		<description>"But we should all be thankful on this Thanksgiving Day that republican rule and the republican drive towards socialism (or at least the socialization of corporate loss) has come to an end."

Oh really?  You obviously have not spent much time in Washington, or if you have you didn't learn much from it.  Be thankful for that.  Its good however that you did specify Republican drive to socialization of loss, because it's only going to be replaced with the Democratic socialization of same.  If you think Washington is going to magically change on January 20th, your going to be tragically disappointed about next July 4th.  

Your are right however, that just about all of us, on both sides, have seen enough corporate charity, remains to be seen whether or not the beltway elite has however.

Despite your own obvious partisanship, you're are quite right that Lieberman may indeed hold the key.  That would explain  of course, the magnanimous gesture Of Obama overruling Ried's threat to punish him.
It also evidences that Reid is, in fact, a dunce.

And by the way, a deadlocked Congress is not always a bad thing, neither party these days seem to have the corner on inspired leadership and the less they do sometimes, the better off we all are.</description>

		<description>In all the huff-and-puff about the MN election, you're all overlooking a couple of very important facts.  First, the closer the Senate comes to a 60-dem majority, the more powerful Joe Lieberman becomes.  While a filibuster-proof majority is certainly a worthwhile goal, it is hardly worth making a king of Joe the liar, because we all know which side he'll come down on in a pinch (and it ain't the dems).

Second, the closer the dems come to a filibuster-proof majority, the louder all you discredited and routed repubs scream about the lack of 'post partisan' behavior on the part of the dems and specifically, Obama.  The American people still, even after the last eight years of one-sided politics and crime, believe in basic fairness, and using the filibuster-proof majority to achieve any goal, no matter how noble or good for the country, will be cast as pure partisan politics by the losing republican side. (Time after time, republicans have shown they are much better being in the minority and fighting as underdogs.)

The irony of this election -- and the next -- is that we are better off with the Democratic party with fewer than 60 votes in the Senate.  If Obama can't muster a few votes from the other side of the aisle, we will continue to see the same bickering and stalemate that has gotten us into this mess, only from the opposing viewpoint.  

So, if either or both Coleman and Chambliss prevail and we reach 2010 without significant progress, Joe the liar and his republican friends won't stand a chance.  Its too bad in the end, because Franken and Martin would be infinitely superior Senators.  We've seen what Coleman and Chambliss are all about -- and it isn't the best interests of this Nation.

But we should all be thankful on this Thanksgiving Day that republican rule and the republican drive towards socialism (or at least the socialization of corporate loss) has come to an end.</description>

		<description>The direct election of the Senate was brought about by corruption of state legislatures by corporate interests. 

Under the Constitution, each house has the authority to decide the election and qualifications of its membership.  In addition, the Senate was not intended to be another house of popular opinion.  Harry Reid would in fact, have every right to call a vote of the Senate on the issue.

What better a civics lesson then to demonstrate what happens when an uninformed, bovine, star struck populace allows incompetent, yet powerful leaders  to rule.

Harry Reid and Al Franken.  The mind boggles.</description>

		<description>The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they established the election of Senators by the Legislatures. The Senators were to represent the states. I believe two things have brought us to the position and condition we are in at this time. The direct election of Senators and the creation of the Federal Reserve System.
