I just heard if we don't get Va we don't get the Senate. Can anyone verify this for me?

.
If we take the exit polls, without VA we only have 50.
Cheney is the tie breaker so the Repubs really have a majority.

1. The propaganda is that as Virginia goes, the Senate goes
It is all about numbers regardless.

HuffPo exit polls (unofficial) show Webb winning. Plus, I live in Va and know the vibe going on here.

6. Breaking down the numbers
Jeffords and Sanders both will caucaus with the Dems.

Chaffee is more of a RINO.

I think we only really need about four seats when you break it down.

11. Sanders will REPLACE Jeffords who is retiring - they won't serve together
Leahy is the other Senator from Vermont.

7. I was never convinced that we would take the Senate. I'm focused on the house.
It will be a very pleasent surprise but I was never counting on it.

10. The House is what we really need
If we are to impeach these criminals.

Next elections we can hold the Republicans votes in the senate against them should it fail. In this election, impeaching the criminals would have been money.

12. we need at least 6. Hard to get 6 without Virginia.
But it isn't like the party that controls Virginia automatically controls the Senate.

:shrug:
