My American friend who told me in 2004 that Obama would be President

[malaise]

in 2008 just told me to save this:
November Senate elections

Democrats=50
Republicans=47
Independents=3(Florida,Connecticut and Vermont)

November House elections

Democrats= 220
Republicans=215

1. Are we talking

for 2010?

[malaise]

3. Yep

I think Dems will take a few more house seats but he's usually right.

2. Well, that will be a recipe for gridlock...

but better than having the RETHUGs take control.... Guess we'll see. Who is the indie from Connecticut? (yes, I could google...)

4. Think of a traitor named Joe

And you'll know who our "Independent" is.

5. Duhhh.... (In my defense, I literally just woke up)

:blush:

[nevergiveup]

6. Sounds about right

The next couple of years are going to be pure hell.

7. We can live with that.

In the senate we know Bernie Sanders will caucus with the Dems. I don't see Joe going to the Republicans if they are not the majority. He wants to keep his Chairmanship. I hope if Charlie Crist wins in FL that he will also caucus with the Dems. Charlie likes to be on the winning team and he is not a lockstep right wing nut job. If the Dems change the rules on filibustering then we can get some work done in the senate.

We can only hope.

8. This looks better than the projections ive been hearing about
