You were close. The GOP lost control of the House of
Representatives, and have lost four or more Senate
seats.
At this point, the Senate is so close that we may not
know which party controls it until December... late
December.
At the very best, The Republicans went from control
of both houses in congress to barely hanging on to
one.

The dummy should have done what all the good "psychics" do--call the
election AFTER it's done.

His crystal ball definitely needs a tune-up.

How's that? No, it's actually not a confrontational question - I just
don't understand how it could take over a month to establish who's got
control.

The race in Virginia - between another Republican incumbent, Senator George
Allen, and Jim Webb, his Democratic challenger - was so close that some
officials said it would have to be resolved by a recount.
That prospect could mean prolonged uncertainty over control of the Senate,
since a recount can be requested only after the results are officially
certified on Nov. 27th, according to the state board of elections. Last year
a recount in the race for Attorney General was not resolved until Dec. 21.

Well, I was just going by what the pundits said.
The last time there was a recount -- and it wasn't
a high stakes race with a national impact -- the
final result was certified on December 22nd.
And it was only that quick because under Virginia law
there's no appeal.
Look. The Democrat is in the lead. So the Republicans
are going to sufficate them in a mountain of lawyers,
challenging every vote, trying to disqualify anyone who
so much as looks Democratic.
The Democrats will do the same. Even worse, there
were a number of election "irregularities" reported,
dirty tricks, some of them constituting crimes -- all
aimed at the Democrats. Which means, yeah, the
Democratic lawyers will be flinging it at the Republicans
even as the Republicans are throwing it at them.
This is what the neo-cons turned "democracy" into here
in America. You see, one of them knows this guy who
lived next to a man who's ex wife was friends with a
women who frequented a coffee shop where one of the
waiters told her that he overheard a customer tell a
friend that his sister in law told his wife that the Democrats
once stole an election.
Why, golly, with THAT kind of proof the neo-cons are
justified in ANYTHING they do, no matter how sleazy
or illegal!
BOTH SIDES ARE DOING IT!
Just ask the man who knows this guy who lived next
to someone whose ex wife was friends with a women who
frequented a coffe shop where the waiter told her that he
overheard a customer tell a friend about how his wife
heard it from her sister in law.
He'll tell you!
Think I'm making this up?
For years & years, like many cities, the city of Philadelphia
never purged it's voter list.
Why?
In order to vote, you have to register. You have to place
yourself on the voter list. But there's never been a requirement
that you take yourself off, like when you move... or die.
Anyhow, Philadelphia's voter list grew & grew, and because
like most major northeastern cities it was mostly Democratic
(as opposed to the affluent & Republican suburbs), there
eventually reached a point where the voting list was about twice
as large as the number of actual voters, mostly Democrats,
and all the extras where people who moved away or died over
the years.
Dead people? On the voters list? DEAD PEOPLE ARE
VOTING IN PHILADELPHIA!!!!!!
Oh, believe me, the neo-cons circulated millions of articles
on this subject, many implying that it somehow justified the
theft of Florida in 2000.
Two big issues with this. The first is that, although Philadephia's
voting list grew beyond the number of voters, it doesn't mean
that the number of votes cast grew with it.
They didn't. Votes did not grow with the ever increasing
number of dead people on the list.
If you counted the number of actual votes cast, and checked
it against the voting age population, only about 50% (or less)
of Philadelphia's voting age population was voting.
That's LOW. That's BELOW average.
The second issue is that the Republican names of the voter
list were growing, too. There were fewer Republicans in
Philadelphia than Democrats, which isn't the least bit unusual
for a major northeastern city, but no Republicans were
being purged from the voting list either.
Even so, and without a SINGLE actual example of a "dead
person" ever having voted -- never mind an election being
swung one way or the other because of dead people -- the
Philadelphia example was cited again & again & again &
again by neo-cons.
"See? Look at all the dead people the Democrats are
casting votes for!"
