Vote notes; midnightish

dr. elsewhere here

DEMS OWN THE HOUSE!! 234 to 201. We picked up almost 50 seats! [Color me brain-dead; 30; we picked up 30 seats.]

Foley's seat went blue, as did Sherwood's and Weldon's in PA. Several surprises. Great showing!

And we only need 3 pick-ups for the Senate. Well, really four, due to Lieberman, but whatever.

It appears MO is leaning Republican, and Ford is trailing in TN. But MT and VA are very close, and MT is more likely to go Demcrat. And there is a very slim chance for AZ, but not likely. Right now Webb is leading in VA, but very slightly. Only MT, VA, and MO are even possible; TN seems lost. So it really doesn't seem likely we'll be able to pull it off, but damn, it's close!

Don't know if I can stay awake much longer (I'm such a party pooper), but it may well be that the final numbers on those final four won't be decided tonight.

At least we have the House now. Speaker Pelosi!!

THANK YOU NANCY PELOSI FOR STAYING THE COURSE AND DOING SO MANY 'TAKE BACK THE HOUSE' FUNDRAISERS FOR NEARLY 100 DEMOCRATIC RACES !

I AM SO RELIEVED THAT KARL ROVE DIDN'T GET DIEBOLD/SEQUOIA/ESS TO PUT IN THE "FIX" AND STEAL THESE ELECTIONS.

IF THESE HOUSE RACES HAD BEEN 'FIXED' THEN MARTIAL LAW WOULD BE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND I WILL BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER COUNTRY TO LIVE IN BEFORE I GET 'DISAPPEARED' INTO ONE OF THOSE DAMNED 800 DETENTION CAMPS BEING BUILT OUT BY HALLIBURTON ($400 million contract awarded in Jan 2006 to expand/develop/build new camps).

THANK YOU NANCY!

WE ARE SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!

"you were right Nancy! when you said recently, 'It's just can't happen again', you were right"
