Just to be clear, if Ds hang onto either house, we are calling it a victory.
Advertisements [?]If Ds hang onto both Houses, we are calling it a complete rejection of the R. point of view.
Right?
DU, please tell me how to think!

16. When I was a defense attorney...
...a verdict that came back with less liability than the prosecutor's best offer was a victory. I think the Ds holding off the predicted R landslide will be a victory in reality.

19. Well, in your expert opinion as a defense attorney...
what would you call it when you practically sweep a party off the map, elect a hugely popular president with a historic mandate and give him both houses of Congress with the largest majorities in a generation... and then piss that all away in just two years?

26. The OP was about spinning it
and it appears you're going with the Republicans.
The DUmmie way. When someone says something you don't like, you call them a Republican.

30. "Spinning it"
yeah a euphemism for "fooling yourself". How hard is it for Democrats to say that if they lost it might just be because they didn't do a good enough job? Wait I know the answer... IT'S TOO FUCKING HARD. It'll be easier to blame the gays.
Shit... reality is starting to seep through the cracks for some.

12. As long as we hold on to the presidency
we'll call it a victory regardless of outcome. The more expectations are raised for the repukes, the easier it will be to paint this as a "victory" for us.
Well don't worry then. When you wake up tomorrow, you'll have your victory. :rolleyes:

20. You mean we control both houses now?
Could have fooled me...
You mean you guys didn't pass a crippling Stimulus and Health Care bill through nothing but Dem votes? That's good news.
