11. Has she been elected yet? I had to take a phone call and missed a lot.
Mrs. Pelosi is holding a baby! I think it's her new grandchild! How wonderful! :)

She filmed for us the incriminating moment from Peter King "It's all over but the counting, and we'll take care of that."

62. I couldn't believe the weenie claimed the tax cuts worked.
Said the only slightly relevant Dow has been doing great, when it's done worse over Junior's six years than under any other president (except Nixon if memory serves). And the tax cuts didn't meet the laughably low expectations that Junior set. Puh leeez!

Not those exact words but sort of like it.

73. Hum, I don't remember who did the other ones.
I think it was all honor system, in other words, paypal to somebody's account, and they ordered the roses through an organic florist and somebody who was physically IN Washington had to show up and arrange the roses, I remember that much.

Just start the thread in GD and I'm sure people will come out of the woodwork to support it. :D

And her favorite flower is a great idea,but a roomful of lilies, depending what kind they are, might be a bit overpowering. We could get some of those and some roses.

77. Don't Know If This Has Been Posted... Just Logged On... But I
"think" there is going to be a challenge by someone named Hoskins of NJ FOR Christine Jennings, of District 13 in FL against Vern Buchanan (who really DID NOT win). I'm not sure it will happen here and now, but it's my understanding that the challenge is going to be made.

If anyone else has other information, please let me know. Thanks!

WOO Hoo, WOO HOO HOO for NANCY PELOSI! I think she looks really GREAT! Maroon is a good color for her.

My understanding is that any challenges will come after Speaker Pelosi is sworn in, but before she swears in the full House.
