Oh yeah, I’ve still got it.

Am calm. Very calm. Extremely calm. Have done my toenails and my fingernails. Houseguess now off premises so that I can worry myself sick calmly observe the early returns.

And may I? Yay Christy and TRex!!!!

Hi e…

I’m pretty sure that ReddHedd is smiling in the picture below because TRex is groping her under the table. He’s got that smug therapod “playa” smirk on his face!

Houseguess: that would be like what things look like if I don’t pick up after myself because of permanent laziness the elections.

Sooo, it slowly sinks in, no edit function. Ok, as long as you love me as much as you love looseheadprop.

Did everyone hear CNN’s exit polling about issues driving voters? Corruption at 40 percent, beating Iraq? We got them coming and going.

I really believe Bush will be sweating tonight, right around the forehead

if we can actually pull this off, i expect a resignation from cheney for ‘health reasons”, mccain to take his place, a bush pre pardon for cheney

then Bush resigns, mccain to pre pardon bush
that’s my story and i’m stickin to it

Thank God the booze has come out. I’ve been sitting on the edge of my seat for the last hour. I’m having a little Grand Marnier w/coffee.

Gregory says on MSNBC that Rove is giving the boy (the president) play by play. And trying to rally the troops. I feel just fine. Minimum of 30 House seats; minimum of six Senate seats.

Yarmuth in KY is looking great.

TPMs numbers do not agree with CNNs for the VA Senate race.

Webb Allen numbers have taken a bizarre turn for the worst – is there some big blob of scary gated-exurbia cluster of precincts that means this is just a blip?

Hi guys,

Just got in from my precinct.

During the 2004 election, 600 folks voted.

As of now, 900 turned out in a monsoon to vote.

A lot of our folks turned out.

Abbi is going to be talking with me shortly.

Tweety and his new man crush on Obama. grrr

‘Twasn’t a mess-up at TPM, same was up at C-SPAN.

http://www.dccc.org/results/index.html is Democratic website (run by yuck Emanuel) tracking “Top Races to Watch.” Guess what. He only considers 18 House races to be top ones to watch.

Does that mean that when we pick up 37 seats, we can point out that they are our seats, not the DCCC’s?

Oh, and Keith is on MSNBC talking about robocalls.

Hot tea with an Alka Selzer chaser. ‘Cause I’ve got cold. A’choo!

Lots of anecdotal about voting in the Denver metro being a clusterf*ck. The polling place I passed on my way home (in a fairly affluent area) had at least a hundred people in line around 4:30 this afternoon. Jay Fawcett’s office in the Springs was reportedly vandalized last night. I think it’s going to be a long night in the Centennial State.

Yarmuth was covered in of all places Haaretz. Yarmuth is Jewish and Louisville has a very vibrant Jewish community. Kentucky has a history of good progressives but they kind of get lost among the bubbas.
