"..because the election wasn't

Change in power in the house ? Change in power in the Senate ?
Yes Senate - no super power override or crush a vote power anymore sob sob.

Largest loss in face in 50 years or more. But "wasn't that big a deal"

Ok - denial is wonderful isn't it Hawke.

Wait until next time.

I understand they're not aiming for the middle. They're usually aiming
just inside the posts, or just under the crossbar or in the corners,
but some of the missed shots are remarkably far from the target. I
also understand that there are defenders to deal with, but again,
these are the BEST players on the continent.

What's up with that?

Oh...wrong group. you may now continue your political bickering. Move
along, nothing to see here.

Wow, the day after the election and I haven't read a single political
post in RCM. I must
have finally got my filters tweeked correctly.


No. The losers are all in shock. ;-)


The reason you aren't hearing that much is because the election wasn't
that big a deal. In non presidential elections the party in power always
loses seats in congress. It's just a matter of how many. With a 9.7%
unemployment number it figured a lot of people would be voting
incumbents out of office, which they did.

But all that happened was that the republicans got the majority in one
of the three branches of the government. Democrats still control both
the Senate and the Presidency, which means they are still in the
driver's seat. The republican congress will have the ability to pass no
legislation. They won't get a thing done. Obama will still be running
the country and setting the agenda. So even though the Democrats lost
the majority in the House very little of importance has happened. So
like Obe Wan said, nothing to see here, move along.
