You guys must be cyber ovulating right now. I could see the glow, I almost touched the computer screen

^I don't think they could do any worse than the republicans. Obviously, alot is riding on how they manage the country in the first couple of years. Obama was wise enough to say it wasn't gonna be a cakewalk. That said, they promised too many things and they better deliver by making a major changes. The trick is would those changes pay any dividends before the next round of congressional elections come around. My gut feeling is probably not, but they could fare better if they chose their policies/programs cleverly. I think it would be bad idea if they try mend the healthcare systems (though Kennedy is pushing hard for that). They could take on rebuilding the decaying infrastructure, and start on the energy dilemma. These would be programs that would create jobs and revitalize the economy, and therefore create enough cushion for the dems. As for Obama, I don't think he is miracle worker. I just appreciate his success for its historical significance and I believe he along with the dems would do a better job on issues of butter and bread but other than he was just another candidate meaning he is beholden to his backers.And I hope and I say this loosely that the policies on the horn would change. And in regards to the republicans, I want them to be reconstituted, obviously not right way but in time. But my hope is they expand their base, change the old guard, and reflect/embrace America's diversity.

I think Powell shouldn't be in his cabinet.

Gheelle.T Carter was not bad, he was just wrong man for the presidency. Two things made impossible for his administration to get anything done, the first thing the man and his Georgian boys who lacked the experience and temperament micro-managed everything from proposed bills, to amendments, and to how departments were run. One needs to delegate and be flexible enough to get anything passed. His second flaw was his complete contempt for the D.C establishment which any president needs in order to move any agenda.He naively thought he could clean up the place like he did in Georgia and at the same, have his policies passed. You don't badmouth the very people you need. He did had few successes and sadly all those came about as result of procedural changes within agencies the most notably the HHS then headed by Joseph Califano. I had an opportunity to meet Kip O'Neill and people that worked for his father Tip O'Neill among them a teacher of mine, they all agreed he wasn't bad executive in many ways, it was just his moral posturing and his reluctance to work with D.C that did him in. Obama won't suffer either of these situations but he does need well oiled machine. Loooooooooo@ NGONGE..Let it go,

^It is not matter of them coming back or not. It is matter of changing their ideological stances and making structural changes. They can no longer sustain themselves by relying heavily on white evangelical base as this country's demographics is changing, and more of northern transplants and immigrants are moving to States that were usually reliably republican. They would have to stop pandering to minorities and actually start promoting, cultivating and helping minority candidates in getting elected to local, state and federal legislatures, no more token position like of that Rice and Colin Powell though the historical significance and the precedence of their appointments. In short, the Reps must just not be white rich boys club.

Rahm Emmanuel has accepted the position as the Chief of Staff, an effective manager who shall ensure smooth transition. Likely Dems Secretaries: Tom Daschle -Sectary of State Governor Janet Napolitano- Attorney General Jeff Bingaman-Energy Jesse Jackson Jr.- Transportation Likely Reps Sen. Chuck Hagel- Defense Richard Lugar? Arnold Schwarzenegger-Energy

The republicans have now become White Southern Party with no reps in New England,, big losses in the industrial Midwest, significant loss in the west, and of course Virginia.

^Glad you are doing good. All is well here.LoooooL@liberal...yup who knew Massachusetts was gonna make comeback like this..the new Camelot turning the below Dixie Mason line blue..Interesting indeed.General Lee must be turning in his grave but what does this do for Maryooley land?

^Waraa, aren't you living here illegally How have you been?

Would they be reduced to regional party much like Massachusetts Republicans(white rural voters) if they lose the presidency and the Congress tonite. Democrats would need 60 seats in the Senate, they are already the majority in the house and will likely pick up 10-15 more seats, and obviously need to win convincingly (mandate) to render the reps useless. These are not insurmountable numbers as dems are within range. A win by Obama would also mean he gets to appoint new liberal justices that will keep the supreme court ideologically balanced. So, how do you see the future of the republican party and who would lead to the better days? [ November 04, 2008, 02:48 PM: Message edited by: Libaax-Sankataabte ]

Where the entire governing bodies are in Kenya, something unheard of in history-all the more reason why TFG should be scraped off.

I think we are done in here. Agreed Mr Caanooley. Now don't bring my name in vain again. So shuuush and let's this the last exchange you son of..... ok I will be nice .

d/p

Oodweyne...And alas, your vile diatribe is debate now. Spare me duqa. I heard it all before, try something new hadii kale dhuusada nagala tak Mr Caanooley.

I'm doing well Lily, and I'm happy since my week off starts tomorrow. SS...It is not like that SS . I say Lily cuz Nuune was being little hard on her.

LoooooooooL@ NGONGE ..waraa you begining to sound more like duq Soomaali by the day.I meant another day for usual tit-tat chats but as for this incident, it only clarifies one thing,and I hate sound like Xiin, we are in this together. If those in these pockets of stability thought they could sit idly and be indifferent to the situation in the south, and more sadly callobrate with Ethiopia, they were wrong. There is price to pay for disloyalty and more importanly watching the suffering of your fellow Muslims while not lifting a finger. My hope is those in the north enclaves would understand their faith lies with Mogadisho but I'm realistic and that won't happen. We would probably see poor qaxootiis being rounded up. As for condolences, it won't do thing but it is human to empathize with those that are suffering. If Somalis did a bit that, maybe we would have been spared of alot tragedies.

^Lily is very kind. I can vouch for her on that.

Originally posted by Oodweyne: As for the Johnny-come-late chap who seemed to shadow box me rather boorishly around here of SOL , namely the said Mr. Che of the infamous Italian’s Mogadishu’s orphanages of the bygone years, one could only say to him: that the perhaps it’s the case that after you have read the “unmanly vulgarity” of Mr. ThePoint that is up, there may have been a brief moment that you have experienced a “historical flash-back” towards your misspend youth in yore. Particularly, during the wash-hour in the communal toilets of the orphanages that you were brought up in it; and specifically all the hanky-panky that used happens there, specifically, when one innocent bystander drops, inadvertently of course, the soap. Hence one could easily understand as to why you relished the thought of that “misspend youth” of yours, and it’s facsimile allusion that could be gleaned from what Mr. ThePoint did share with us, unprompted by anybody, of course ( particularly as a condition that he suffers from it ), in the first place.
