Nov 2, "Tsunami" Midterm Election
 
What election coverage will you be watching? Fox, CNN or MSNBC? I will be switching between CNN and MSNBC after the Miami heat game. Any predictions? Deacon has predicted a "Tsunami", yeah right. Post your reaction to election day coverage and results here people. I'll be up late into the night. (maybe)

There's no sense in getting all shook up about it now. What's done is done. I won't be following it.

I won't be home until some time between 9 and 10 EST.
We'll watch FOX.

Predictions?

Prediction number 1:
Republican gains in House and Senate but not a veto proof majority.

Prediction number 2:
lots of posturing and pontificating but not much action by the legislature with its new makeup.
Obamacare will not be reversed, rescinded, or revised
No Marriage amendment
No repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Bush Tax cuts reinstated by Legislature but vetoed by President
Less bailouts and stimulus legislation for the next two years
no impeachment of President
I think this will be pretty much of a "do nothing" legislature resulting in a backlash against Republicans in 2012 and re-election of BHO should he choose to run

Unfortunately you're probably right. But that's better than cap and trade and card check passing. And just maybe we can lower our unemployment rate. I'd really like my husband to be making money.

And what exactly is "his agenda"......


Obama: Agenda 'all at risk' in any Republican romp

WASHINGTON — Even with voting already under way, President Barack Obama furiously worked the phones to urban-format radio stations Tuesday, arguing that his agenda would be "all at risk" if Republicans trampled Democrats.

Exactly !!!! What about the peoples agenda ? If the people vote Republicans in then isn't it obvious that the people don't approve of "his agenda" ??

I'm not going to watch MSNBC....I don't want to take the risk of listening to Matthews talk about getting more tingles.
Hasn't he ever heard of depends anyway?

I've listened more to local radio then the TV.

Republicans take the House. Is this the tsunami everyone expected?
