ROFLMAO With 0% of the votes counted and 10 minutes after the polls closed, the Dem candidate and AP declared that she won. I voted for her so I hope so but uhhhhhhhh a little premature aren't we?

I have just been informed that in two states voters have chosen to raise the minimum wage...

and voters in Wyoming and Arkansas have approved referendums legally defining submission as a gift.

Sorry, katy.

I'm pretty sure LA has a link to a thread where he claims not to be interested in Chads irrespective of how they're hung.

But I mean if you need an electron microscope ...

Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse wins Senate seat in Rhode Island (Reuters)

1 down. 11 to go and the Republicans lose their plurality in the Senate.

Cackle.

And, at the end of the day, aren't the people who get off on gay jokes at someone else's expense the real winners?

Sen. Rick Santorum (news, bio, voting record) of Pennsylvania became the first Republican senator to fall to the Democrats, losing his seat after two conservative terms to Bob Casey Jr., the state treasurer.

In Ohio, Sen. Mike DeWine (news, bio, voting record) lost to Rep. Sherrod Brown (news, bio, voting record), a liberal seven-term lawmaker.

In the battle for control of the House, Rep. John Hostettler (news, bio, voting record), R-Ind., and Anne Northup of Kentucky both lost to their Democratic challengers.

Hostettler, Santorum and DeWine all won their seats in the Republican landslide of 1994, the year the GOP won control of the House they were in danger of surrendering in this election.

All 435 House seats were on the ballot along with 33 Senate races, elections that Democrats sought to make a referendum on the president's handling of the war, the economy and more.
Democrats piled up early gains among the 36 statehouse races on the ballot.

In Ohio, Rep. Ted Strickland (news, bio, voting record) defeated Republican Ken Blackwell with ease to become the state's first Democratic governor in 16 years. Deval Patrick triumphed over Republican Kerry Healey in Massachusetts, and will become the state's first black chief executive. Attorney General Eliot Spitzer won the New York governor's race in a landslide.

Surveys of voters at their polling places nationwide suggested Democrats were winning the support of independents by a margin of almost 2-to-1, and middle-class voters were leaving Republicans behind.
About six in 10 voters said they disapproved of the way President Bush is handling his job, and roughly the same percentage opposed the war in Iraq. They were more inclined to vote for Democratic candidates than for Republicans.

In even larger numbers, about three-quarters of voters said scandals mattered to them in deciding how to vote, and they, too, were more likely to side with Democrats. The surveys were taken by The Associated Press and the networks.

History worked against the GOP, too. Since World War II, the party in control of the White House has lost an average 31 House seats and six Senate seats in the second midterm election of a president's tenure in office.

Voters in Vermont made Rep. Bernie Sanders, an independent, the winner in a Senate race, succeeding retiring Sen.

At least they defeated the referendums defining a slave as being more spiritual than submissives; however a similar referendum did pass in Kansas along with one eliminating the theory of evolution from public school curricula.

Looks like the Dems are going to do quite well in the House but are not going to get the Senate and lose most of the projected close races there. It looks more like the Dem reclaimed some of their old areas of states that are blue and red but are not making any new ground in red states.

It will probably be a solid Dem victory but probably will not cause the Rep to do anything different or move back toward the middle.
