Every single Dem incumbent returned to office. At least 26 more seats in the House. The nation’s first woman Speaker. Six new governorships. At least four Senate seats. And, if all goes well in Virginia (which, at 5am EST, is looking likely — Webb’s up 8,000, which is a pretty solid lead heading into a recount) and Montana (which seems positive for us, albeit less so — Tester’s up 5,000 with 85% reporting), perhaps even control of Congress…Yessir, all-in-all, it was a pretty grand night for us. So, Dubya and Karl…how you like them apples? Update: Make that 28 seats in the House and 5 in the Senate….soon to be six. Congress is ours!
Dude… 5 AM? Really? For Nancy Pelosi, 5 AM? She’s better than the previous speaker, but not staying up until 5 AM kind of better.
Enjoy the victory, Murph.
Right now, Karl Rove is in his dungeon beneath the White House, photoshopping Virginia absentee ballots.
