Does this mean we need them all for a majority? longship Apr 2012 #1
That's the way it looks to me, hoping I counted right. Very scary. That's Laura PourMeADrink Apr 2012 #2
Here is the way Real Clear Politics sees it karynnj Apr 2012 #6
That actually is not a good sign. If you look at my summary. It means that after my Laura PourMeADrink Apr 2012 #8
However, we need only 4 or 5 of the 8 labeled tossup karynnj Apr 2012 #9
I will have to take some time and match off what I have against theres..since I don't see us quite Laura PourMeADrink Apr 2012 #11

The Kaine/Allen race has barely begun in VA. It is not even a blip on the news yet. FSogol Apr 2012 #3
Should I move him up to Hopeful ? nt Laura PourMeADrink Apr 2012 #4
I'm not a pollster. I just don't see VA electing Allen again. FSogol Apr 2012 #5
Oh, I am not either. I just arbitrarily categorized Kaine as "Not Looking Good" since Laura PourMeADrink Apr 2012 #7
That poll looks like an outlier karynnj Apr 2012 #10

He could NOT have had single payer karynnj Apr 2012 #14

dumb question: Do you have to have 60 to push through the 51-49? nt Laura PourMeADrink Apr 2012 #15
Nope. whomever is the senate leader (the majority) can do it for that particular session SoCalDem Apr 2012 #18
Did he have to do it at the very beginning? Can he do it tomorrow? wtf. that pisses me off. nt Laura PourMeADrink Apr 2012 #19
It has to be done between sessions, before the new one starts SoCalDem Apr 2012 #21
The Senate leader and the majority caucus can get rid of the super-majority 60 vote rule. bluestate10 Apr 2012 #22
P.S. No truer statement than what you said about GOP using power. nt Laura PourMeADrink Apr 2012 #16
and I know I shouldn't post this....but here is the intrade info regarding the Senate.... a kennedy Apr 2012 #17
Carmona can win in Arizona. Carmona is a moderate. That plays well in Arizona. bluestate10 Apr 2012 #23
What the fuck is wrong with this fucking country?!?! When are people going to wake up and stop votin Liberal_Stalwart71 Apr 2012 #24
After it's too late... ellisonz Apr 2012 #27
Tragically it appears that way. :( Liberal_Stalwart71 Apr 2012 #29
Wait a minute: How the hell is Kaine now losing? He was kicking Allen's ass just a few weeks ago! Liberal_Stalwart71 Apr 2012 #25
The Roanoke Poll is oversampling Repubs (3 times in a row). Dawson Leery Apr 2012 #30
Really? That's great ! You saw a poll better than Roanoke? Be glad Laura PourMeADrink Apr 2012 #31
Well, excuse me. I hadn't realized that it was Roanoke so that makes sense. Every poll I've seen has Liberal_Stalwart71 Apr 2012 #32
