		Dems have the House sewn up, and last I checked the Senate was heading due blue. 
Folks, it's looking mighty quantum.  Now if only we Californians have the collective sense to get rid of the Governator.

		Hrm.  While some of gov. Schwarzeneggar's policies -are- controversial, I do admire the way he persues said policies.  Some of them would not be so controversial if certain other heads of state were not so stupid about issues like immigrations (cast's the hairy eyeball in Dubbya's driection). 
That said, I'm fine with Schwartzeneggar.  Arnold's everything Bush wishes he could be.  A man with good moral character.  He's worked very hard to get to where he is in the world today - life was certainly not handed to him on a silver platter as it was with Bush. 
As for the Senate turning Blue - damn glad to hear it.  Nothing against Republicans, but hasn't anyone around here noticed that when our Government's leaning entirley to one side or the other that nothing good ever gets accomplished?  Black Aeronaut Technologies Group, LLC

		How long until the Republicans become the ones shouting for electronic voting machines to be more thoroughly tested and secured?  While they were in power it was, "oh, no, they're good enough as they are", but now... 
Just looking forward to a likely trend.

Rumsfield is out - being replaced by former CIA head Robert Gates. 
I'm sure the recounts in Virginia will get some play on the electronic machines.

		Personally, I'm surprised no one's been executed for what's been going on with the voting machines.  Absolutely no excuse for thousands of votes to suddenly flip from Kerrey to Bush.  And that's the funny thing, too - not a single one flipped from Bush to Kerrey.  If they had done that then it certainly would have looked a lot more accidental, wouldn't it?

		Arnie is no mere governor, he is the Governator.  
All jest aside, California is prosperous and growing economically. He checks the Legislature and the Legislature checks him and we get on with our lives.

		And THAT's the important thing: Ahnuld has a legislature that isn't hanging on every word he says like he's a divine prophet. I'm glad to see Dubya finally have this "problem."  
Also, despite the bodybuilder stereotype, Governor Schwarzeneggar (Which means "Tills the Black soil, IIRC") is an intelligent man. I'm also glad to see a First Generation American do so well. Remember, Arnie's immigration policies aren't hypocrisy: he immigrated legally.

		Though I certainly wouldn't mind seeing something done about the current immigration policies.  It'd be interesting to see us go back to the policies we had...  Oh, I forget when, sometime like Post-WWI, when anyone coming accross the border was processed,indoctrinated, taught to read and speak english, and then made citizens. 
Of course, if we did that, then our immigration centers would be inundated and there would be no more cheap labor.  Hence, why Bush doesn't really want to do much about immigration.  He is, after all, a capitolist.  Black Aeronaut Technologies Group, LLC

Ah, but what's the fun of arguing politics if there's no chance of offense? 
Then again, I just read an  AP story, which reported that an Idaho man (Republican) was charged with aggravated assault and faces 5 years in prison after he pulled a knife and threatened to stab a co-worker (Democrat) while the two were arguing over politics. The assailant told his co-worker that "Democrats cheat and lie," and didn't take kindly the response: "All politicians lie and cheat."

Republican party is the same as saying the rest of the news  
media is the propaganda arm of the democratic party.

		In all honesty, both statements are.  
However I really hate it when people start bringing  
out the 'unenlightened' word. It usually translate to me  
as 'not brainwashed'.  
Now before things get out of hand just ask yourself this 
as an example: 
Can you honestly say that if a Republicain Senator had said what John Kerry said about the army during the elections, he would ahve gotten the same amount and type ofplay in the  
non-fox media  that Kerry did?
