| Dems cleaned house literally, good news is there's a lot of YOUNG and CONSERVATIVE democrats that are in there. Perhaps a shift in the democrat party, that would be a good thing. | ||||

| So this independant from VT is a raging liberal I hear. May as well count that seat as a Democrat win.  | ||||

| Tester and Webb both won, with 99% leading he leads by more than 1000 votes which is a big margin in Montana Webb leads by 8000 votes with 99.8% reporting So there's a democratic senate too | ||||

| Yeah, they did. Also, the absentee ballots have already been counted and were included in the totals last night in VA, meaning with the last few counties Allen would have to get an insanely huge amount of the remaining results, enough that it would be a statistical anomaly. | ||||

| VERY interesting. Will Allen pull a Nixon and concede? It would help preserve whatever political capital he has left (which is quite a bit, since it's so close.) Or will he push for a recount. New York Times is saying that if he does call for a recount, it may not be decided until early December. What do you guys think Allen will do? | ||||

| Allen's smartest political move at the moment is to concede and declare the victory a referendum on Bush and Iraq, rather than his capabilities as a leader if he hopes to preserve any chance of ever being President, Vice President, or Secretary of something | ||||
