6. No...
We're just banking on the fact that Webb has more votes, and that isn't likely to change despite Allen's whining.

8. VA will go to Webb.
Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 02:19 PM by longship
The recount will not flip enough votes for Macacawitz. Webb is too far ahead.

So, yes. We effectively have the Senate. It's all over except Candy Crowley singing. (Ewwwww! Sorry about that... :puke:)

15. Yeah but pure dem control will be 51
and two indies.

That is the breakdown

Granted, Bernie will causcus with us, that is 52, een if Joe goes to the other side, for the next two years it still is, 52-50

That is the math... and the prince of darkness can stay in the bunker shooting friends.

12. Our winning
Our taking the House and Senate, as well as getting rid of rummy is just par for the course; everything these last 6 years has been shocking.
