Dat dere President Gee Dubya Bush is sure one heckuva popular fella. And my prediction was that the GOP would use Rudy Guliani as a national spokesman for this election! Looks like they didn't need him...Bush was enough to win support! Besides Ashcroft, I have a lot of respect for his administration, but I still can't believe Bush to be a real figurehead for the GOP. Oh well...I'm more excited/concerned about this 1/2 point rate cut. Who here thinks its time to refinance? Who here is going to refinance for the SECOND time in 1-2 years?
 
I believe this is the first time in history that the party that controls the presidency has gained seats in congress during the mid-term election. Hmmm.... I'm not sure that made sense, but you get the point.
 
Shiner, actually the Repubs own it now since the MO election was a special election to fill out the remainder of Mr. Calahan's term. Talent goes into office immediately.

Don't need to.....bought my house last December and got a 6% rate....can't get much better than that...

 
The Republicans deserved to win. They ran against Republican wannabes. Why not vote for the real thing. It's what I did.
 
Democrates have no idea what being a dem is all about anymore. The party has been hijacked by either wanna be Republicans or way left leaning DecadentCommies who enjoy funding weird sex acts in New York subways and calling it art. The people saw though the first one and simply voted Republican and many are disenfranchised whith the other so sat at home.

Unless they get back to thier core roots; protecting peoples rights (including 2nd amendment) and looking out for the poor but not the lazy I expect more of the same in 2004.

Well, they actually owned it two days ago after Ventura appointed an Indepent to replace Wellstone.

hwhen I was "assisted" in running my ballot throught he reader I was given a strange look by the guy showing me how to work the machine. The ballots were "scantron" fill in the bubble type. It was sorta aranged with republicans on one side, dems on the other, and independants and such in the middle.

My ballot looked like I had been trying to make designs by filling in the bubbles. They were all over the place 😛

Hell no...that guy was....well let's just say I'm usually a hard core Republican and I didn't vote for him. I voted for the Independent. Doesn't matter much since the Gov here is more or less just a figurehead. Except for two years the Democrats have always controlled the state legislature here and that's where the REAL power resides and that's the reason this state is the mess it is. The bunch in power now is absolutely spend crazy. They seem to have no concept that just throwing money at the problem won't make it go away. Still our Democrats here are better than the ones nationally. In most other places our Democrats would be considered Republicans except for the tax and spend attitude they have.

Ya and it did'nt help Huffington in Ca either. These are called outliers, generally you need to spend a lot of money to win a seat, the more you spend the better your chances in general.

He was so bitter last night he wouldnt concede, what a pain in the ass. I guess Id be bitter too if I wasted 10% of my net worth($60million of $600million).

People(the democrats) are saying Texas is swaying democrat, are just fricking wrong. The republicans are one step further to controlling the whole state. They claimed control of the State House, first time in 130 years, and all the state wide elections. One step at a time, it wasnt long ago, the democrats had a 50 year strangle hold on almost every statewide race except for US Senate.
