So... Yeah! Look at that!
filed under: Hey, What's The Big IdeaUm... weird. We seem - we seem to have won.
Let me put a finer point on that.
We seem to have won it all.
The House has fallen, by 25+ seats. The Senate is currently a tie, though we won't have final closure until at *least* November 27, when the state certifies the results and Allen has to figure out whether he's going to ask for a recount. Conventional wisdom at the moment is that he will still be behind by several thousand votes, and should not ask for a recount.
Either way, I think we won the Senate.
So there it is. Fox News and the Right are eating their own in a frenzy of recrimination, Karl Rove's mystique is forever punctured, Rumsfeld is out and the Democrats control both houses. It's like TOPSY TURVY WORLD.
UPDATE:
Senator Tester, meet Senator Webb. Senator Webb, meet Senator Tester. America, meet DEMOCRATIC CONTROL OF BOTH MOTHERFUCKING HOUSES OF CONGRESS.
Karl Rove, meet the business end of a sloppy poo sandwich.
Sham "mainstream" conservatism, meet the end of your god damned era.
Is that bacon? Do I smell bacon?
