I'll bet they seat him tomorrow. That's what they have done in the past in MA. He won by 100,000 out of 2,000,000 votes in one of the latest turn outs in MA history.
A group of dems just announced they will do nothing until he is seated. To screw with the process, after this message, would be suicide.
I believe Pelosi is mentally unbalanced and will try something. I mean this in a literal sense. It will be to the detriment of the radical democrats in power.
This has got to be one of the greatest American tragedies. What do the top ten cities with the highest poverty rate have in common?

Cincinnati, OH (3rd)hasn't elected a Republican Mayor since 1984.
Cleveland, OH (4th) hasn't elected a Republican Mayor since 1989.
Miami, FL (5th) has never elected a Republican Mayor
St.Louis, MO, (6th) hasn't elected a Republican Mayor since 1949.
El Paso, TX (7th) has never elected a Republican Mayor
Milwaukee, WI (8th) hasn't elected a Republican Mayor since 1908

Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results>"
It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats - yet are still disadvantaged.
Opinion: the disadvantaged remain disadvantaged because they are looking for a liberal democratic government to give them something, when all they have to do is work for it.
(how can a person be 5th generation and still disadvantaged in this country?)
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream."
hee heee heeee.... Watched it on the 12" garage tv while I put Whitey (aka, the uly) back together after a 5000 mile service... all in all, it was a pretty good/fun evening.
capping it off with a Sam Adams Winter Lager makes it damn near perfect!
I live in Massachusetts, and, to me it seemed like if you voted for one candidate, you were voting for Wall St.(and their overly excessive bonuses) and if you voted for the other candidate, you were voting to increase Chinese influence in U.S. government. It was an election where there was nobody to vote for; just finding the one to vote against. As much as I hate the Insurance industry and despise their gluttonous greed and business practices, I'm more disturbed by how China will use this country to their benefit while we merrily ride the train to hell.
just watched his victory speech and there you have your hope and change possibly. time will tell. good thing is, it's a start to a whole new senate and making status quo a thing of the past.
At the Second Battle of El Alamein (October 23 – November 4, 1942) Allied forces broke the Axis line and forced them all the way back to Tunisia. Winston Churchill said of this victory: "Now this is not the end, nor is it even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." He also wrote "Before Alamein, we had no victory and after it we had no defeats".
Couldn't have said it better m'self.

Living in NY, you must be in a party to vote in that party's primary. So, I register with the party that has the race I'm most interested in influencing. Last cycle Hillary was a lock ( at the deadline to change registration ) so I voted against the other dem candidate, McCain.
Vote out the incumbents is a good idea. If it's in office, it probably has already screwed you.
