Live Election Blogging 2
2141 – We keep moving closer and closer to our goal of retaking the house or senate or both. I think that it is still too early (and I’ve been burned too many times) to start thinking about a takeover. But let me tell you, it’s been 12 long years. 12 years we’ve had to live under the iron fist of brutality and corruption that republicans have brought down upon our amazing country.
We need to capture three more seats in the senate to take control of it. We need 11 more seats for House control. These are not lofty goals, but they will still be difficult to obtain. It’s tough to do what the republicans did 12 years ago. It takes intense organization, passion, and money. In the end, I believe that people are concerned about Iraq, et cetera, but that may not be enough to drive the ruling party out, especially as the Dems are spread on the issue. Should we withdraw now or later? Should we set timetables? I don’t know if it is necessary to define this information right now, but I do believe we need a balance of power so we can have a true discussion and debate about these very important issues.
It’s quarter to ten right now, and I plan to keep watching, hopefully posting one more update before heading to bed. I feel hopeful now, hopeful at least that we can start to make headways in republican power, and start to make a difference for America.
