He said "The democrats didn't win. The republicans lost."
How do you feel about that phrase? Sounds to me like yet another republican contradicting himself.

Some Republicans still don't get the point. Do you think after his trial when he goes to jail, he will say, "I didn't lose. The prosecutor won"?

He's not contradicting himself. He's basically saying that people voted Democrat, not necessarily because they wanted to vote for the Democrat, but because it was a vote against the Republicans.
Do I agree with his statement? Not completely.
Whether or not the reason people voted was because it was FOR the Democrats or AGAINST the Republicans, the Democrats still have control of the House and quite possibilly control of the Senate. And even they don't gain control of the Senate, at least there's a better balance of the two parties.
So Delay is wrong, the Democrats did win.
But there's one thing he is right about. The Republicans lost.

Heard at the Polling Place:
"I wasn't so much voting for the Dems as I was against the Republicans"

Makes sense.
Clinton said the same thing when the Democrats lost the House.
No contradiction.

If the Republicans lost - someone had to win - that doesn't
make much sense. Unless, he means these Repubs have
lost their way.

No-one is above the regulation. no longer even the president. regardless of the shown fact that, i'm bored with all the quibbling between the two events. They have been elected to run this u . s . and all they seem to have the potential to do is ingredient hands at one yet another and accuse one yet another of being incorrect. How approximately a number of them doing something precise for a transformation. i think of the yank people ought to scrub homestead to set an occasion for the hot comers to think of roughly.

I agree, if Bush had stayed in DC they might have retained the senate. Remember he went to Montana and Missouri just before the vote.

He probably has a valid point there. He should know. He did much to orchestrate the loss.
