Manchin(D-WV) and Sanders(I-VT) called to keep their Senate seats.
Edit- Florida, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware all won by Dems, Tennessee by GOP, Maine by Independent. Dunno if he's caucusing with Dems or GOP, taking GOP seat.

He's pro-choice, and pro-Obamacare. So he'll be sitting by himself in the cafeteria.
They're calling Chris Murphy in Connecticut's Senate Race over Linda McMahon (lulz). That would be a +1 for the Democrats.
DAMNIT. Linda McMahon and Al Franken in the Senate would have been hilarious. :(
I like Angus King a lot. The Republicans spent millions attacking him. I doubt he'll be with them.
Looks like we may be able to add Indiana to the list of Senate seats lost by the Tea Party.

I put in for a job in Maine recently. I would go so fucking fast, the cat wouldn't know her ass was in the carrier. What a lovely, moderate, sensible state.
I hope you like winter. :)
Maine is nice for a weekend visit.
It's still early and close, but Scott Brown is looking at the wrong end of the numbers so far against Professor 1/32.
Being a moderate Republican is one thing; turning into an unconscionable asshole the last 3 months of the campaign is another.

After years of 90 degrees and 90% humidity for 4 months of the year, yeah, I could do with some longer, deeper,
Misery-style winters.

Yeah. I'm not surprised. I think Grumbler predicted it a while ago. But I loved his contribution - his visible, sincere rage on Romney's 47% comments was great to see and I always hugely admired his attempts at penal reform.

The honest truth is he's too intelligent and too accomplished to put up with the bullshit that is Capitol Hill anyway.

Man, the school levies in the Miami Valley are getting slaughtered.
Watching Todd Akin's concession speech; lots of "Almighty God" and the tyranny of government. Tyranny. Almighty God. Gotta love candidates from 1850.
I heard Brown's speech was very gracious. Akin's the opposite.

QuoteWe can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!
Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.
This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!
Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble...like never before.
Our nation is a once great nation divided!
The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.
Hopefully the House of Representatives can hold our country together for four more years...stay strong and never give up!
