Mark Warner Running For Senate

The quicker the Dems in the Senate can stop having to kiss Lieberman's ass, the better we'll be.

 

This reminds me of the Ole Miss fan trying to tell me how great his team played after it fell behind 35-7.

The Democrats have cast their lot with the losing side of history. It will take a while, of course, but they will – within my lifetime – be as hard to find as Whigs and Libertarians.

Another two years of a Dem controlled Senate and their approval rating may be down to less than 5 percent.

 

The great inside-politics story of the next few two-year election cycles will be to just what degree the GOP will be able to obfuscate their blow-big-business/screw-the-middle-class/endless-war intermediate-term agenda.

If the broad populace buys into their tapdance, we deserve everything we get.

The Constitution . . . remember it?

We had better.

 

Yes, Henry, please call every GOP Congressman and tell them to run in 2008 on that message. If sure they'll turn and race to the blast fax to get it out.

Mark Warner runs, Dem pickup
If Shaheen runs in NH, Dem pickup
If Kerrey runs in Nebraska, Dem pickup

54-46 right there.

I don't like the GOP's chances in Colorado (and remember, the Dem convention is there). Collins and Coleman are going to have trouble. The most vulnerable Dem is Landrieu, and Cook and Rothenberg have even that seat as leaning D.

57-43? 58-42? It's possible.

 

. . . though I have ZERO doubt that if Hil wins, she'll raise a lot of backs, and '10 will be good business for even the modern-version, knuckledragging, "aren't-the-little-people-SUCKERS?" GOP . . .

 

If they go after Tim Johnson's seat -- which is their best shot at a pickup -- I think it will backfire on them.

Depends who runs, though.

I'd like to think Coleman is a dead man walking, but he is a survivor, if nothing else. Franken or Ciresi will have to take it from him.

 

The one where what happens in the next year, or even everything that has happened in the last 10 years, is just a speck on a fly's ass in The Great Scheme.

 

You mean The Great Scheme during which a collection of humorless assholes prevail?

I'll pass on that, thanks.

 

So you admit that you live in a fantasy world? Good, overcoming denial is the first step to recovery.
