Yeah....that Corker is a real moron.

Grew up middle class. Graduated Tyner High School. Self made multi-millionaire.

Obama will get him for his sins.

Here's an idea. Tie a rope around your neck real tight until I write something you agree with. If you survive long enough to see something you do agree with, pass me the rope.

Virginia - Well, I guess we can write this open Republican seat off to the Dems...Warner(D) up big over Gilmore(R). (seat open, formerly held by R).

Made my night seeing Gilmore get kicked in the teeth the way he did.

It is truly scary that Stevens might win Alaska...but I'm not worried anymore...the Rs have 40 seats, and Lieberman will give them 41 - that's all I wanted....regardless of the other races.

Looks like at best they fall one short, my guess is two and they will kick Liberman to the curb so three short of 60.

I can also sleep well knowing Indiana is about to be a blue state. Don't believe me? Look at the numbers

Obama - 1,335,442 - 50%
McCain - 1,318,698 - 49%

99% precincts reporting
------------------------------
Also, North Caroling is turning a nice shade of blue

Obama - 2,100,799 - 50%
McCain - 2,088,312 - 49%

99% precincts reporting

I bet the Dems fear they are going to have to kick themselves for not fielding a legitimate candidate in Minnesota.

I don't know if it will really end up meaning much, Hat. Had McConnell lost...then I think the Minnesota race would be crucial....but at this point, I'm not sure it will really matter.

How air-tight is the caucus in the Senate when it comes to motions for cloture? I imagine that it is a line you don't cross...but I'm not sure. If that is the case, then 60 iron-clad votes is very important...and with McConnell's win it isn't happening.

I'll agree with that. Franken is down 43-41 in Minn., and as much as I like Franken as a comedy writer, and satirist, he really, at least in my eyes, was a little unprepared. The only real saving grace for him is that the more Democratic counties in the state haven't totaled up the votes yet. I hope he wins, but he's down by 40,000 votes at this point

It may not have gotten them to 60, but there's no reason to waste an opportunity to add a seat in a heavily democratic year by nominating a clown.

Fair point...especially in a seat that is for 6 years. A lot can change in 6 years.
