Looks like Al Franken is going to go down. I didn't expect this to happen but this is a HUGE victory and will help defeat some of the welfare coalition's plans in the next 2-4 years.
Solace for Conservatives
- Thread starter dr. freeze
- Start date
Will be interesting to see if Republicans play hard ball in the Senate or cave. In two years it will be a huge Republican gain in the House and Senate, so treading water for 2 years will be a big deal.
Yes, that freak Al Franken being defeated is a HUGE victory!
Those 'welfare coalition' folks will just have to wait for a few years.
Looks like it will be 42 votes. With the 2 socialist Republicans from Maine, it will be hard to filibuster. We need Gordon Smith to pull it out in Oregon but it looks like he will lose. Stevens has an outside shot in Alaska. Best case scenario is he wins and somehow Palin gets in there.
Filibustering the defeat of a National Civilian Armed Forces (aka Brownshirts) is a pretty huge victory IMO.
Crap its almost tied up again with 80% reporting.
Probably will go to Franken.
We are screwed.
I am going to bed.
Bad day.

When you're banking on a convicted felon to make the senate filibuster proof, you might need to re-think your priorities.
Well you also have Lieberman who is a wild card - after the Dem leadership punishes him he may well caacus with the Rs..
Don't know what the NCAF(aka brownshirts) is, but how Franken is even close to becoming a senator is baffling.
Stevens has no chance...if he had been smart he would have said if he wins he will resign but he was too greedy for that...ironically even though he would seem to be guilty most legal observers think his conviction will get tossed on appeal
I'm not familiar with the NCAF, or whatever.
I assume it's some socialist, communist, collectivist, anarchist thing or something?
Most 'legal observers', huh? Those observers figure his felonies will get 'tossed.'
Uh, no.
