WaPo recalled the Cardin win but I don’t see others doing it. Still feel strong about it.
Finally Heath Shuler won something for me.
DEMOCRATS WIN THE HOUSE. REPEAT: DEMOCRATS WIN THE HOUSE. HAIL TO THE DEMOCRATS.
Jennifer Granholm keeps her seat, thank you Michigan.
Down goes Chaffee. Sheldon Whitehouse is the Democratic senator from Rhode Island.
Martin O’Malley is the next governor of the great state of Maryland. HALLELUJAH.
The black Democrats win. The black Republicans lose. That is life.
Deval Patrick wins governor of MA.
EAT IT MICHAEL STEELE. EAT IT HARD.
MSNBC, CNN, FOX calls Maryland for… CARDIN.
Ford looks like toast, however.
Down goes Man On Dog Santorum.
Down goes Tom Kean.
Strickland wins – go black Republicans!
The battle continues. 15 seats is a win. No matter how it is spun from the right that would be a win. Anything that puts Dems in control is a win. Period.
You won’t believe this, but on Raw Story they are reporting that FOX NEWS is reporting that exit polling shows Dems picking up 6 Senate seats.
They won’t say which because they don’t want to effect voter turnout.

It’s too bad about Kean as Menendez is a crook who oversees one of the most corrupt counties in the country. Unless Lautenberg decides to be a lifer, expect Kean to be back strong in 2008.
So do you have an opinion on the MD race ?
Of course not, he just needs to vent about an unrelated topic to make himself feel better. Yeah, Hedley, Menendez is a Crook. Also he’s a vandal who somehow duplicated the keys to Kean’s office just to break them off in the locks instead of just shoving gum in them. Also he rapes kittens.
Glad Steele’s going down though, freaking nimrod that he was. Guess that Tyson/King Rapist/Killer support never really materialized
Not much for subtlety are you, O.W.?
But I’ll join in.
FUCK YEAH!!!!!
Subtelty is for lo-sahs.
Rex, you really have a stinger for those keys. Keep forgetting the padlocks though. I forgot, Kean’s father did that. In any event the U.S. Attorney for NJ can add the issue to the ongoing investigation of Menendez. I don’t recall seeing anything in the papers about Menendez and kittens, but I will take your word for it.
Not being from MD, however, I really don’t have an opinion on either candidate. Of course, it doesn’t matter anyway as the race has been called.
OW..
If the Democrats have a good night, tonight, it will be despite your whining over the past year that Democrats did not have a clue.
I told you why you were wrong. You emailed me to explain myself. I did.
It’s too early tonight to tell you “I told you so.”
You lacked faith that the American people would do the right thing.
JK
If we had a clue, this would have been a major league tsunami.
Rex, you really have a stinger for those keys. Keep forgetting the padlocks though.
Jesus Herman Christ, are you actually under the impressoin that the use of padlocks proves democratic involvement? As though the hardware store will only sell them to democrats? Do you know something you arent saying about New Jersey Padlock Law? Is there any reason you refuse to acknowledge even the possibility that maybe, just fucking maybe, THEY BOUGHT THE DAMN THINGS THEMSELVES IN ORDER TO BLAME THE DEMOCRATS!?!
And yeah, I’m basing my whole this is a fake show thing on the fact that it was the office keys broken off in the locks. Theres no reasonable way Menendez’s people would have gotten them, much less some random group of his supporters, that wouldnt have been trumped by just a damn pack of gum. You ask how I explain the Padlocks as though they’re so damn hard to come by, and I think I’ve done that. So tell me dipshit, how do you explain the keys?
Listen, I think we need to talk more about Jeri Ryan. I think you jumped the shark tonight Oliver in your selecting Legal Jeri over Star Trek Jeri.
Deep breath, Rex. The crook won.
Youre just going to keep saying that with no fucking proof as though it means anything arent you. Cant address the issue, cant back up your claim, just keep saying it to make yourself feel better. Eat dick.
Rex, they have this thing now called Google. Type in “Menendez” and “investigation” and learn something. Check out the history of Hudson County while you are at it.
Between you fascination with kittens and your eating habits, maybe you have bigger issues then keys and padlocks.
Robocalling to intimidate Democratic voters in Virginia isn’t going anywhere. Since that race looks like it’s going to a recount, there’ll be plenty of attention on the links between the Allen campaign and the illegal attempts to deprive people of their right to vote in Virginia.
Rex, Hedley’s just mad because it’s not politically correct for a Bush lapdog to care about the half-million Iraqis who are dead because of Bush. Hedley has to vent that anger somewhere — why not at some padlocks?
Hedley, you lost, get over it. Eat your sour grapes bitch. Six more years of Menendez. Deal with it, the voters rejected Kean.
BTW where’s Marty? I was wondering how the “year of the Black Republican”. Didn’t Lynn Swann and Michael Steele win?
Congratulations to Oliver and all the other folks whose people won. All my picks are in – finally.
Now when everyone gets up tomorrow they can get the Hell to work and fix this damned mess!
No fact, but a muslim democrat black man supported by CAIR who is calling for the withdrawal of US troops won in Minnesota…it’s a great day for america eh?
Dead silence about ol’e ned lamont though…Funny, a pro war connecticut senator wins, and an anti-war rhode island senator loses…weird huh?
Dr. I give you credit. I think you may be the only lib outside of our host who doesn’t curse in order to make his point. Rex and Factcheck could take a lesson from you. Of course your point about my alleged “anger” is comical and your Iraqi body count grossly inflated.
Factcheck, I didn’t lose, I wasn’t running. Kean lost. I merely commented that his loss was a shame when Rex interjected with his love for kittens and male genitals. And it won’t necessarily be 6 more years of Menendez. Wouldn’t be the first time a Dem Senator from NJ had his term involuntarily cut short.
It certainly does appear that congratulations are in order for the House Dems. Not so much in the Senate, though.
Now the fun begins.
Oh, and Steele won’t concede. Too funny.
Well, Hedley New Jersey voters didn’t believe the lies of the Kean campaign, which you evidently lapped up like milk. Maybe we’re just a little smarter than you. Try not to be such a sore loser, it really doesn’t become you.
Hedley, what exactly makes you think I’m interested in any “credit” from a twisted, corpse-denying ghoul like you? Inflated? Come back when you have numbers that aren’t imaginary. In the meantime, I’ll stick with the estimates of social scientists instead of Dick Cheney and Powerline.
Dismissing half a million dead Iraqis cause it’s not politically correct?
That is the definition of evil, Hedley. See a shrink or a pastor, please.
Btw, hedley, if Menendez were to leave the Senate- oh look, who will appoint the new Senator? Democrat John Corzine! You know, if you want to complain you really should start winning some elections.
Bye bye Curt Weldon!!! Woot Woot!
Three more. Come on baby, come on….
Actually Factcheck, had Corzine appointed Codey, the former Dem Acting Gov. after the McGreevey fiasco, as he should have instead of a corrupt party boss, I might even had voted for him. Still I ahve won plenty of elections, 2000 and 2004 most recently. Looking forward to 2008.
And Dr., “corpse-denying ghoul”? Maybe I gave you too much credit. And since I have never commented on the Iraqi death toll other than to say that your numbers are inflated, you have no clue what I think or feel.
Alright Hedley, I did a google news search for Menendez and Investigation and heres the first result I got:
CNN Blames GOP for ‘Dirty Race’ in New Jersey about how Kean’s campaign has basically centered on accusing Menendez of being under investigation for one alleged issue of corruption. Nothing’s been proven yet, and you may like to know that here in America, we have what is called a court system. And this court system operates on the principle of innocent until proven guilty. Can you prove he’s guilty? Again, can you back up any of your absurd claims that youre making just to be able to deflect the issue of what frankly seems to be an obvious case of Kean’s campaign trying to come up with something else to accuse him of on the day of the election that also has no evidence to link him to it. May as well accuse him of the kitten rape already, sure you cant actually prove it but it has to be true. Oh, also he shot JFK. Hell he shot Lincoln too. He’s a democrat (and has a mexican name) so he must be a criminal, no?
I think you bought into a politically-motivated critique of the best estimate availible because it conflicted with what’s PC to admit. Half a million people died for Bush’s gamble. Now your support for that gamble has led you to deny their deaths. What do you want that to say about you, Hedley? That you’re independent-minded? I think you’re just like every other GOPer with their head stuck in the grave/ground.
Playing the race card now Rex? And you may like to know that here in America we have U.S. Attorneys throughout the land. One in particular is investigating Menendez. Should be fun to watch.
Sure hedley, what you can’t win at the polls you use the courts to win. BTW Menendez is NOT under federal investigation. Never was.
Too funny, Dr. So your definition of “independent-minded” is anyone who agrees with you. Seems to be plenty of legitimate debate over the best estimate of those who have died in Iraq.
Sure factcheck, every news outlet in NY/NJ says he is under investigation, but yo uknow better. We shall see who is right soon enough.
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!
Hedley, if you don’t believe the Lancet report re Iraqi casualties, point out the inconsistencies or give a better estimate based on some research. It is not a perfect estimate – hell, the confidence interval is roughly 450k-900k – but if you’ve got nothing more to offer than shut your pie hole.
A long night for SoreHedleyman.
Sore? Hardly. I am genuinely looking forward to the next 2 years to see what the Dems can do with this opportunity. Is it going to be more of “We Hate Bush” 24/7? Or, will the Dems make a genuine attempt to set a reasonable bipartisan agenda? Should be an interesting ride.
Hey, what happened to the republican vote rigging? Diebold?
Sort of like a war for oil eh? We won, but no oil. The “rethugs” rig all these elections but still lose…what up wit dat?
Anyway, congratulations on the house win…Now you have to prove your ideas have merit…or that you have any ideas at all.
Looking forward to that! And then to the inevitable in 2008 after America has seen the democratic “leadership: in action…….
Unfortunately, after watching ken mehlman on cnn, I’m guessing he knows something we don’t. I’ll bet we wake up tomorrow and diebold has delivered maryland to steele.
z adura, the Lancet report is highly disputed given its door-to-door origins. There are other studies out there, the Iraq Body Count, for instance. It is probably impossible to know the actual number, particularly since most of the deaths have been at the hands of the Iraqis.
“…after America has seen the democratic “leadership: in action…….”
I guess we pretty much know what they think about Republican leadership, eh, pedro?
Congratulations to the Democrats in the OW community on your impressive national victory. You have earned your celebration.
Is it going to be more of “We Hate Bush” 24/7? Or, will the Dems make a genuine attempt to set a reasonable bipartisan agenda? Should be an interesting ride.
First order of biz is to reinstate the Ethics Committee and subpoena a few administration officials.
That would be the stuff the GOP DIDN’T do.
Hedley and pedugger can get together for potluck dinners and drown their sorrows in Scotch. As long as Dugger doesn’t drink it all first.
This is why I like a good election.
SUCK IT DOWN GOP SUCK IT RIGHT DOWN
Pedro,
And then to the inevitable in 2008…
You should start repeating this so you get used to hearing it again:
President Clinton
President Clinton
President Clinton
Oh man nihilistic, you just gave me something to dream about! How much fun would it be to pummel hillary for another couple of years!
And Paul, we have had over a decade of republican control. The democrats have had the luxury of sitting back and grousing about things without any responsibility. Now it is time to actually DO something, then stand up and be accountable for the result. I don’t think they will do well, and then the American people will have a clear choice when the big enchilada comes up in ‘08….
The democrats have had the luxury of sitting back and grousing about things without any responsibility.
Yeah, cause the republicans have been actively taking responsibility for everything lately and certainly not blaming any military failures in Iraq on critics of the administration and… you know what, I know you’re full of shit. You know you’re full of shit. Everyone knows you’re full of shit. Nostradamus wrote books of quatrains predicting with uncanny preciscion how full of shit you are. I cant even be bothered to argue.
As far as 08 though, you think this is where the anti-republican sentiment ends? You think after six years of them getting their way on basically everything and the country suffering as a result, that the failure of any further catastrophies to occur while the democrats obscruct as best as they can wont reflect well on the left?
Hot damn I’m glad about last night. Still peeved at Leiberbitch though.
pedugger
Take a lesson from Rory and be a graceful fucking loser.
You’re shocked that the entire American nation did not robotically vote for The Decider. Get over it.
Listen to the message conveyed by millions yesterday.
“The democrats have had the luxury of sitting back and grousing about things without any responsibility.”
HIlarious, pedro. Just hilarious. This election is a total repudiation of that rule. The modern GOP showed itself for what it was: The Party of Incompetent Ideologues.
It took awhile for the majority of Americans to catch on, but they did. The Republican leadership was roundly rejected by the American people yesterday. Good riddance.
So your definition of “independent-minded” is anyone who agrees with you.
Much the same way your definition of “treasonous terrorist appeaser” is anyone who disagrees with you.
Oh, and before I forget, one more thing.
Doubt Hedley will be back, but for the record…
“There are other studies out there, the Iraq Body Count, for instance.”
The Iraq Body Count is an ongoing tally of all deaths in Iraq that get reported in english-language press. That’s all. It’s not an attempt to know anything more than that. If you want to study Iraqi mortality, you have to do the method that the Johns Hopkins survey remains our best guess, and that guess is that somewhere between 392,000 and 942,000 Iraqis died as a result of our invasion and occupation.
“It is probably impossible to know the actual number, particularly since most of the deaths have been at the hands of the Iraqis.”
Ah, the sound of surrender.
The precise number? Yes, that is “probably impossible.” It’s also irrelevant to the issue at hand, which is that science’s best estimate is that we’re responsible for creating a situation in which half a million Iraqis have died. I know that conclusion is incovenient and politically incorrect for you, but you’re going to have to accept it if you have any integrity, Hedley.
By the way, did you have these qualms about the equally-horrible-but-less-politically-inconvenient-for-Bush Darfur studies, Hedley?
No Dr. still here. Sorry to disappoint. Clearly we disagree . I guess I’m just not “independent-minded” if I don’t agree with you. How will I sleep tonight?
As for Darfur, I would have no problem supporting military intervention to halt the genocide there that I see having no equivalence to Iraq. Are we allowed to use the word “genocide” yet in the UN?
Disagreements where one side has facts and logic and the other does not are not worthy of the term. You have a political affiliation, and I have the truth. I don’t know how you sleep, but I do wonder how Bush does, knowing that there are 600,000 Iraqis waiting for him in the afterlife.
One significant difference between Darfur and Iraq is that we didn’t unleash the chaos in Darfur, so we’re not responsible in the same way. Nor are some of us politically obligated to pretend that the dead don’t exist, as you do, Hedley.
