The senate will still be republican barring a major upset. Dems pick up obama..republicans officially get the georgia seat vacated by zell miller (which for all intent and purpose has been a republican seat anyway). There are about 9 seats (KY, LA, NC, SC, SD, OK, FL, AK and CO) that are close enough to even possiby be too close to call. Notice all of them are in states bush is expected to win. Without those 9 seats figured in, the republicans hold the majority in the senate at 47-43-1. Republicans only need 3 of those 9. My gess is the republicans win NC, SC, FL, OK, SD and KY and lose CO, AK and LA making the senate 53-46-1 with a bush win or 54-45-1 with a democrat win. Besides the presidential election, Tom Daschle losing in SD might be the biggest story of the day.

Excuse me. Drudge reported the story. The story is true. What he said IS NEWS.

Not only that, but I saw a listing somewhere of his potential cabinet. Alot of senate guys. Its possible he will lose a couple more senate seats to his cabinet. Not sure what states they were from though. Could make it more interesting.

While I agree with you, I think this goes to speak great volumes about kerry. He will say ANYTHING to win. He will be a packer fan today in WI, a redsox fan tomorrow, he will go hunting for ducks, he will hunt deer on his hands and knees. He is a gun owner, he tries to be everything to everyone instead of who he is. Just be John Kerry and maybe people will vote for you.

10 is too much. I like one 6 year term

We dont even know what Kind of machines these are....could they be computerized machines? If so, its simple.

FYI Fox just reported this....

Ya know...this is another topic for another day. But ONE six year term might be an idea I can live with.

Look up a couple posts...

Im not saying drudge is the gospel, but he doesnt flat out make stuff up. He is often the one who breaks the news first. Yes he reports on alot of trivial things, some of which dont go mainstream. Please provide me an instance where drudge was flat out wrong on something.

Listen, I posted this story and said I hope its not what it looks like. I am taking a very careful position on this until the facts come out. However once 700 votes at one precint, it has been changed to 2000 votes at 4 locations and growing. This could be a MAJOR scandal, thats why I am posting this. Drudge doesnt just make this stuff up. There is some basis for it. Like I said though, its possible there is a legit reason for this, and thus i am witholding judgement. Notice in NONE of what is posted does it give ANY indication as to whom these votes are for. It doesnt matter.

Looks like an extra "700 people" turned out in PA. Drudge: Before voting even began in downtown Philladelphia -- poll watchers found nearly 700 votes already planted on machines... The incident occurred at 2601 N. 11th St., Philadelphia, Pa... Developing... Now, i am hoping these are absentee ballots left in a bad place, or poll workers who voted early or some other benign reason...I will withold judgement until then. Lets just hope someone wins PA by at least 3%

Really? That is very odd. Living in p-town i have seen ALOT of bush and kerry ads, many swift vote ads and even other 527s. Strange

I dont like people saying thier vote doesnt couint because they are a republican in ny. If 10 people vote for A and 6 people vote for B, the only votes that "dont count" are the 3 extra people who voted for A. Therefor if you are a republican in NY, you are voting for B and YOUR VOTE COUNTS. You vote might not matter but it counts. Symantics I know, but just vote okay?!

Whoever wins will be my president and I will stand by him. I may dissent often, but he will be my president and I will support him. However I am a conservative, I realize most of my liberal friends will be too inconsiderate to do the same.

I would move msnbc a few ticks towards the right...but that rating scale looks about right. Fox IS biased toward the right, but much less than cnn is left. The thing with fox is that you KNOW when the host is biased. CNN, CBS ABC NBC they put on this non-partisan face but are FAR from it.

Popular Vote: Bush 49.2% Kerry 47.9% Nader 1.0% Other 1.9 % (Outragous prediction, Badnarik gets more votes than nader) Electoral Vote: Bush wins 30 states AL(9), AK(3), AR(6), AZ(10), GA(15), WV(5), WY(3), TX(34), UT(5), VA(13), NV(5), OK(7), SC(8), SD(3), TN(11), IN(11) ID(4), KS(6), KY(8), LA(9), MO(11), MS(6), MT(3), NC(15), ND(3), NE(5), NM(5), FL(27), OH(20), CO(9), IA(7) Kerry wins 20 states and DC DC(3), DE(3), OR(7), PA(21), RI(4), VT(3), WA(11), IL(21), MA(12), MD(10), ME(4), CA(55), CT(7), NJ(15), NH(4), NY(31), HI(4), MI(17), MN(10), WI(10), 286-252 Bush

The other thing you are forgetting is that there WILL be competition for his services. Sure if its one team, they may say "4th round or forget it" to force our hands. But if oakland is saying that we simply ask phily, and they might say fine, we will give you a third rounder for him, and the bidding escalates from there. Our hands are NOT tied here. He is under contract with us. If some other team (philly) would rather draft a guy like Ronnie Brown with their first round pick...rather than have travis, so be it. There arent alot of good backs in this draft. Carnell williams and Cedrick Benson. Thats about it.

Bottom line is that we are 2-5. We need to go 7-2 or 8-1 the rest of the way to have ANY chance at the playoffs (and even then might not make it). We still play NE, NYJ and Sea. Its not that I wasnt happy we won today, its that it doesnt really matter. I still watch and want them to win, but with the superbowl seemingly out of reach at this point, how excited can you get about maybe having an 8-8 season?

That avatar really really needs to go tater

While this is possible if the EV is tied, the only way its possible is if the senate goes democratic. In a tie, the newly elected house selects the president (bush since republicans will regain control). The senate then selects the VP between cheney and edwards. They will select cheney unless something strange happens and republicans lose the senate. I have no idea what happens if the senate is 50/50. Do they wait until the house selects the VP then have the VP cast the deciding vote?

Travis is a damn good back, and I wish we could keep him. But it appears as if mcgahee fits in better here. If travis does go, i wish him all the luck in the world (unless they are playing us or he goes to mia/ne)

I'd take 80 yards and a W than 497 and a L

Atlanta actually is a good possibility. They seem to like our bills over there. Arizona maybe if their pick isnt too high. Philadelphia? Jacksonville if they give up on Taylor. Indy if James is gone. Oakland and perhaps even cleveland. Lots of possibilities there....Philly looks like our best bet at a #1. They will have a late first round pick, and need a RB. Good spot for travis actually.
