say goodbye to free(ish/er) trade and hello to populist protectionism
flame away
.
free trade went away with the indusrty written energy and medicaid bills.
Why do you say that? KY was just called for the Repub. VA and MO looks like they will stay Repub. (pending later developments. Both races are tight). How will the Dems pick up their needed 3?
I wish it were true but right now it looks like it’s either going to be a 50R-50D Senate, or a 51R-49D Senate, bring us back to where we were.

KY did not go to Northup, it went to he ultra-lib, proven liar Yarmouth…shudder and Talent lost in MO.

I wasn’t aware that Kentucky had a Senate seat up for election this year. Amazing that the media missed that one.
And at the moment, both VA and MT (I assume you meant Montana, and not Missouri which went Democrat) are being led by Democrats.
“Your absolutism political views no longer represent the country. Conservative democrats won and so did liberal republicans.”
Actually the vote on either side didn’t represent the country. It is estimated that only 40% of the U.S. population voted. Very sad if you ask me. I wonder how many illegal voters voted.
That was a House of Rep race.
No, I meant what I typed. At the time I submitted my post Talent was leading but obviously by not enough of a margin.
I think the ‘big newspaper’ industry is going to have a banner year next year.

Did you also mean “KY was just called for the Repub”?
My mistake. I thought I saw that somewhere.
Friggin’ Internet…
As i said in another post from the Colbert Report:
“Tomorrow you’re all going to wake up in a Brave New World, a world where the constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones created in a stem cell research lab run by homosexual doctors who sterilize their instruments over burning American flags. Where Tax and Spend Democrats take all your hard-earned money and use it to buy electric cars for National Public Radio and teach evolution to illegal immigrants. Oh, and everybody’s high! Whoo! I’ve had it! You people don’t deserve a Republican majority. Screw this, I quit!”

The DSCC released this statement on the two uncalled races:
Both Jon Tester and Jim Webb have won their races in Montana and Virginia but want to make sure that every vote is counted. We expect to have official results soon but can happily declare today that Democrats have taken the majority in the U.S. Senate.
Montana Vote Situation: Jon Tester leads Conrad Burns by approximately 1,700 votes (as of 11am EDT) and counting. In Silver Bow County (Butte), a Democratic stronghold, votes are still being counted but Tester is winning there with 66% of the vote. We expect to gain the majority of these uncounted votes and to add to Tester’s margin.
Montana Process: When the counting phase is completed, a canvass will verify the vote tallies. That process could take as long as 48 hours, and must begin within three days and end within seven. Unless the canvass shows the margin to be within 1Ž4 of 1%, there is no recount. As the loser, Burns would have to request the recount. When the votes are all counted, we expect to be outside that recount margin.
Virginia Vote Situation: Jim Webb is up by approximately 8,000 votes and once the provisional ballots are counted, we expect Webb’s margin to increase. (Please note that VA absentees were included in the tallies from last night.)
Virginia Process: A canvass is underway to verify the results and we expect that process to finish within a day or so. To be in recount, the margin needs to be less than 1% and Allen (as the loser) would have to request it. Because of Virginia voting laws, the margin would have to be much tighter than it currently is to see any change in the outcome. Given the current margins, that is highly, highly unlikely.
