As for the psychic comment, don't be coy. Outside of the draft comment, people have been clamoring for more troops to do the job right in Iraq forever. Do it right or get out. They also admitted Iraq is at the beginning of a civil war, something we've all been saying for some time now. Too little, too late from them.

She was supposed to wave her wand and turn Iraq into a peaceful, freedom-loving nation, friend to the US and to all fellow Iraqis. Where the heck is she? Cheney clapped his hands and everything!

Course, I'm not too fond of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa showin' up in stories either.

Now that the democrats are controlling congress, they are setting up to blame them for the inevitable defeat and humiliation we are going to experience there. That's why they're talking draft. To scare people about the democrats.

Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder Got court in the morning, so off to bed. The Republicans can't say they weren't warned. We've been saying how we couldn't wait for this mid-term election, and what we said would happen did. I'll say it again. The Democrats didn't win this so much as the Republicans blew it, big time.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan As I've said before, Angelides ran an awful campaign. How awful? The most remarkable/memorable moment came when John Kerry made a gaffe. But I also believe that the Governor learned that going hard right isn't what the people want. He likes being popular, and I think he was sincere in his apology for the special election.

Of those 17; seven would be considered strong Pawlenty counties, six would be strong Hatch counties, and six are toss-ups. I don't think this one will be decided until tomorrow. I think I'll maybe stay up for another half hour but then it's bedtime for me. Gotta work tomorrow!!
