Wow. Look at that CNN anchor's blatant enthusiasm and attempt at trying to break a smile talking about the democrats taking the house and discussing the senate.

You can always watch that other network since CNN seems to be upsetting you so much.
The remote is an awesome device.

Missouri got a lot closer, but Tennessee is done.

Not that it makes a difference though, I almost feel bad for people who get their hopes up that government will somehow suddenly change now that the other party has started to take over:p

It's not Republican dominance anymore, and that's the most important thing. I'm sure most folks understand that this isn't going to get rid of Bush.

Senate is still iffy, though.

Senate is dead. Even if Webb beats Allen in a last second comeback, Tennessee isn't very close and neither is Missouri. Dems need 3 of the last 4.

Actually I wasn't saying that, I was pointing out that it really doesn't matter what party is in power in the Government these days:p

On fundamental issues such as Iraq, Terrorism, Health Care, College Tutition, Minimum wage, etc..., there are vast differences between the two parties. And for anyone paying attention during the last five years of unfettered Republican rule, it truly does matter which party has a lever of power in Government these days.

For some reason I'm excited about this just from watching BBC News 24 and this has less than nothing to do with me.

Oh and watching ABC reporters try to "speak in terms that the Brits would understand" on the BBC News is rather funny viewing.

Thanks, Phoenix.

In young voter news...

Young voter turnout in a set of targeted precincts increased by an average of 50 percent over the 2002 election, and by as much as 111 percent in some precincts, according to an Election Night analysis by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE), continuing a national trend of growing young voter participation that began in the 2004 election.

"Based on numbers provided to us by the New Voters Project, it appears that in selected Ohio precincts with high concentrations of college students, the turnout increase was very substantial compared to 2002. Overall, the number of votes cast in those precincts increased by about 50 percent, ranging from 6% to 111% in specific precincts," said Peter Levine, Director of CIRCLE.

The more annoying thing about the Green candidate in VA was that she announced like a week or two weeks ago that she was going to withdraw and that she was "in negotiations" with both the Webb and Allen campaigns to decide which to endorse. She kept up this charade and I saw her discussing it on the news not one day ago, and I don't think she ever actually officially withdrew or endorsed either one.

What, what, what? Either way, there will be a recount, and I think the margin is small enough that the state is going to be paying for it too.
