Glad to hear he got it--we've got another one ready to go that I hope to put in the mail tomorrow or Saturday. Question for you--if he's not there, will they hold it for him or give it to his roommates? I'd hate for it to land back on my doorstep as that would defeat the entire purpose

Do you have any evidence to refute that? Usually it's the person making the argument that needs to support it, not the other way around. I've searched and the first time I can find a quote of someone from Democratic leadership supporting Ned Lamont is the day after the primary. I've done my research, Dr. Guy. But I missed it, did you have somet

Now I need evidence? geez shades, no one just runs without some kind of tacit support from leadership. That's not true--plenty of people run in the primary without support from leadership. Leadership can't possibly support everyone running in the primary, now can they? I have searched, and I can not find any evidence that showed that

and JUST how did Lamont decide to run for the Senate? He was encouraged to run by the leadership of the party shades, that's how Do you have any evidence to support that--because as far as I can tell, Lamont was on his own until after the primary? Once he won the primary the Democratic leadership supported him (they had to, that's what a primary

Moderateman: The Dems didn't hand pick Lamont--the voters in the CT primary did. That's how the process works. The democratic party could not run Lieberman as a D after he lost the election. My understanding is that prominent Dems stayed out of CT--no matter what, the seat was a win for them so it didnt' matter who actually won the seat. Lieberman has always said that he would serve as a Democrat--there was no chance that he would switch parties so the Rs wooing him would be in vain

Reply to Joe Lieberman and Bernie Sanders. in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

With these two men abstaining it would be a 49 to 49 split between the Republicans and the Democrats leaving no Majority nor a Minority party Actually, if that were the case, Cheney would get the deciding vote and the Republicans would be in power. As Myrr said, there's no reason Sanders wouldn't caucus with the Dems (as he's done in t

According to the FOX election polls that as of 11:15am on Nov 8 it's 49 R, 47 D and 2 I. That tells me we still control the senate. Except that those two independents have already said that they are caucusing with the Democrats, which effectively makes it 49 to 49 with two seats left to decide. When it comes down to voting for leadersh

Reply to Is Our Representative Democracy Becoming Obsolete? in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

i am not talking about doing work from home, just casting a vote if the senator was not in the hall. in 1791, it wasn' t very possible. today it is. this would make "gettin out of town (or at least the hall) to avoid a tough vote" a moot point. it would force legislators to have an accountable vote regardless of their location. Even if a legisla

Birthday--the day after in Misc JoeUser Forums

Since I plan to really celebrate my birthday while I am in the Bahamas this weekend (I'm going down for a old boss' wedding), I spent last night eating some chinese takeaway and watching the election results. So, let's see how I did with my predictions: 1. Maryland: Cardin will get by, but just barely. Steele has become extremely inarticulate

WE still control the senate! How do you still control the Senate? Right now it is a tie (49 and 49) with two undecided seats that are currently leaning toward to the Democrats. Do you have information that no one else is privy to?

As someone said in the comments section of one of Brad's Limbaugh articles, it's not a foregone conclusion Pelosi will by the majority leader. Murtha said tonight he intends to get the position. You are right that Murtha said he was going after the Majority Leader position, but Pelosi will almost certainly be the Speaker of the House. They are t

Why? I find the Allen office to be politically hungry but not willing to work for their constituents. I find the Senator's ego gets in the way of him making good public policy. I find the fact that he assumes that Virginians are too uneducated to understand the difference between literature and real l

because it's my birthday! I'm impressed at the great lengths the media has gone to make sure that my birthday is not forgotten. In fact, Chris Matthews just informed everyone that there are just over 6 hours left--so you'd better head to the stores if you have finished your birthday shopping. What's that you say, it's not all about me??? Are you sure?<BR
