It'll be a week before we know the outcome of some of these senate races. The post-election finger pointing is going to be brutal.

Democrats still won't take it though, in all likelihood. =/

That blows. MA is so conservative in weird ways. But AFAIK they only just approved liquor sales on sunday, so baby steps...
 
Is Virginia going to get Florida'd? Recounts, lawyers, etc.?

And I have to say.... I'm glad to see Steele lose. He ran a truly obnoxious campaign - all style, no substance. His last campaign ad consisted of him sitting on his front steps with his kids talking about what kind of music he listens to. That's the ad - and he's running for senate. What a crock. (And, yes, he went with the ultra-banal, focus group friendly 'Sinatra, Motown, a little hip hop' answer.)

I do like Stewart's description of the Democrat's

"And their plan is to.....slowly back out of the room while people yell at their brother for burning down the garage."

West Coasters, I think it'll be on. It's live for once.

Feels really good to take back the House. Senate is a real nailbiter, but I still say we take five and not six. :(
Where's that Team America animated gif of the evil laughter? :D
