    That’s what the Republicans deserve. You abandon Ronald Regan philosophy and move center, that’s what you get. I think it is kool Lieberman won as an Independent!

    There are still 100,000 votes to count in Virginia. Congress is still up for grabs--regardless of what the media claims.

    Much of what happened this week is a repudiation of Republicans' leftward movement and abandonment of conservative principles. I am still trying to figure what the Democrats will do, but I am sure time will tell.

    Joe Lieberman's victory proved that a good man triumphed over the wishes of his own party. I certainly don't agree with all that Joe stand's for, but I respect him.

    Sort of like what the republicans have been doing the entire time they've had control?

    No border security, failed airline security, and lacking port security. :rolleyes:

    Boy: Of any senate race Allen blew it. He made stupid comments and lost the election on that. Not unlike Kerry screwed up joke.

    Those comments and a very narrow win in Virginia for Webb changed the leadership complexion of the Senate. Pretty astonishing.
