Also some interesting stuff about changing party constituencies – Dems getting singles, young voters, and Latinos in this round.

“How likely is this scenario?”�

Okay. I’m gonna jump in here with a bunch of what you must understand is PURE SPECULATION.

But. Let’s say come January the new Congress is sworn in, and all of a sudden we have some power… as in subpoena power. All we need is for 2 or 3 Republican Senators to be indicted and it’s a whole NEW ball game. THEN we can go after “our own.” (Which is not to say I think Nomentum is ours, but if he does hold true to his word and caucus with the Dems… well, you know….) It may take 6 months, maybe a year. But I do believe that the new Congress will remember what he did, and sooner or later he will pay. Down here in Red State country I have learned patience… (I hate it, but I’ve learned it.) Does that in any way respond to your question?

No, it didn’t answer my question. But thanks for raising the point about the indictment sword cutting both ways. I forget that Dems can play that game too (at least in theorey they could). It’s been so long that we’ve been out of power, my basic assumptions about reality need some time to adjust.

As for living in red states, I live deep in the heart of Texas, and it has not made me one bit more patient. I’m told payback is a bitch, and I pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that her name is Pelosi.

You know, I’m really getting weary of this blue dem denial thing. How come they don’t get that we are heading in a progressive direction that is anything but centrist. And the society is heading that way for the long term.

Heading in a progressive direction that is anything but centrist?

You don’t get out much past Vermont, do you? Call me when most of the country gets close to -1000 on the conservative (negative) to liberal (positive) number line…until then, I’m still sleeping, ’cause there’s far too much conservatism in this country for me.

Waxman is one of the most dedicated and honest people ever to serve this nation.

Now we get to see some of the Democratic servants doing their thing….

That means dingleberries like James Inhofe in Oklahoma can take some time off to find out if any family member has ever engaged in any gay sex.

In keeping with the general trend, I simply have to say that that’s an affront to dingleberries….

[Mod Note; that means new thread, folks.]

Olbermann says it is “almost certain” the Demos will take over the Senate.

And Rumsfeld compares himself to Churchill. Get reality. Don.

Well, see, WE’RE the people stuck in a “reality based” world… Them? They don’t need no stinkin’ reality…

Patrick at 15 — ba dum bum…no, but a wingnutty looking geezer reading the latest O’Reilly “book” sitting near me did a double take when I said “First, let me say congratulations, Madame Speaker…” and then went on with my point. *g* That was, admittedly, fun.
