She won’t have a chance at the seat.

When all the absentee, etc., ballots are finished being counted, Begich will win. All the remaining ballots are from Begich majority districts. Stevens is a goner.

That’s interesting. I wonder, does that Act use a different definition of Congress being in session that the one on which the Ds have been relying to forestall recess appointments? Hope so, because if not, they would seem to be treading a bit into cake-eating-but-also-having territory there.

Oh-oh, Bmaz, you haven’t finished reading the secret stealth agenda manual yet, have you? You’re all European Socialists now, and European Socialists have a dress code. And speedos are de rigeur.

Hey, nobody said wrecking America would be a cakewalk…

Good point. Today’s Repubs seem to be rather lost in that ‘reality’ they created to feed their egos and justify their looting and theft; given what they’ve perpetrated, viewing the world as it is must be a terrifying prospect.

(And as Sully observes, it IS a struggle simply to see clearly what is in front of one’s nose. He’s way ahead of wingnuttia conservatives.)

Freep, thx for your most excellent cleanup skills.

princess pandora is a lot dumber than tricky dick, but today’s repuglitard party is a lot dumber too

I feel like I’m quoting scripture to my own purpose here.

He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate open. -Rabindranath Tagore

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy. Rabindranath Tagore

Wondering why she isn’t going to GA for Chambliss, especially since she is in the vicinity. Could it be what is left of the McCain camp didn’t want her to steal the spotlight while Mac is stumping for Saxby?

She’s a beauty pageant queen. Why would she have any self-reflexivity? It’s all about maintaining your posture, isn’t it?

I’m struck in watching palin’s post-election interviews that she is decidely NOT self-reflexive. She blames primarily the media and other rogues, but does not critique herself. For example, she doesn’t relate the trashing of her to her trashing of others like Obama, professor Rashid Khalidi, Bill Ayers and the rest of us unpatriotic ’souls’.

She in also intellectually lazy, as noted in an earlier thread…(paraphraseed) “Just give me bullet points and I’ll run with it.”

So, if and when God cracks open the door for her to make a comeback, it will probably be the same non-thinking attack dog coming through. She doesn’t seem to have the capacity for intellectual growth…

One of her coherts made an interesting point. In Alaskan papers, only named sources are used; no unnamed sources are quoted. Therefore, there were few criticism of her in the press. She was entirely unprepared for the ananomous attacks in the lower 48, and was rendered almost helpless. She had not had to deal with that before. No wonder she wanted to go back to Alaska…
