Thinking you mean one branch down unless Alito just joined the ACLU
Yeah, I’m clearly an idiot.
Macaca boy’s finally got round to conceding.
And I have to say, I did not expect this. I thought the GOP would keep the upper house by the skin of their teeth, but it’s a clean damn sweep. It’s a landslide. It’s 1997 once again. It’s “a metorite hitting the Earth, obliterating all life”, as Anthony King said.
Landslide? What the bloody hell are you talking about. It just barely made the average of a second term president’s loss in the House and the Senate.
Yes, the house and Senate changed hands- huge impact and congrats are in order. hardly a landslide. (In fact- actually may help the next Republican presidential candidate. The next two years will be very interesting.)
And 1997? I guess you’ll have to explain why that one excites you in the ‘landslide’ department Duros.
So Oliver- You got your wish. Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker Pelosi are now the face of the Democratic party that everyone will be watching.
Say it over an over until it sinks in.
(Now tell me which Democrats would you really like to see in those positions. I’m sure you have your “druthers.”)
You got raped. Accept it. Do what John Major did, take it with grace.
Also I’m not Duros. And okay, it’s not as big a landslide as 1997, but it feels similar, and may well have a similar impact.
Landslide? What the bloody hell are you talking about. It just barely made the average of a second term president’s loss in the House and the Senate.
Ha. Mr. “you’re-just-repeating-the-talking-points” is caught distributing taffy. Read ‘em and weep:
Don’t believe everything Mehlman says, Marts.
You do bring up an interesting question, though.
In the post-Watergate midterms, the GOP lost 48 seats. So the question is: Was this year’s defeat as bad as the post-Watergate thrashing? Or only nearly so?
Wow- so if you don’t count the rest of the century when Roosevelt lost 72 (and then another 45) and Truman lost 34, and the Kennedy/Johnson team lost 48, (Though I realze technically it wasn’t Johnson’s second term) then I suppose your talking point from Talking Points Memo
works out.
Thank’s Josh Marshall!
Dude, somebody call me?
so if you don’t count the rest of the century when Roosevelt lost 72 (and then another 45) and Truman lost 34,
Wait. You’re going back to when? The 1940s?
Dude, things have changed! Your people haven’t been gaming the districts for fun.
And “second-term” was your call. Neither Kennedy nor Johnson had a second term.
