I agree with you here, Mr. Watson. Especially the *libations* part. But, I'd also add that they'll be chillin' at the Algonquin, too.

:)

It's going to be a nasty two years to come.

One thing I *really* hope happens: I really hope Macaca loses. Even though Webb doesn't totally float my boat either. And not because of something he once wrote either.

Have fun live blogging! I'll be checking in.

Go Democrats!

tom,

i think webb and mccaskill are going to win, furthering your argument about the softening of the border states.

the race to watch is Montana, where Tester has to hold on.

I went to a MoveOn phone "party" on Sunday. I do not know the amount of phone calls the Republicans get out but MoveOn claimed at this "party" to have had made 5 million phone calls this political season. And there was more GOTV activity and more volunteers than 2004. Look for the GOTV efforts to start becoming less of an advantage for the GOP in 2008. Nothing like being in 2nd place to get one motivated.

I agree about the Governorships and state legislators. Who runs the states after the 2010 census is counted will have a HUGE advantage and neither side will show mercy when slicing up their states.

Either a slight or huge majority in the House doesn't matter. Either way the Dems are looking to take down Bush. If they don't they will bear the wrath of those who put them there. They were put there with a mission and they know they must deliver. Its all out war in the House. There will be bodies left for dead on the House floor very soon.

I think the Dems take the Senate. Doesn't matter by how much. One is all it takes. The big question here is whether Joe Lieberman backs the impeachment hearings or not. He will hold his grudge against the Dems until the day he dies and he plans to get even.

Within 6 months I look for a MAJOR split in the GOP. The Pat Robertson/NeoCon crowd vs the Pat Buchanan/"Libertarian" crowd.

Light butter on my popcorn please.

Tom - I'm praying that you're right, but I've been having these nasty flashbacks to election '04, when we all left work assured (by people IN THE KNOW, no less) that Kerry had it in the bag. Everyone I know is voting Democratic...but that's the problem: most of the people I know ALWAYS vote Democratic. It's those folks that I DON'T know who seem to be keeping the conservatives in power.

Steve-o's sad crystal ball says: Republicans hang on to a sliver of a lead in both houses.

See you, Susan, and Heather over at the Beer Bar for yet another despondent post-election lunch on Wednesday...

Nooooooo! (Not that I don't like you guys, but we were sloppy drunk at 11:50 am).

50-50 maybe, but do you think the R's can keep anything like dicipline in the aftermath of this, uhm, to put it nicely, g'hanze megilla?? The story on Wednesday/Thursday will be how a delusional Bush fucked the last two weeks of campaigning. I doubt Dick will have many ties to break (well, maybe one of his own, tied around a pipe in the basement).

when we all left work assured (by people IN THE KNOW, no less) that Kerry had it in the bag.

Did you guys really think Kerry had it in the bag? I *never* had that feeling. Ever. Well, after the debates, it was hard to argue against him. But, still. Didn't you *know in your gut* (not to use a Bush phrase, sorry) that he would lose?

I've got a feeling about tomorrow. We'll take the House. I'm not sure about the Senate.

But, let's keep hope alive!

You never know.

Yeah, Blue Girl. We really DID think so...and so did a lot of other folks (I seem to recall Al Franken - seriously - projecting a Kerry victory on Air America based on early exit poll results. Pride cometh before the fall...or, better: disappointment for the Dems lately comes IN the fall...

Hope it's not so this time around.
