ok, i'm pretty sure the senate is going to the dems as well -- been watching MT vote counts and only one county remains outstanding, which cannot possibly deliver enough votes to allow burns to catch up to tester. though man, that's a real squeaker. dunno whether close enough for recount; people on dkos are debating MT election law.

VA looks quite safe, with 99.84% reporting:
J H Webb Jr Democratic 1,171,813 49.55%
G F Allen Republican 1,164,667 49.25%

the republicans did not pick up a single seat. this solid overall democratic win is a goodness. and today is for celebrating.

i am not totally thrilled, mind. under the circumstances, considering the things the republicans have done, i am disappointed so many people still voted for the crapweasels. and the US has a whole has shifted so much to the right that i remain deeply uncomfortable and uneasy. but it could have been worse, and maybe it can henceforth get a little better overall.

and now for a parting moment of schadenfreude: 'k(no)tnxbye santorum, blackwell, harris, ney, sweeney, foley, delay, sherwood, weldon. welcome to the first muslim in the house and first socialist in the senate (oh, the freepers must just BURN today).
