Not enough liquor in the house...

We thought about it. But we also thought about waking up tomorrow and taking it all in in one big gulp - kind of like a giant tetanus shot.

So... dunno!

Lets not forget the governorships that are up for grabs. I think the dems do good there. I think the house falls to the dems and the republicans may pick up some senate seats.

"House Falls to the Dems"
At least you got the sentiment and terminology correct.

95% chance now the Dems take the house. Dems looking good for picking up important governorships as well. Like Kansas...

Guam is like Puerto Rico, a commonwealth, a U.S. territory. They too are struggling with the U.S. relationship. They are citizens, Americans, who serve in the military. But they want their independence; one of the main reasons - they are treated like second class citizens on their own island.

Sound familiar?

There is a military base there (I believe it's Naval).



More on Guam........

Funny, sad...but true.

Herez sumthing to think about:

How likely iz it that Putin shut down hiz wildly seksesful election interferens operation for the mid-termz? Or at least scaled it down to nearly nothing?

Wut if it wuz just much sneekyer? In the interest uv getting away with it, he didnt do anything to call attention to the rezults - just tweeked them in sum key rasez, just enuf to keep hiz puppet in the Oval Ofis.

In other wordz, he coud hav had the GoPs win every rase, completely taken over Congress and all the other offisez that were voted on, but that woud be so obvious that it woud fors action.

Insted, let the Demz take the house, but just enuf to keep from razing suspicion. Sum uv the Guvernorz rasez that were close, tweek them to put the GoP ahed by a small amount.

A solid stratejy.
Its wut I woud do.
