Webb and Tester are up too.
Allen's already said he will challenge the results. The state will pay for a recount since it's so close. There's still a large amount of the 130,000 absentee ballots to count.
I'm really liking the ouster of a number of redbirds in PA....
CNN's called Missouri for the Dems! Isn't that thoughtful of them?
I wonder what will come of it.
Bush is a lame duck for two years and basically none of his agenda moves forward. Probably some indictments. Lots of pressure to get an exit plan for Iraq but nothing will happen until after the next Presidential election.
My hands are raw. Why? Democracy! Took a temp gig helping sort ballots. From 7 to 10pm tonight I did nothing except hang out in a warehouse filled with city owned parade floats and Red Cross emergency vehicles. From 10 to Midnight we sorted a thousand 90 lb bags. And by sort I mean dragged those fuckers all over a warehouse to their appropriate polling place number. I probably dragged about sixty of them in the two hours, so that's a few tons of democracy. You're welcome America.
that's a few tons of democracy. You're welcome America.
You exist!
I heart democracy but I kinda thought it was like unicorns and myth-y. Also dependent of being a virgin.
Mmmmm, these are some nice numbers to wake up to. A year or so ago a number of Dem. politicos lambasted Howard Dean because he insisted on putting money into races in all 50 states, instead of concentrating on just the then-likely Democratic wins. Betcha he's being hailed as a genius by a lot of the same folks this morning.
Ooooh, it's like waking up on Christmas morning! What a difference from 2004!
I went to bed before TDS/Colbert came on, so I have that to look forward to.
Well, I gave up and went to bed at 1:24 my time. Having sweet dreams of leading in all the outstanding races. After 5 wonderful hours, still leading in all the outstanding races. Finish counting already!
Blue skies!
Black coffee:
This has been my best election in countless years. 6 of the 9 people I voted for won. Apparently the people of Florida only think Yes is an option on amendments so didn't do so great there. Still feeling so much better.
And no political ads on the teevee today!
