America has spoken, George Bush told the nation this morning two years ago, and it had given him its trust and his confidence. He would continue his policies at home and abroad, buoyed by the public’s endorsement. Now, two years further on, America has spoken again – but this time in a very different tone and with the opposite conclusion, issuing a direct warning to the leader it re-elected 24 months ago to change his policy in Iraq. The cheering can be heard not just in America itself but around the planet.”………

Goodnight and sweet dreams.

can’t see Lieberman leaving a 6 year seat for a 2 year gig in a lost war.

But I could see him saying make me Senate leader or I’m out of here.

word on Massa?

Wulsin?

Braley?

Kissell?

Sadly, Massa lost. NY-29 Massa (D): 49% Kuhl (R): 51% – 92% counted
Wulsin 49% _ schmidt 51% (but TPM has winner n/a)
Braley 55% – Whaley 43% Braley declared winner
Kissell 49% – Hayes 51% no winner declared though 99% counted

Good point. I loved seeing Webb tonight, what a guy. Too bad they cut him off — but that 10 seconds was delicious anyway…

;)

‘night.

Dr. Bloor/Uptown -

OK. I get why Allen has the right to contest and pay for a recount, since 12,000 votes is a comparatively small margin, given the population of Virginia. Do you think it’s odd that the MSM isn’t calling it for Webb though?

i think that Allen getting out and making that announcement was smart and forced the MSM’s hand — along with earlier reports of the FBI investigating voter problems
