TEA PARTY – One widely discussed effect of public disenchantment this year has been the rise of the Tea Party political movement. In preliminary exit poll results, 41 percent of voters describe themselves as supporters of this movement; 21 percent, support it strongly. Thirty-one percent say they oppose the movement; the rest, 24 percent, are "neutral" about it.

In another question, measuring a key aspect of the movement's message, 56 percent say government "is doing too many things better left to business and individuals," vs. 39 percent who say it "should do more to solve problems."

So what kind of spread do candidates normally put out at their election parties? Food? Drinks?

Come on Denny, you gotta know this.

 

[Denny Crane]

House: republicans have won 55 seats, democrats 17. so far.

Come on Denny, you gotta know this.

Heh. I honestly don't know, but I would guess a really good spread. Champagne and shrimp cocktails and that sort of thing.

Win or lose I'm thinking Dudley's election party is going to have some good eats. Plus it's always good to chat with Terry Porter. Do you have to be a donor to get in?

 

[maxiep]

With WV, it's highly unlikely the GOP wins the Senate, which I think is good for the GOP in 2012.

It says I'm a donor on my Oregon driver's license.

BTW, Dudley's spread will likely be sugar free.

Why couldn't we hit a three pointer?

Because the Blazers fell on their faces, and let the better Bulls win.
