Crap.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
At least Harry Reid won.
So sorry, DJ.
Ugh.
My lying Republican congressman is now my lying Republican senator (Kirk).
DAMN IT.
I think I should go to bed without checking the news. It would be better for my blood pressure.
Ugh. This whole thing is depressing me. I mean, I'm glad that the Dems mostly seem to be winning in my state, but YEESH (plus a few of the ballot measures I wanted are not winning/losing as requested)
Crap, crap, crap. Ken Buck is ahead by 3% with 49% reporting.
I'm consoling myself that it might work out okay. People impatiently expected Obama to single-handedly pull us out of the worst economic trough since the Great Depression within 2 years. When they see the Republicans can't do it in 2 years, maybe they'll pendulum right back.
Especially if the Repubs try and shut down the government like they did back in 1995. That'll work out just as well (cost megabucks to recover, piss off Social Security recipients with late payments/inability to enroll, put veterans' medical treatment on hold, shut down national parks, and loads of other stuff that shout "You voted for the Republicans--this is what you get."
It may seem minor, but I'm pretty disappointed that the SF measure to prevent people from sitting or lying on the sidewalk is passing by a wide margin. And that the CA proposition to support state parks is losing (although that's less surprising).
