1. ENERGIZED
I think the flap the bush republicans have started is energizing the democrats. If they are like me they are so damn mad they want to march to the polls right this minute and kick the bastar*s out....I'm ready and I'm all fired up --- get those republicans out. And don't let em back til we get a new bunch of more civilized ones like we used to have years ago. We don't need people like this running our government.

3. I hope you realize that posting this ...
... is going to absolutely ruin the night for the "Karl Rove has this whole election in the bag already" crowd.

Gotta hand it to the Pig Boy, though - at least he has the foresignt to start blaming everyone else for the loss of this election even BEFORE it's a done deal.

I'll bet he has all of his War on Christmas shopping done already, too.

4. turnabout's fair play
if i read another one about how invincible KR and his machines are, i may start banging my head against the keyboard. (wake up and smell the good news, people--we do *want* to win, right?)

no doubt we will get lots of bogus explanations of how it was all about Foley or some minor technical detail, rather than the across-the-board failure, corruption, dishonesty, and waste we have seen from the Republicans at every level.

6. I hear ya!
Watching the Larry King show the other night, he had some RW and Lib bloggers on to discuss the obvious topic.

What I found really pathetically amusing was Lars Larsen (?), RWer, who was talking about "mistakes being made by the GOP, and if the voters would just give them another shot, they'd come through with shining colours".

All I could think about was a battering husband saying, "Come home, honey, I swear it will all be different this time. I'll be a good husband and father, honest to God."

When all you've got to offer your former supporters is a promise to do better, it's blatantly obvious that you have done NOTHING right in the past to point to.

Buh bye, Republicans. Don't let democracy hit you in the ass on your way out.

9. All things considered Rove's doing a pretty good job.
Trying to sell the Republican's morally bankrupt political agenda to the American people is like trying to make ice cream out of cowshit. The fact the GOP is polling above 10% is a sign that Rove must be doing something right.

10. This is going to be nearly as fun as watching Rove being frog marched
out of the White House. Maybe more humiliating if the Gop goes down like we expect. Because if he were indicted, then he would be seen as a martyr by some. This way the American people humiliate him, not just prosecuter.
How sweet it is!!!!!!

12. "it'll be the candidates' fault, not mine" - Rove about losing, in the WaPo
http://www.prospect.org/horsesmouth/2006/10/post_415.html

perhaps this one deserves its own thread.
