Oh, I forgot! When I got to the polls, there was a group of about 10 people waving signs for the Democratic candidates. They shouted "Vote Democrat!" as I walked by. I shouted back "Not a problem." Then I saw this lone guy with an Ehrlich shirt and signs. All by his lonesome. But it made me happy, seeing someone making an effort in such a blue precinct. Someone who gave a damned enough to stand out there, all alone, as wrongheaded as I might think he was. When I left, I walked by him and thanked him for being there. I swear to god, democracy in action makes me a mushy sap. Mr. Smith indoctrinated me well.

From CQ Politics [link] :
Democrat John Yarmuth has defeated Republican Rep. Anne M. Northup in Kentucky's 3rd District. This is a big one: Other Democratic pickups tonight have been expected, but we had this race ranked Leans Republican. This is also the first of our bellwether races to be decided.

I'm going to risk wrath of the Buffistas and not! So far, looks like the puppy-liking Steele(R) is losing the senate race. Of course, I learned my lesson well in 2000 and will not draw conclusions until all the ballots are accounted for.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Maybe it's the cheap pinot grigio, but I could swear MSNBC's showing Steele(R) losing with 57% of the vote.
Evidently I should switch to whiskey.

Ann, that's a ferret.
VA Senate: Allen has a narrow lead. But they're saying most of the not-yet-reported precincts are in NoVa. Except the 8th District -- the northernmost part of NoVa has virtually finished reporting.
