Isn't it incredible that majorities in the House and Senate still can't be called? Well, maybe not so much. Elections are run by the states, and there are 50 states, and they're all different. Add onto that early voting and (especially) mail-in voting, and we get a lot of counting taking place over a lot of days.
So, we wait. No biggie. In the meantime, what is incredible is that the so-called "red wave" has been shrinking to a red ripple — if that. Sure, the GOP flipped a lot of seats in New York, and Florida is pretty much solid crimson. But every time we check, we're seeing Democrat after Democrat secure a House race that, per the pundits, had been teetering on the edge.
So maybe the Republicans will end up with, say, a 220-member majority? Could be interesting! You have to be as smart as Nancy Pelosi to handle tight margins like that, and Kevin McCarthy is no Nancy.
Which brings us to the most delicious suggestion we've heard in a long time: Liz Cheney for Speaker. What a grand idea. Contrary to popular belief, the Speaker does not technically need to be a member of the House, which is why all those MAGA idiots were floating Benedict Donald for the job. So whoever came up with the idea that Cheney should be nominated gets a gold star for originality.
In fact, we cats heartily endorse it, especially if the chamber ends up razor's-edge-Republican. Because without a Democratic House majority, we're not going to codify Roe, anyway, so why not nominate pro-life Liz? Here are three good reasons to do it:
- She will drive the Trumpsters crazy.
- She will keep support for Ukraine going.
- There's still so much to learn about January 6. Speaker Liz would make sure it happens.
Defeat the MAGAts. Save Ukraine. Rescue democracy. We cats can get behind all of it. And we PURR.
