined marriage as an institution between a man and a woman only.

Then go into hiding

Jim Ryun received The Kiss of Death when Bush came to Kansas to campaign for him on Sunday.

You'll get a bigger check if you're on welfare. If you pay taxes, though, you will pay more when Democrats have the reins. Wait, that's not entirely true this time around.....Republicans were spending money like drunken sailors. But now the death tax will come back, and my super rich parents will now pay taxes on the money they already paid taxes on when they die. Their financial planner estimated that their estate was worth about $300k before. With the inheritance tax subtracted, it's worth far less. I can't remember the number, but they told me last night that when it was divided amongst the 3 kids, we'd have enough for a downpayment on a modest house each. Thank goodness we have had all that extra ill-gotten gain taken from us and given to government programs. Now YOU can have some of it. Buy me lunch, at least?

Fuck you, noodle. I work hard for my money and have worked hard since I was thirteen fucking years old, having two jobs most of my adult life since college. I'm sorry about your poor rich parents (insert WAHHH here), spoiled little brat, but don't you dare ever talk to me about work, you namby pamby fuck. Sheesh I don't even want to fuck your brains out anymore.
Shit

Oh another thing you goddam idiot...I don't play tax break games or pop out kids to get more than 5 times the taxes I paid in back as a refund. I have paid out every year for the last ten years because I'm smart enough to know tax refunds aren't a fucking savings account, and having a second job makes me pay even MORE taxes.
You asshat.

Yeah, I'll buy you lunch after you suck on my big toe for an hour...dickwad.

What we will see now is gridlock, not control by Democrats.
