Okay, let’s be honest, yesterday’s election was a certifiable, big blue blowout. No, we didn’t get everything we want, but that’s only because we wanted everything. Instead, all we got was Democratic control of the House, Democratic control of the Senate, huge pick-ups in the state legislature, and every single statewide initiative and Supreme Court race going our way. If Darcy Burner and Peter Goldmark had declared victory last night, I would have personally considered the election a clean sweep.
As it is, Peter lost a tough, closely contested race in a district with a huge Republican advantage, and Darcy’s race is still too close to call. Although the numbers admittedly look better for the other side (you’d always rather be up than down,) there are still a lot of ballots left to count, and I’ve heard conflicting analyses about Darcy’s chances, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. If I sound a little sanguine it’s only because nothing that happened last night was a surprise (except, perhaps this,) and because I was so emotionally invested in Darcy’s race that nothing short of a victory party would have made last night complete.
I guess I’m just greedy, because of course I understand that both WA-08 and WA-05 were amazing victories for the local netroots, long before election night. We weren’t supposed to win either of these races — in fact, we weren’t even supposed to make them close. That was the storyline the local media adopted heading into the election year, and that was the storyline we worked so hard to rewrite. Of course the candidates deserve most of the credit, but the netroots played a huge role in making them both viable.
And win or lose, Darcy and Peter both played a necessary role in helping the Democrats retake the House. The 50-state strategy was a team effort, and yesterday’s 30-plus seat pick-up was a team win. Darcy in particular drew an enormous amount of Republican resources into a seat they hadn’t expected to seriously defend. The NRCC made the decision that WA-08 was a priority, and as a result resources were shifted from races that Democrats went on to win.
So before I go on to do any more analysis and gloating I just want to take a moment to thank all of you for your contribution towards changing the face of politics national and locally. This was a historic election for the Democrats and for the nation. And it’s just a hint of what’s to come.
sheesh…you guys look like brothers!
This is a win for America!
what’s on the agenda for the new legislature?
we’ll see. i hope you’re right roger.
Ghost @1,
One of us is an evil twin. The question is, which one?
Kind of a Cain and Abel thing, dontcha think? With both of you being Jewish and what-not.

I decided to check out Rush Limbaugh’s site to see how he “explained” his party’s collapse. It was rather entertaining. In short, he said that he felt “liberated” because “he was no longer going to have to carry the water for those who don’t deserve it”.
Poor Rush. It’s all about him. Such a martyr, and humble, too!
In other words, the Republican party let him down by not being Republican enough. He’s jumping on the “we should have run further to the right” bandwagon. Well, don’t let me get in your way, Rush. Go right ahead and run off the cliff on the right, along with your followers, if that is what you think is best.
Hey, where is JCH? Anybody hear from him in the last 24 hours? I didn’t think so.
goldy, my sweet…it couldn’t be you, could it? NAH…….:)
My guess: there is going to be a lot of celebrating in the taverns near the Pentagon this evening. The servicemen and women there are the ones who had to spend the last four to six years carrying water for somebody who didn’t deserve it.
If I sound a little sanguine it’s only because nothing that happened last night was a surprise (except, perhaps this,) and because I was so emotionally invested in Darcy’s race that nothing short of a victory party would have made last night complete.
I guess I’m just greedy…
In the context of elections, to borrow a line, greed is good. It’s only natural to want to win everywhere and to be disappointed on some level when that doesn’t happen. The fact that you believe it the rightness of your position to the degree that you become emotionally invested in the outcome, over-and-above the friendships that may be formed over the course of a campaign season, is to your credit. If you didn’t feel that way, I would question whether you were even human. So consider this a reaffirmation of you humanity.
Okay, if you were a little touch-and-go on that question before, I don’t think this is all that much comfort.
How about this… at least you weren’t the Kiss of Death like George Bush. :-)

We couldn’t possibly fuck it up worse than it is now.
America puked the Republican Slime out of its belly.
Good riddance.
More puking of scum to do.
Investigations starting soon.
Stay tuned……..
Blooooooooooooooooowout!!!!!
Like I have said before. Voting for Republicans these days would be like voting for NAZIS after the concentration camps were discovered.
They wanted to govern like the mob, and finally enough people were able to see throught the talking points, right wing media, staged propoganda, and politicizing every function of government.
The people have spoken.
I would like to thank the people that made this all possible. Scooter Libby, David Safavian, Tom Noe, Mr. Nie, Duke Cunningham, Mark Foley, Dennis Hastert, Tom DeLay, Neal Volz, Jack Abramoff, and of course all the people that looked the other way as the known criminals listed above committed their crimes against the People of the United States.
Now the real investigations will begin……
Gosh, I wouldn’t want to be one of Abramoff’s buddies when the Democrats have subpoena power……
Bunch of corrupt lying scum. Oh I forgot. 1 pedophile…..
Investigations are going to be the order of the day in order to, “drain the swamp”.
Re-pube-licans last night realized the prescience of POGO who decades ago pronounced: “We have met the enemy and he is us!”
Goldmark should run again in 2 years. He did very well, and McMorris will no longer be able to send a ton of money to the 5th. After all, they had the speaker and then the speaker killer, which gave them a lot of clout. Now they have nothing. And, as I said all along, Goldmark ran a strong campaign, and he fits the district well. Lets hope he gives it one more try, as I think he has a very good chance of winning then.
Psst – War on Christmas commences November 13th – In your secret HA code books, refer to Alpha-Juliet-Mike for further instructions.
I think the netroots are overstating their contribution to the Democratic victory.
I see the following as the wave the Democrats have ridden:
1) The in party in power usually loses big in the sixth year of a Presidency.
2) Bush is extremely unpopular.
3) The Bush Administration execution of the war is unpopular.
4) The Republican leadership in Congress is unpopular.
5) The Republicans abandoned their principles they rode to victory in 1994.
That’s not to say the Democrats can’t capitalize and build. They have two years to show what they stand for. If that agenda is popular, and Bush obstructs, then it’s likely the Democratic nominee will win in 2008.
I think the winning strategy for 2008 for the Democrats is to govern and not attempt to wreak revenge. No talk of frog marches or perp walks. Stifle those rabid idealogues that want to throw supeonas everywhere. Investigations should look like oversight, and not witch hunts. No impeachment hearings.
I heard that Darcy is behind by 2600 votes, and I don’t know where the ballots yet to be counted are from, but there were what, 100,000 ballots yet to be counted? She’d need 51.3% of those 100K to win. Maybe? I don’t know. I probably am too high on the number of ballots yet to count, which would make the percentage she needs from them higher. It’s kinda chancy at this point.
Even though you have 4 times the votes to count in King than in Pierce, Darcy lost Pierce by a large margin and won King by a narrow margin. So to win she will need to do something like 5-7 times better in King than she has in her to date King vote. It looks more likely to me that the gap will get larger.
Still, it is not bad form to delay concession at this time. Once a little over 50% of the outstanding votes are counted and if the gap grows by 1,000 or so, then it will be time. Peace.
25 CF
Point 1 is wrong.
Here are the number of House seats lost by the President’s party in the 6th year of his presidency during the post-war period. I pulled the numbers from the House website and quickly did the math:
1958: Eisenhower–Republicans lost 48 seats
1986: Reagan–Republicans lost 5 seats
1998: Clinton–Democrats gained 5 seats
So only once in the last half century has the President’s party lost more than 30 seats in the second-term midterms. Get it yet? Not USUAL. Today’s Democrats now have a 33 seat majority in the House.
If you want to compare it to the Watergate surge (it wasafter Nixon resigned, so it wasn’t in the earlier collection), go ahead. It’s probably apt.
Um, Bush and Republicans are unpopular? Isn’t that the definition of “wave?” And here you are arguing that their unpopularity means it isn’t a wave. Huh?
And the investigations are going to start out looking like oversight, but when the dirt really starts to be exposed it’s gonna be really dirty. All we’ve seen so far is the easy stuff: Duke Cunningham making a friggin’ menu of his legislative services and what they cost, and so on. And you’re going to hear (and probably participate in) non-stop attacks from the Right and their media minions to try to stop the oversight and stop them from follwing the evidence where it leads. You’ll call THAT a “witch hunt” no matter what.
Spare us your faux-temperate advice. We will follow the evidence where it leads. That’s a promise. We won’t give you hell, we’ll tell the truth about your guys and it will FEEL like hell.
Oh, and Idiot Boy will “stay the course,” Iraq will blow up worse every day, thousands more Americans will die so he can feel manly, and it’ll all be on him, ready for 2008.
I think the winning strategy for 2008 for the Democrats is to govern and not attempt to wreak revenge. No talk of frog marches or perp walks. Stifle those rabid idealogues that want to throw supeonas everywhere. Investigations should look like oversight, and not witch hunts. No impeachment hearings.

What? You mean that you don’t care if they broke the law? Remember how the same Republican sleazebags “Had” to impeach Clinton because he broke the law, and the pillars of our society are built on the fact that all people have to follow the law, even the president?
I say investigate them, Democrat, and Republican. The ones that sold our country down to river to the K-Street gang, and crooked defense contractors should be locked up, just as you and I would expect to be if we broke the law.
It is not about witch hunts for revenge. It is about the rule of law. Without holding criminals accountable for their crimes, we can only expect more crime.
Conservative first I essentially agree with you. The investigations should like calm orderly oversight, and not political attacks at every opportunity. That is what Republicans did, and it made Americans sick to their stomach.
I just want the guilty ones locked up, and I don’t care what party they belong to!
Just remember pretty much every word that came out of Bush, and Cheney’s mouths in the run up to the Iraq invasion was known to be false at the time. Do you think this should be investigated? They knew about Abu Gharib, and did nothing. Do you think this should be investigated. The list goes on and on, and I need to get back to work…..
Just remember there is a difference between Republicans and Democrats. The wingnuts, and the moonbats.
The Democrats want all criminals indicted.
The Republicans want all crimes committed by Republicans ignored so their party can keep their power.
Now which group of people would be better for America?
CF @ 25,
another veiled plea for mercy. Yawn.
The central committee has met and we are no longer willing to entertain such meek entreaties.
Henceforth you must openly beg us for our mercy.

I believe that we should provide the Republicans who are in our midst a path to amnesty, but that path should be rather taxing. Certainly, a genuine plea for mercy should be part of the equation. Other reasonable conditions might include holding a sign in a public square saying that Ronald Reagan was not a saint, attending a lecture on the Bill of Rights, and swearing off Fox News forever. Failure to comply with such conditions, of course, should lead to deportation.

Thanks. Man, to be that close in Wyoming is truly amazing.
Isn’t it funny how all the righties are claiming they want unity now that they don’t have power. And they’re warning againt investigations – hoping I guess that the GOP Congress spent 100 million dollars of taxpayer money on 57 separate investigations of President Clinton?
I don’t think so. I say perp walk and execute the traitors. Let them eat their own.
“Vengeance is mine,” sayeth the Lord, “though surely the Democrats, in returning from the wilderness, may rightfully wreak some vengeance upon their foes.”
We’ll pickup the 5th CD when McMorris goes to jail in the Abramoff thing.
Proud Leftist on 39: Reagan destroyed the USSR (CCCP). That’s good enough to me.
Regarding amnesty, I want you all to Dingellize and Conyersize us with investigations. Please. Please! Librul donk from Michigan and California will be our 2 year reprise. Do you really think people will wnat the country to enter this malaise period? I look forward to it.

Hey, MWS,
Glad you showed up. How are you doing today? Feeling chipper and upbeat? I’m sure you will learn no lessons from yesterday because reality never fucks with a good fantasy. Keep up with your thorazine and you can continue to dream. With regard to history and politics, my young friend, you’re really not ready to express any opinions. Ronald Reagan “destroyed the USSR” just like GWB has created a democratic Iraq. Keep studying, though, and maybe someday you’ll start to understand how things are.
So why no SOS updates on WA 8??????

Like “Cinderella” this is a sentimental tear-jerking fairytale.
Hmmm. All this foolish talk about revenge. Investigations, under subpoena, is not revenge. Revenge, as the game is played in the House, under both Nuetered Ginger-itch and good ole’ boy Sam Rayburn was to give your opposition an office in a broom closet, or perhaps a desk, without a phone, down at the end of the hall. . .or as Nutie-Frutie did. . .move’em across the street to the annex. Now
THAT’S REVENGE. I don’t advocate that. . .but investigate the hell out of ’em.
and roger…didn’t JFK CUT TAXES???????
you guys are no more the party of kennedy now [unless we are talking teddy] than this GOP is the party of reagan.
grok the fullness of it…..
52
A perfect illustration of why we can’t do business with Republicans.
55
JFK inherited the Republican Recession of 1958 and ran a very mild deficit to temporarily cut taxes to stimulate the economy, which is a standard stimulus tool. There is no comparison between the JFK deficits (which were small, temporary, and of brief duration) and the later Republican deficits of Reagan and Bush43.
55 (continued)
It’s true, as you say, that the GOP has abandoned all of Reagan’s principles and beliefs. The GOP is now the borrow-and-spend-like-drunken-sailors party.
People remember the 1980s (the Reagan administration) as an era of unparalleled greed — and the second-worst depression of the last 100 years.
People will remember the Dubya era as … an era of unparalleled greed — and the worst corruption since 140 years ago.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the scandals we know about only scratch the surface. With one-party government run by people determined to keep the lid on, it’s a sure thing there’s more Republican scandals that haven’t come to light yet. When the investigations start, there will be avalanche of new revelations.
Christmasghost and MWS: You bet your sorry asses there’s gonna be INVESTIGATIONS. You cockroaches are about to go under the MAGNIFYING GLASS. Enjoy — we certainly will!
The Government Printing Office just ordered 6 more trainloads of paper to print the presidential pardons on, and they’re installing an automated signature machine in the White House capable of signing 1,200 pardons an hour.
54
Why NOT move them into the broom closet? Why fucking NOT? They’ve got it coming!
Christmasghost has no place at this table. Go away fool.You input is not needed. Republican have perverted our sytem of governance.
First on our agenda will be to re-fund the GAO. With that information we can begin to do much of the criminal mischief of the past six years. This is not a partisan thing, but an American thing. You just don’t get it.
The next thing is to somehow gather up the tatters of our Constitution and begin the laborious process of binding up some of the rents made in it and our Bill of Rights by these thugs. You are worried about your purse
roger…i must call you on this. “this is why WE can’t do business with republicans???? are you serious? and just what ‘business’ would you be doing my friend? playing on the computer all day on YOUR BOSS’S DIME?
a liberal whiner with a viable business? oh hardly…..but thanks for the laugh.
the republican recession? i realize that your less informed friends [of which i am sure there are legion] would buy that….but the rest of us know that there just happened to be a WAR. korea? ring any bells for you?
but i do agree with your post at # 58…..reagan would be appalled, as am i, at the way these idiots were spending money.
would you also agree with me on something? would you like to see our tax dollars go to fixing problems here at home instead of going to israel, and every other country with it’s hand out? frankly…and i just cannot fathom why we do this…until we can walk safely in every city here at night, and there are no more hungry children in this country why we would spend one thin dime anywhere else. charity…so the saying goes..begins at home.
tree frog….aned just what tears in the fabric of our constitution? name them.
i take it these are typos…or are they? freudian slips perhaps????
“You input is not needed. Republican have perverted our sytem of governance.
First on our agenda will be to re-fund the GAO. With that information we can begin to do much of the criminal mischief of the past six years.”
i especially like the last part…wow…your freudian slip really is showing…..LOL.
you know…for winners [or is that whiners?] you are being awfully nasty? can we expect more of this????
For you, who was so ready to call any stripe of Democrat a terrorist sympathizer and a traitor, Yes. Your brand of hypocrisy is being shown the door. Don’t let it hit you in the butt on the way out.
I just checked Pierce County’s Auditor’s website. They report that 100% of the precincts has been counted. 12,345 votes for Darcy and 16022 for Dave. I just checked the King County Elections website. They report that 100% of the precincts has been counted. 62516 votes for Darcy and 61595 for Dave. The totals are 74861 for Darcy and 77595 for Dave. Mr. Mak should do his homework.
@ 68 100% of the precincts does not mean all votes have been counted. The mail, for instance, is still arriving.
But, what is the SOS reporting process?
Roger Rabbit @ 57
My understanding was that the highest tax bracket before the Kennedy tax cuts was at 91%, and that Kennedy reduced the top bracket to 70%. At some point, probably after Kennedy, the 70% top tax bracket remained in place, but only as to “unearned income”. They put a 50% top bracket for “earned income”.
I don’t have the exact sequence of events for the 1981 Reagan tax cuts, but it was something like a 1/3 reduction in rates, with the top bracket being somewhere in the 35% or so range, even for “unearned income” (no distinction between the two was made anymore).
Then in 1986, there was a tax code reform, which only made the tax code more complicated, of course. Among other things, there were fewer tax brackets, fewer deductions, etc.
The federal budget was very unbalanced during the 1980’s, so there were a series of tax increases and spending cuts, to try to get it more in balance. I think during the 1987-88 time frame, and again sometime around 1991 or so with George Bush Sr. Under Clinton in 1993 or 1994, there was a more substantial tax increase.
So basically the federal budget became balanced in the late 1990’s, and there were even surpluses. When George Bush Sr came to power, there were substantial tax cuts and spending increases, so that is where we are today.

You all seem to forget he had a donk congress with Tip O’Neill as sleazer of the house. He DESTROYED the USSR without the help of the congressional moonbats. He told Gorbachev to “Tear Down This Wall”. Your moonbattic friends railed him. Yet in 1989 the wall came down. Gorbachev said Reagan was the reason things changed. You moonbats can swallow anything except moonbat kool-aid.
Greed, what greed. You guys controlled the purse strings. You uys controlled WA, DC. You guys doled the money to your favorite pet projects. More bullshit from Furball.
This is why I’m unrepentant. Yes you guys won, by 5000 votes or less margins. Is that a mandate? Doubt it because many of these candidates are centrists from Emanuel’s pickings. They are NOT CUT FROM PELOSI CLOTHING! When people like Heath Shuler said he has to think about voting for Pelosi I know he will but he’ll have to answer to back home. If you guys go too far (please do, please do) 2008 will be a wonderful year. Being donk in a conservative area catches up to you. Remember Tom Daschle? He’s your poster boy!

mike @72….that was great! absolutely perfect…..
i really hope they do make nancy the speaker…and it looks like they will…because what the moonies always forget [or never knew to begin with] is that people get elected by both parties. and this was hardly a mandate for them. ahhh…two whole years for americans to listen to the deaniac and nancy “more botox please” pelosi.
gosh…do you think burner will show the CLASS that allen has and concede?
oh you KNOW that’s rhetorical. a moonbat with class?????
and here comes the dems favorite terrorist group the IRS……[why billy even used them for ‘light reading’ material]
“Democrats promise to find revenue by closing tax loopholes and shelters, rolling back tax breaks for oil companies and for income earned by overseas affiliates of U.S. corporations. They also vow to raise revenues with an aggressive effort to close the “tax gap” — the more than $300 billion a year in taxes owed that go uncollected.”
of course they won’t touch kerry’s or kennedy’s tax shelters. just common peeps. the last sentence there in the story for those of you with the reading “ability’ of GBS is code for “they are going to start auditing like crazy.”
and for GBS once again…although i doubt there is anything to audit…..the IRS has it’s own judicial system where you are GUILTY until you prove otherwise.
wow…this is soooo progressive.
