Yeah, yeah. I'm still a cynic. I'm not going to claim moral victory for the Democrats, but I AM going to claim electoral victory. And we all know that's what really matters. But I was going to title this post "Suck it, Santorum" so at least I'm being polite about our SWEEPING victory in the house. Not that my politics were much of a secret, but now my true-blue roots are showing through.
Now, if the Virginia election officials can get their act together and do a quick recount, let's hope Webb triumphs over Allen in that race. I'd even give 'em Burns in Montana if we can just get Allen out of VA. He's just the epitome of eveything I hate.
And now, since I'm in the best mood I've been in (politically) since 2000, here's my 2006 Midterm Election Roundup:
Serves 'em Right - I disagree with these three on pretty much everything they stand for, and I'd be lying if I said I was sorry to see them go:
Santorum (R-PA)
De Lay (R-TX)
Hostettler (R-IN)
The Times They Are A-Changin' - Can't say I'm too sorry to creep closer to a majority in the Senate, but it's a shame it had to come at the expense of Lincoln Chaffee. I think his loss is a loss for the legislature.
Welcome to the Club! Here's a list of some new arrivals I find interesting:
Deval Patrick - Governor of Massachusetts
Bob Casey - Senator, D-PA
Bernie Sanders - Senator, I-VT (our only Socialist, I believe)
Bill Nelson - Senator, D-FL
You Can't Win 'Em All - Someday, these guys will get ousted from office:
John Doolittle - Rep, R-CA (this one's for you, Dad)
Bob Corker - Senator, R-TN
Dennis Hastert - Rep, R-IL
And, on a final note, the race with the best name? The incumbent, now re-elected in Texas' 9th District is... Al Green. Gotta love it.
