But, he has done good things as well and he is far from what the far right owuld have had in there. So, I check him as a relative win.

What are the good things that he's done?

But you're right, he's not a big loss or anything. I actually voted for the Green.

Tennessee is probably a lost cause (I'm not a big Harold Ford fan anyway, he's a total Republican pretending to be a Dem). Looks like the uncounted votes in VA are from Webb's stronghold, though. I'm not a Webb fan either, but would like to see the Dems win both Houses.

Way late, but yeah, I actually trade Pombo out for Schwartz. Pombo is evil.

How did you guys vote on whether a candidate can run in more than one party, if nominated, and thus be listed on the ballot more than once? Was that national? I hadn't even heard of it and I didn't have a strong opinion either way so I did not choose. It seems like a slippery slope for a lot of confusion. On the other hand we could have someone run as Green/Dem or something like that and avoid losing those votes. But then once in office are they Dem or Green? Again, slippery slope. Okay if I had written this out I would've voted no.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

We're so friggin blue here most of the local offices only had a D candidate running unopposed. I voted for them, of course.

Looks like Joe-Lieb might win here in CT again. Good for him though, I can't stand Ned Lamont.

Sounds like a state initiative. I wouldn't support anything that allowed a candidate to be in more than one party.
