Election Predictions

CNN now projects Democrats to take control of the House...........

Helllllooooooooo Nancy.............:eek:








:D

Oy!


:D

Just checked FOX news.....they aren't making the call yet....... :eek:

I predicted the House goes to the dems and Reps hang on to the senate....we'll see.

However....keep in mind there is a wildcard in the mix now. Joe Lieberman ran and won as an independant, and he has already said he will go along with the dems.....

Interesting..... Daniel Ortega won in Nicaragua. Remember the Contra affair?

Oooh the timing. :D

Edit: Forgot the link.

As of this writing the House is blue and the Senate is 2 seats from being so..... but those are 2 very close races... too close to call this evening for sure.
And the Democrats are taking many of the Governorships and that does count for something too... It's been a referendum and it seems we are not happy with the Republican party or Bush, go figure! :D

Can they now repeal the Military Commisions Act of 2006?

Depends ... they need to win the Senate and do they want that battle right off the bat... Homework

Gee, I just read the last 6-8 posts and I feel like I have a re-run or re-count of last night----but I used my TV to keep up with the election results last night. Don't people have TV sets anymore ;)

BTW, how can the "poll" be closed already CB, you haven't counted my absentee ballot :mad:

buf, i think Maxx had the poll set to close after x amount of days, and as the votes were counted today, this poll has closed too, it can be re-opened by a mod (i think).

Sorry Liam, I was only joking since I knew my post would cause some "laughter" from some folks. I think I was the 17th voter to vote but since there isn't a paper ballot to verify that, who can question me!?! OUR poll was fair and square.

Ah, ok, it was the smilie that confused me. :)

I have to admit, being on this side of the pond, all i could do was watch this thread, i can't say i follow politics generally, let alone foreign politics, and don't understand the american system. Anyhoo i just saw this and thought of this thread:

:D

Liam

Not a problem Liam and I love your STOP sign. He is being stopped and now perhaps progress will hopefully resume; after at least a 12 year absence. And yes there are those that disagree. And one other item; I may not totally understand our system of government but I do know right from wrong and my conscience weights heavily on my actions in life.

No...I didn't have anything set for poll ending dates.....

I was confused just getting the poll thread started and didn't add any frills. I am used to the poll setup in IPB....and Vbulletin throws me occasionally. :D
