    Freakin' amazing. I guess he doesn't have a job or anything else that would impede him from "voting a couple of times."

    the only thing that mattered was the super-majority in the Senate ... thank God the GOP was able to hold on to enough seats.

    GIRDLOCK ................. OH GLORIOUS GRIDLOCK!

  3. You are a complete fucking idiot. I don't know one conservative supporting Obama. And no, Colin Powell is not a conservative.

    Even better, Black Panthers (or someone else posing as security guards) at the polls in Philly.

  7. That's IT? He's an anti Bush vote at best. Nice try.

    Would you or someone else care to expand on your comments to help us non-US bloggers get a clearer understanding of the implications regarding the Obama win.

    Thanks in advance

    I'm conservative on many issues. I also voted for Obama.

    Reason being that McCain is not a real conservative on any of the issues I care about (budget, immigration, civil liberties), and if we're not voting on concrete issues then Obama was the obvious choice.

    If the Democrats get 60 of 100 seats in the Senate then there is no method or procedure the Republicans could use to delay or obstruct legislation in any way. In the Senate one can filibuster legislation, and it takes 60 votes to end a filibuster.

    However the chances of that were always pretty low, the Democrats would really have to get 61 seats (Joe Lieberman is counted as a Democrat but isn't actually). It's a pretty rare thing imo.
