Thunder, lightning, wind and rain...
 

For me, the election results can not be counted soon enough.

The people need to start the "Flip the switch" campaign.

Turn off your TV, ignore the media and just go vote. Think of what a surprise it will be for you on Wednesday.


Remember the definition of insanity. If you reelect someone and expect a different result....well then....:eek:

Thunder, lightning, wind...

For a minute there, I thought you had talked to people the day after I made a batch of Chili Miller's Semi-Famous Killer Chili...

Thunder, lightning ...
 

Some may remember this as the old pre-jump foul weather chant. Thought it appropriate with past history IRT voter turn-out.

Thunder, lightning, wind and rain...sounds like someone I dated once back when...she was known as Hurricane Sal. :D :D :D

And so it goes...

You're on a roll today...might as well go vote...who could screw in this weather

And that's why we broke up! ;)

...thus destroying another government issue keyboard.

I just hope folks got off their collective butts and voted.

This Shepherd guy on Fox News extolling that "Harry Reid is doing very well in Nevada" is starting to piss me off. Just STFU and let those people vote.

Agree with you 110%, Gypsy! They need to STFU!:munchin

What is really interesting about this election is not the conservative turn, but the inclusive nature of rhetoric from the republican party claiming Tea Party elected as their own.

It's very subtle, but if you were discriminately listening to both major parties, as they attacked the candidates representing the Tea party, it was the perfect example of collusion in a two party system, as neither party wants a third party realized in this country, and in that regard they jointly work together to marginalize the third party usurps. Leaving the voting public with the same two headed single body snake.

If the Tea party is to be a rejuvenating force the newly elected need to maintain their independence and not align themselves with the republican party.

Example of the inclusive rhetoric, but when you open the article not a word of the Tea Party is mentioned, in fact its dismissive.

From what I saw on the news, NC turnout was 45%. A miracle for a midterm.

Yeah, but all of the Dim scumbags in NC I have seen called so far got returned to the US House. Even Etheridge may be back. More Dim than Repub Reps. What has happened to my state?

I am shocked at the lack of change in the US Senate races.

Unless something miraculous happens, the Senate is going to remain Dim, and in fact, Harry Reid may still be the Majority Leader.

I hope that the Repubs in Congress can hold the line and maintain a positive rep, because if we could not win everything today with this wave of support, we are probably going to see Obama blame the House and get a second term in 2012.

I think it will remain Dim - but with Schumer at Majority Leader. I think Reid is an idiot, but Schumer scares me. He's a smarmy, arrogant jerk.

That's not such a bad outcome. It's not as good as neither of them being majority leader, but there is a bright side. Schumer will disgust and annoy so many people that he'll be a great asset to get people to come over to the right side. That is, he'll have an effect on the next election that is much like Obama's on this one.

This has been a good night so far...and it's not over yet.
