Maybe they can un-gerrymander the districts now that Delay is gone.

I'd love to see it happen. But Bush is a lame duck now. There are so many other things we need to do like find a way out of Iraq for starters. I would love to see the lot of them held accountable for their crimes.

She is...but apparently so is the majority of Weld County...I'm seriously scared of what I saw last Saturday and last night. These people are hateful, sick assholes.

She looks like a typical Southern-fried Baptist harpy to me.

She reminds me of my elementary school principal, or my aunt Carolyn. Both of them make me want to throw up.

I was surprised that Chris Bell came in second. I really thought it would be between Perry and Carole Keeton Strayhorn Mellencamp, or whatever she's calling herself now.

I'm not sure if the local candidates I voted for won or not. I'm assuming they did, this being Austin.

I do, too. I had to think for a minute to come up with it, but it really is the perfect descriptive in this case.

AP
Democrats take control of the Senate

By LIZ SIDOTI and BOB LEWIS, Associated Press Writers 2 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Democrats wrested control of the Senate from Republicans Wednesday with an upset victory in Virginia, giving the party complete domination of Capitol Hill for the first time since 1994.

Jim Webb's squeaker win over incumbent Sen. George Allen (news, bio, voting record) gave Democrats their 51st seat in the Senate, an astonishing turnabout at the hands of voters unhappy with Republican scandal and unabated violence in
Iraq. Allen was the sixth Republican incumbent senator defeated in Tuesday's elections.

The Senate had teetered at 50 Democrats, 49 Republicans for most of Wednesday, with Virginia hanging in the balance. Webb's victory ended Republican hopes of eking out a 50-50 split, with Vice President
Dick Cheney wielding tie-breaking authority.

The Associated Press contacted election officials in all 134 localities where voting occurred, obtaining updated numbers Wednesday. About half the localities said they had completed their postelection canvassing and nearly all had counted outstanding absentees. Most were expected to be finished by Friday.

The new AP count showed Webb with 1,172,538 votes and Allen with 1,165,302, a difference of 7,236. Virginia has had two statewide vote recounts in modern history, but both resulted in vote changes of no more than a few hundred votes.

An adviser to Allen, speaking on condition of anonymity because his boss had not formally decided to end the campaign, said the senator wanted to wait until most of canvassing was completed before announcing his decision, possibly as early as Thursday evening.

The adviser said that Allen was disinclined to request a recount if the final vote spread was similar to that of election night.

Oh - she is a C U Next Tuesday - no doubt about that

I just like the way she dresses. It is soooo stylish for ladies of her age. That whole Chanel, St. John, Prada - ladies who lunch look - which no principal I ever met had - then again, they were mostly nuns

So they finally called it? That is great. I totally did not expect the Dems to take both houses of Congress (although I did hear that control of the House has never in history switched from one party to another without control of the Senate switching also), but was pleasantly surprised today.
