Election USA - the real results.

Yesterday Americans voted for change. Real change !

The Democrats at this point in time have won the Senate 51-49. Just as I had predicted.

The Democrats picked up 28 new seats in the House of Representatives -- 4 less than the 32 I predicted. But sure was close. As a result there is now a Democratic majority in Congress.

As far as Governors, I had predicted 8 new Democrats. They picked up 6. Again I was close.

It will be absolutely amazing to see what happens next in American politics. We live in very interesting times. Posted by Picasa

Pretty clear that USA was focussed on the foreign policy , Dubya responded by walking Rumsfeldt into the propeller. He already lost the best person he could wish for..Colin Powell....because of this poorly thought out invasion of Iraq.

If this election would have been about domestic policy...the Republicans would probably have made gains......so it was about Iraq....not the war on terroism..

Dubya lied about why they went there...and still does....It is about the oil....
If it was about freeing a country from an evil dictator....who was a threat to USA....then we should be seeing USA invade N Korea any day now

So....in the US electoral system, where it is next to impossible to unseat an encumbant.....

US voters took almost thiry seats away from dubya...in the Congressional races...and a dozen or so from the Senatorial races....

Maybe the voters, and the world...want USA to revisit their pro Israel...anti Arab Middle East policy???? You Think?????
