Chambliss wins Georgia
Democrats won’t get their 60-seat senate supermajority after all. Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia won re-election today in a runoff against Democrat Jim Martin. Now all that’s left to settle is the disputed senate race in Minnesota between Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken, and then we can finally put the 2008 election to bed.

Well I did my part to keep the Democrats from having that super-majority. But I didn’t get to see Palin, even though she was here.
Now if we can only keep the rascal Al Franken outa there.

Perhaps they will kick Lieberman to the curb now that he has no use.

HRW, Lieberman–often called a DINO– is the last of the old-style Scoop Jackson Democrats. Sad to see him get the boot.
Without the super-majority will D’s still be able to enact all the OBama agenda or merely a pale watered-down version of it?

. . . the last of the old-style Scoop Jackson Democrats.
There’s still Hillary, who Gen. Petraeus said was the senator who best understands the needs of the military, and there’s Obama, who is only against stupid wars, wants to combine diplomacy with force, and got the vote of everyone in my neighbor’s son’s company at Fort Polk.
Obama campaigned in Connecticut for Lieberman in 2006. Lieberman won’t be kicked to the curb, but Obama may lead him there to urinate submissively.
The reprehensible Chambliss will also be useful, because Obama can count on him to obstruct stupidly and thus turn the Republicans into scapegoats for whatever goes wrong.
For Democrats, the bad part of the Georgia election is that it shows 2008 was an Obama victory more than a Democratic victory, and suggests heavy weather in 2010.

It sure looks like you are turning lemonade into sour grapes. Your man won. Your party won. Cheer up!

Bush got a small majority of the vote in the last election, and Obama got a small majority in this one. This was no “stunning rebuke”, but a small tilt from the center largely due to boredom.
If everyone in Scroop’s friend’s company voted for Obama, they are CLEARLY way out of the mainstream of America. Of course, it’s probably a lie anyway so who cares.
As soon as the Messiah actually tries to enact any of his wacko socialist initiatives, or permits a terror attack on our soil and responds cravenly, the electorate will return to it’s senses.

Scroop sure is in a good mood. Whassa matter Scroopie? Din’t get your sooper majority? Awww.. poor baby. Don’t let that lower lip poke out too far, the dogs might trample on it.
Looks your man Obama is actually appointing long time Republicans for his cabinet posts. There’s another thing you can celebrate Scroop.

If Coleman wins in MN (that means Frankenstein didn’t steal the election) does anyone want to wager whether Harry Reid will deny seating him, based on the manufactured out of whole cloth issue of “counting every vote” ?

” got the vote of everyone in my neighbor’s son’s company at Fort Polk”
An outlier from the seventy percent of active duty miltary who voted for McCain. But if your neighbor’s son or somebody’s college roommate’s second cousin’s neighbor’s coworker said so, it must be true.

I’m just saying what the kid told me. But he probably didn’t literally mean every last person in his company.
Obama got a small majority
The 7% margin is astounding, actually. Consider that no candidate except Reagan in his 1984 reelection ever got the votes of a higher percentage of the American population. With another million or so votes to count, currently 22.62% of the population voted for Obama.
Reagan got the vote of 23.09% of the population in 1984, but with votes still being counted, Obama might pass that total.

7% margin is astounding? You gotta be kidding.
Come on, McCain was bucking a stacked deck. It shouldn’t have been even that close. He was an old white guy, running a bad campaign, against a young first black presidential candidate, after a two term, unpopular white president, during an unpopular war, and then the economy tanked – he shouldn’t have even been a contender! But if things had gone a little differently he might have even won the thing…
I’m not even going to go into the media bias. Reporting the news isn’t the same thing as reporting it objectively….
What’s really astounding is that McCain was that close…

I’m so thankful that one party hasn’t got a stranglehold on the whole political system! It ought to be tough to pass legislation. That’s what checks and balances are all about.

The 7% margin is astounding, actually…. This is horse manure when one reflects on the remark of Managing Editor of Newsweek, Evan Thomas, that the liberal mainstream media is always good for from five to ten points in a general election for Democrats due to its liberal bias. Given his appointments so far, even St. Obama seems to understand that America is a center right country.
The Chambliss election is important. The Republicans can now use the debate cloture skills that they learned so well from the Dems up to 2006.

Do you think the Rs took good notes on effective obstructionism? They sure have lots of examples to analyze.
I wonder if we’ll still hear charges that the party in power should be able to get their agenda done even if the opposition party…opposes. (Somehow, the Democrats’ obstructing was never a valid point when discussing Bush’s failure to implement one of his policy initiatives.)

MIM: McCain was bucking a stacked deck. It shouldn’t have been even that close.
Obama had the longest slog of it:
This is a center-right country.
He’s the most liberal Democrat.
He sat and listened to “G_ d_ America!” for 20 years.
Obama was/is a muslim.
He was born in Africa.
He got his house through corruption.
Obama looks down on people who cling to God and guns.
He will lead America to defeat.
Obama supports terrorists.
He wants to be the redistributor-in-chief.
He threw his grandmother under the bus.
He is only 1/2 black.
Obama couldn’t close the deal with Whites.
He’s an empty suit, without substance.
He’s a Marxist.
He has less executive experience than Sarah Palin.
He’s a spirit of the Anti-Christ, a false messiah.
He defrauded voters by breaking his financing promise.
He’s guilty of infanticide.
Preventing murder is above his pay grade.
Liberal judges.
Michelle wasn’t proud of her country.
She said bad things about America in a college term paper.
