That's One Nutty State
I successfully avoided checking the election news yesterday, so I'm pleased to see this morning that the House pickups are on a reasonably high end of what seemed to be predicted.
Less than happy to learn that in the Senate, things familiarly hinge on a couple of too-close-to-call races; especially Virginia, which is even more galling since George Allen has been such a demonstrable fuckwad. Another presumable recount, and once more our democratic process is called upon to do what it does best: providing several weeks of bitterly divisive political theater without addressing the greater problems of the situation.
Something's slightly off with this NY Times website analysis, but I can't quite place what.
(Probably a problem from my running Flash multimedia in Firefox, but, still, more than I can process at 7:30 in the morning. Wait, what? Unless that race was even crazier than I knew about.)
Anyway, happy First Day of the Official Santorum Countdown; my analysis is that Pennsylvania's voters have declared a mandate for everyone to smack him really hard in the back of the head before he leaves office. Hopefully ex-Pennsylvanians too.

I hadn't heard about the VA gay marriage/civil union referendum: awful.
Do you mean the residents of DC resent you for saying you're from DC, or that you resent the residents of DC for some reason?
Anyway, as of this morning the Allen train seems to have gathered even more backwards momentum, so here's hoping it finally backslides off the rails today.
