/dev/null Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) It's Game Day. Make your picks Senate: Orman wins Kansas and the Democrats end the day with 45 registered plus 3 Independents who caucus with them. Republicans pick u a bunch of seats (AR, AK, CO, ID, SD, WV) Republican momentum is stalled at the finish line, ending the day with 50 seats. Losing Kansas costs them the majority outright Senate stands at 50-48 Republican Louisiana and Georgia both go to a runoff Governorships: Florida: Democrats pick up the win for the first time this century by returning a former Republican to office Wisconsin: Walker wins his 3rd gubernatorial election in 4 years Pennsylvania: Corbett's toast Ohio: John Kasich wins easily and quietly begins a 2016 run New Mexico: Susana Martinez wins easily and contemplates a run in 2016 New York: Cuomo wins easily and not so quietly contemplates a run in 2016 House: Republicans quietly pick up a couple seats.

KD in CA Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm too upset to make predictions as I was humiliated and disenfranchised this morning when I went to vote. Here's what happened: The two 75 year-old ladies at the 'A-G' desk asked me for my *gasp* identification before they would hand me my ballot!! And then they drew a red line through my name on a list that was generated by the Republican Registrar of Voters!! Was anyone else subjected to this type of voter intimidation?? My prediction is that Republicans will still be angry no matter the outcome Wake up Rip Van Winkle. Liberal idiots like you took over the angry role 15 years ago.

B-Man Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Republicans will continue to make gains across the whole country, picking up a record number of State Assemblies and local government positions. The GOP will get the majority the US. Senate, even while losing the Oklahoma seat, but pulling the upset in New Hampshire, and several other "surprising" states. .

After all these years posting with you on this board, I had no idea you were a colored person. My prediction is that Republicans will still be angry no matter the outcome Funny.

John Adams Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Following the runoffs, the Senate will remain deadlocked or in Dems favor when you count the Indep as a D. I voted straight Republican today. Haven't done that in a while. Our PA Republican governor is going down in flames. When you cut education, you're f$%^ed every time. But it was nice of him to do some of the necessary dirty work in spite of it costing him. He also got a little Paterno on him in the Penn State rape and coverup scandal and that didn't help.

OCinBuffalo Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) The Rs are going to pick up at least 7 seats, LA is going to a run off, Alaska won't be done for 2 weeks, GA will be an easy R win, and Kansas, the most Red State in the union, is never ever going to vote for an I...with control of the Senate on the line. Hindsight is fun. But ask yourself: "why did we ever think Kansas was going to do anything other than elect and R under these conditions, and, who the F ever thought Texas was going to turn blue?" I mean, don't these stories seem silly today? Edited November 5, 2014 by OCinBuffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Now the challenge: What to do with what they've got. It's time for a bit of a macro view by planning legislation that builds toward a Republican win in 2016 as well as clear the Reid-built log jam and show the nation that Congress can work if led effectively and efficiently. (I probably should apologize now for using the words Congress, effectively and efficiently in the same sentence.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I OCed up my prediction. Good day for the Rs. Gridlock until 2016. I wonder what the Rs will run on in 2016. Repeal Obamacare now looks a bit dim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 My prediction is that they still won't accomplish anything in the next 2 years. well except to reiterate that they all want Obama's policies to fail. Depends on what you mean by "accomplish." I think they'll pass lots of bills. I think they'll all be vetoed, and very few of them will become laws. And I think the Republicans in Congress would consider that "accomplishment." At some point, it'll probably become an "I'm rubber, you're glue" game of each accusing the other of being obstructionist (Obama claiming Congress is obstructing his agenda, Congress complaining Obama's obstructing their legislative work). That'll be completely sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be completely sickening. they have always bickered and may continue to bicker for ever. that's why we need to get rid of the hard nose "my way or the highway" types that have had seats for over a decade. We The People, not We the Republican's, or We the Democrats. The day after the elections.... gas prices rose 2 to 5 cents in NoVa what is Congress approval rating again? 14%..... you think all the incumbents would be gone.

But the past six years has been more than bickering. It's been honest-to-God animosity and minimization of the opposing party as unworthy of recognition. Even during Bush's second term, while the animosity was there, there was still the recognition of needing to work with the other party. Until September 29, 2008, at least.
