2. what's a toss up? if it's the senate--then yes it's still a toss up
Many races are close. Dems will gain seats but it's not sure if it will be a majority.

11. Bush told the reporters this morning that Republicans WILL WIN...he
knows it..so they realize the "FIX IS IN" for the Senate. They might not be able to control as much in the House.

Lou Dobbs Biography
Lou Dobbs is the anchor and managing editor of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight and a founding member of the network in 1980, as well as CNN's financial news division. Additionally, Dobbs anchors a nationally-syndicated financial news radio report. He writes a monthly column for Money magazine, a weekly syndicated column for the Sunday issue of the New York Daily News, is a contributing editor for U.S. News and World Report and also manages and edits his own financial newsletter, the Lou Dobbs Money Letter.

Dobbs has won nearly every major award for television journalism. He received the George Foster Peabody Award for his coverage of the 1987 stock market crash. In 1990, he was given the Luminary Award by the Business Journalism Review for his "visionary work, which changed the landscape of business journalism in the 1980s." In 1999, he received the Horatio Alger Association Award for Distinguished Americans and Dobbs was named "Father of the Year" by the National Father's Day Committee in 1993.

He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in economics. Dobbs serves on the boards of the Society of Professional Journalists Foundation, the Horatio Alger Association, the National Space Foundation and SPACE Holdings, Inc., in which he owns a minority stake, as he does in Integrity Bank. He is also a member of the Planetary Society, the Overseas Press Club, the American Economic Association and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

4. Turn it off.
I refuse to watch cable "news" these days unless Olbermann is doing a rant. There's just no value in it.

5. Olbermann said the same thing..........
The House is looking good, but the Senate race is still very much up in the air. And besides, consider the source.

Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 06:05 PM by KoKo01
Push Back from MSM. MSNBC (except for Olbermann) totally working for RNC. CNN still giving a good fight (Time Warner must be worried) but after starting off with a great Documentary on the the "Broken House and Senate" pushed forward Candy "Cowley" crap stuff on "defeatist Dems" last night when it was supposed to be aired tonight. Dobbs is beginning to sound like Tweety...putting his finger in the wind to see which way it blows. At least we know he's a Libertarian so the way he twists in the wind isn't quite as extreme as Matthews...but still...:banghead:

The rest of it all is the usual RW Crap...
