		<description>ridiculous having to page down forever to get from box to button... otherwise I'd agree that it would be nice if that were hidden unless someone wants to pop it up/open to see the long list ... Not sure how much of that is open options under the wordpress system</description>

		<description>Just wanted to point out that on the FP the update about Mary Jo Kilroy winning shows up, but when seeing this page it doesn't.  Not sure why that is, but if updates aren't showing on the actual page that's probably a bug of some kind...

Oh, and how about making that long list of HTML you can use a dropdown menu so it's collapsed by default and easy to lookup since each command would be on a row by itself, or use javascript to hide the list though I run with javascript disabled for most sites.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;This validates my thinking that 2010 is going to less be about anything the GOP says, and more about voters acting to try and reign in the worst impulses of Obama/Reid/Pelosi.&lt;/i&gt;


Yes, I do see some blowback against the Trimvirate of Suckitude in 2010. But in order to end up with a repeat of '94, we will have to &lt;b&gt;be&lt;/b&gt; a repeat of '94-a unified party with a unified theme of what we want to accomplish.</description>

		<description>The LA-04 seat is exactly the kind of seat we were losing just 4-6 months ago. Now we're starting to win these kinds of seats again. 

This validates my thinking that 2010 is going to less be about anything the GOP says, and more about voters acting to try and reign in the worst impulses of Obama/Reid/Pelosi. 

In fact, I'd argue that these recent 3 election results show that people are already starting to grab any levers that they can get their hands on to slow this train down, at the same time that Obama's most fervent supporters don't seem very excited about trying to help him out. 

These are all absolutely fabulous signs going forward.</description>

		<description>that Republicans shouldn't get too giddy about these wins.

The Chambliss victory, however, was encouraging.  Democrats had a lot of momentum and sent a lot of heavy hitters into Georgia for that runoff.  If anything, you might have thought the Republicans in Georgia would have beem demoralized and might not have turned out for the special election.  Democrats on the other hand could almost taste a 60 seat supermajority in the Senate and were energized.  Yet Chambliss emerged with a 14pt victory.

It is also significant that Chambliss gave so much credit to Palin's late appearances with him.  It helped to break the cycle of negative news about Sarah and supports the fact that she will remain a powerful draw for the party.</description>

		<description>Must be a slow day, but I digress. I don't think it is time to get too excited because we ousted a disgraced Dem and won a couple of seats. Starting in 2006 we've lost more congressional seats than I care to count and the presidency by an overwhelming margin. Let's concentrate on finding our footing.</description>

		<description>Obama's election seems to be leading to the exact same scenario that Clinton's '92 election did - Democrat loss after Democrat loss. 

I don't know if there are any special elections looming between now and the '09 Governor's races, but I'd watch those results closely, especially if they are in the mountain states, the upper midwest, or the mid-Atlantic up through New England - if the Dems start losing House (or Senate) special elections in any of those places, it will be significant. 

And if the Dems lose both the VA and NJ Governor's races next year, I'd be quite willing to predict that 2010 will be 1994, Part Deux.</description>

		<description>...seems to be exclusive to one Barack Hussein Obama.  It was a big win for him, but it doesn't seem to really have affected the landscape at large in politics.

It also leaves Obama in a sticky situation.  He's either going to end up with a monument on the Washington Mall or he's going to be remembered as being as ineffectual (and short-serving) as Carter.  I don't see much middle ground.</description>

		<description>The Daily-Krap crowd, Code-Pink, etc... all are expressing "dismay" (see/hear them all over whining and moaning) at Obama's current lack of "bowing at their feet" and they may be pulling support to "send a message" (they have an operating majority in Democrats and have the luxury of not having to add more, in fact ensure no more get elected to send that message) to Oblahblah and the Socialists... er... Progressives... in Washington. Maybe a stretch, but yesterdays discussion regarding LA yielded talk about DailyKrap having glee in Dollar Bill Jefferson's loss.</description>
