"That one": why not be charitable? McCain was just showing his age: couldn't remember who he was talking about. Kind of like his "my fellow prisoners" moment a few days later.Wright? still at it, without having the decency to mention McCain's ties to Hagee? Ayers seems to have managed to turn a new leaf: he wouldn't be on important committees if he was still seen as some kind of radical, would he?And if Linda is going to get so hot under the collar on that one, maybe she should explain Sarah's ties to the Alaska Independence Party, which seems to have been the source of some pretty anti-American statements.And yeah: I guess it is better that Sarah's church only practices exorcisms & has protected her from witchcraft, while McCain's friend Hagee seems to hate Catholics...What seems to be interesting is blaming Obama for winning black votes because of his colour, but not explaining what the Republicans have done to actually attract voters from any visible minority. Last time I looked, there didn't seem to be many black Republican governors, members of Congress or the Senate. And that wouldn't have anything to do with it, of course.How much does Linda get paid to write such drivel?

For geoff- do all left wing nuts like you always double enter their idiotic drivel? Just wonderin'.

Jim W: "Always"? Evidently not. This seems to be the first time you've noticed, so... either that suggests I'm not a "left wing nut" or that you're exaggerating just a tad.Just wondering: which "idiotic drivel" did you mean? the thing about Sarah being protected against witches? her ties to this anti-American Alaskan Independence Party? The racism inherent in GOP policies for at least the past century?

I love it! You Republicans can't stand to be behind. Calls of cheating, imbalanced criticism in the media not to mention calls of everything from racism to fear mongering. All I have to say is for you you all to sit back, stfu and watch how it should be done. You had control over the last six years and screwed us royally. And don't go giving the old, "Well, the Dems are in charge and have done nothing so far." I guess you all failed high school civics and don't realize that a 2/3 majority is required for anything to pass.So, now with Barrack Obama soon to take the reigns, we won't need you GOP lame asses anymore.

patrick, sorry but, in civics you learn that 2/3 majority is only needed for special occasions, such as a veto override, or amending the constitution, not regular voting on simple bills and resolutions. Simple majority is needed for those two, which is why it was a big deal that democrats won the majority, now they could do something; yet, they didn't, they, along with republicans, have, and most likely will continue to spend freely, putting our country into massive debt. Looks like you didn't do too well in high school civics yourself.

Lechtenberg--You need to go deeper into your civics book. In the Senate it takes 60 votes to break a filibuster. If the Senate doesn't have 60 votes the status quo (what is currently in effect) stays.That's why it's a republic and not a democracy.
