P.S.

Remember 2 things
1) Disagreeing with the President on foreign policy during a time of war is treason.

and

2) The office of the Vice President is a unique position that is not subject to Congressional oversight.

I went to bed last night thinking Blue was the new Red. I was sure that Smith had lost his seat. Now it looks like he’ll hang on. “Though sorrow may last for the night, joy comes with the morning.”

or in its quest to keep power let me stay. Maybe this isn’t an option, but for the sake of the future Ted has to go. Good to see the dems are sore losers and winners, at least they’re consistent.

Does Sarracuda get to pick the replacement?

Dems don’t throw out their own when they get into trouble. They even re-elect them! I say we do the same. We only shoot ourselves in the foot when we don’t.

And it seemed like Obama was going to win big.

I asked for one thing – to see that buffoon in MN go down.

The one bright spot from yesterday.

What are the laws for a recount in MN? The vote is so close I’m sure the comedian will try to “discover” a few new boxes of votes.

they’re always slow here. I think it’s because we’re 100% mail in ballots. The ballots have to be in the drop boxes (like mailboxes) by 8pm. It was like this in 2006 and 2004 (I wasn’t here prior to that). Oregon wasn’t called for Kerry for a while 4 years ago.

Some Faqs:

When are ballots counted?

All ballots are counted on election day – none are counted before. No results can be released until 8:00 p.m. on election night. County election officials may begin preparing ballots for counting no sooner than the Tuesday prior to election day. The ballots are then secured until counted on election day.

When will election results be known?

Ballot counting cannot begin until election day. Initial results are released at 8:00 p.m. election night and will continue to be updated throughout the evening until all ballots have been counted. Visit our web site shortly after 8:00 p.m. election night for updated live election results.

I don’t know why they don’t have the results quicker, seems like they could start counting right away on election day.

As another blog post said, “embrace the wilderness”. This doesn’t mean we should be happy we’re here but it means we need to learn the lessons on the reason(s) we are here and be diligent in addressing those reasons.

W/ that in mind, I think we must “force” Stevens to resign. If we pursue the Demo strategy of backing their own even when they are substantially wrong, we set ourselves on the same rotten path.

Lets come out of this desert experience w/ a new party of real honor and principle. Stevens, Young and others of their ilk (typical of the most appropriators) often represent that which the common person can’t stand – the pay to play appearance, real or otherwise. While I am not proposing ex-communicating hoardes of sitting Rs, I do think we must draw a line w/ convicted members of Congress.

Sorry for the rant,

Nonetheless, I’m happy our Senate losses were kept to a minimum. As for Stevens, I’ll just act like a Democrat, claim he is innocent, and insist that he stay until his appeal is final. Then I want Palin in the Senate breathing down the Democrats’ necks.

Fortunately, and I will have to recheck for the exact numbers, the terrain is very good to retake the Senate (and maybe even the House if Obama overreaches) in 2010.

Stevens was going to win. The only question was by how much.

There are Reasons we have re-elected him every single time. And there are only 3 ways he’s going to be replaced: Dies in office (probably literally, found with his head on his desk); retires; or thrown out by means other than the voters.

He wasn’t guilty of anything and this Farce of a trial was only pursued because they thought they could get him with the splash damage from his son (who, let’s make no mistake, is as guilty as the day is long in Barrow in July).

Maybe I should do a diary on the trial…

Thank God Franken lost. That it was so close is disturbing.

As for Stevens, hopefully he’ll be forced out soon to make room for a competent conservative.
