Looks Like Harry Reid Survived.

[SGMVols]

Damn. At least he can't ram through anything he wants with a Republican controlled House though.

 

[GAVol]

It's tightening up but probably too little too late.

 

[SGMVols]

It's tightening up.

Fox News already called it for Reid. What does that tell you?

 

[JTrainDavis]

Poor selection by the states voters in the primary, the 3 way race jammed it up and the weakest horse came off the rail ahead.

Missed opportunity.

Damn. Yucca's still dead I suppose.

 

[TennTradition]

I think that Yucca is dead, dead. I don't think the ouster of Reid would really even change that. Not sure about the wisdom of that, but it is what it is....

 

[EvanStalcup1990]

for the best Reid is so insignificant just taking a spot.

 

[TennTradition]

I would have liked to see Harry Reid go down...but not to Sharron Angle, really.

The Tea Party definitely didn't attract the best and brightest when they chose candidates in Nevada and Delaware.

I look at it this way. She would be marginalized in the Senate but he still wields influence.

He will not compromise. We would be better off with Schummer IMHO.

Would you really expect more?

I think that the tea party movement fired up a lot of people that ended up helping more traditional Republican candidates than their tea party candidates in other races (because they couldn't really be helped).

msnbc is saying that it was devistating loss for the republicans. they've been praising that victory. it's the only thing they can harp on. the republicans take the house and make gains in the senate but that whore maddow is acting the republicans lost everything.

this will not be too bad for the republicans, the dems still have 2/3 of the power and if things still doesn't improve, 2012 should see more gains by the republicans.

I just can't see how it can be justified to waste all that money that's already been spent...paid for by the nuclear industry (through rate payers). And the nuclear industry needs it. I just don't know where you go from here. Maybe we'll look at reprocessing.

Anyways, Yucca is DEAD with Reid. At least with Angle, there's a shot even if she's bat **** crazy.

Reprocessing won't really reduce the amount of waste from what I understand. I am not totally against reprocessing because, if the proliferation concerns can be reigned in, there is a place for it because our fuel is limited at some level. However, the economics aren't that great, the proliferation problem hasn't gone away yet, and it really isn't a waste reducer.

I completely agree that we must answer the repository question, though. We can't even think about a nuclear "renaissance" without addressing the issue.

was listening to ABC radio news coverage when they announced Harry was going to win, Sam Donaldson was so giddy that I doubt he needed to pop a viagra when he got home.

Looks like a mobbed up Harry Reid stole this one.

Harry Reid Steals Nevada, Wins Amid Widespread Electronic Voter Fraud :

The SEIU represents the voting machine technicians in Clark County (Las Vegas). Sequoia voting machines straight from Venezuela??

The 46: SEIU Visits Venezuela?

Angle was leading by 4% in polls but Reid wins by 5%.

In every other race across the country there is no race that is even close to having such a big swing.

Not as big as the swing pulled off by Chavez (with the help of Jimmy Carter, polls showed Chavez losisng by 20% but after the vote count he won by 20% meaning a 40% swing, this fraud is less that 25% of that in Venezuela but raises more red flags than a big pile up in a NASCAR race.

ConcernedVoter06: Critics chip away at Sequoia's roots: Fears arise because e-voting machine maker's owners are Venezuelan

Anyone who really thinks that Harry Reid received more votes than Sharon Angle deserves a congressional medal of naivete!

And anyone who refuses to accept that an experienced politician (incompetent or no) defeated a crazy haint lacking in as much sanity and composure as Sharron Angle needs to yank the cucumber outta their hindquarters.

Actually, there's way more pressure on the Republicans than there was this time two years ago. They own Congress... the 'party of no' tactic won't work anymore. Now is their time to actually bring solutions to the table instead of roadblocking every Democrat-proposed bill.

How bout both? :dance2:

The had BETTER block anything that comes from the D's, but yes they should come up with ideas. But the D's/Left can't listed to a whole list and go "I see you not suggesting solutions" just because they absolutely do not like what was offered.

perhaps if the democrat leadership had actually allowed the GOP more than token input on major legislation. Reid and Pelosi adopted an "our way or no way" style of leadership and if you didn't play along by their rules, you were marginalized.

it's amazing how people conveniently forget that there was little or nothing the GOP could do to stop legislation, especially in the early months of 2009.

you should stop watching MSNBC, they're among the primary perpetrators of this "party of "no"" nonsense.

 

[droski]

i've never understood why not accepting "my way or the highway" somehow makes you the party of no. it's kind of like complaining a rape victim said no.

 

[IPorange]

I don't usually go around crying voter fraud. I also tend to think that there is a fair amount of fudging that goes on in every election, one way or the other.

But as soon as I heard Reid won, I was scratching my head. It didn't seem very likely.

 

[droski]

the casinos and unions gave their employees the day off to go vote for reid. only counties he won in teh entire state were las vegas and reno. bs

Why?? You want to lick that green thang off??

Speaking of crazy haints that are lacking in sanity and composure!!! lol:

Nazi Pelosi makes Sharon Angle look like Margarette Thatcher.

A complaint was filed with the US justice department about certain casinos busing employees (the 10,000 probable illegal alien new dems registered this year, which was about the margin of victory) to early voting polls (which may have been at secret locations) but we know about how far that will be allowed to go by Eric Holder who didn't even enforce the congress passed mandate to insure that all military absentee ballots would be mailed out in time to be counted, as a matter of fact some states didn't even mail them at all.

Did I once say the D's proposed anything worth a damn? No.

I'm just saying the GOP of the last half decade has been the party of no. What solutions do YOU think they've brought? I wanna hit that crack pipe, please.

I just want an administration that ACTUALLY has an interest in PRODUCTIVE compromise between the parties. People forget that there was a time when this was done, but instead they like accusing folks of wanking it to Rachel Maddow/Sean Hannity and disregard them as extreme left/rightists.

And gs, Pelosi led very poorly, but Sharron Angle is a legitimate nutcase who's a little too high on God. Doesn't matter though, since even Slimey Reid was able to win. You'd think the Tea Party would have groomed better candidates than O'donnel/Angle if they had any interest in taking critical Senate seats.

GUESS NOT!

 

[MG1968]

there was plenty of compromise during the Bush administration, have you forgotten about the Medicare prescription drug program, how about No Child Left Behind, or hey, how about those resolutions that took us to war in Afghanistan and Iraq? You can also include two massive infrastructure spending bills, billions sent to fight malaria and AIDS in Africa.

don't come in here with this crap that there hasn't been bi-partisan cooperation. There was plenty of it through 2006.
