Getting to Sixty before January 20th
As it presently stands, the Novemeber 4th election resulted in 55 Democrats, 2 independents (Lieberman and Sanders who both caucus with Democrats - making an effective 57 Democrats), 40 Republicans, and 3 seats oustanding. The three outstanding seats are Coleman’s in Minnesota, Saxby-Chambliss’ in Georgia, and Stevens (the convict) in Alaska.

In the end - does Nancy Pelosi decide who’s the next President?
This entire election comes down to the electoral outcome of three states - Colorado, New Hampshire, and Virginia. Virgina’s 13 delegates, New Hampshire’s 4 delegates, and Colorado’s 9 delegates, mean the difference between Obama being elected by 8 delegates, or McCain being elected by 2. Moreover, there is a very distinct possibility that the next [...]
Where was Barack Obama?
It’s hard to take Sen. Obama seriously when his voting record makes it clear - he hardly seems to show up for work on the difficult days. Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign rhetoric offers the Democrat Party the prospect of “Hope and Change, and a Better Tomorrow.” (or whatever bumper-sticker he’s posting today… Change I can [...]
