And The Beat Goes On… Rahm as Chief of Staff

2:16 — "Yes on 2" passes in California.  That makes me really, really happy.  Congratulations to all the grass-roots volunteers who just truly cared about the ethical treatment of farm animals, and shame on the unions and other so-called "progressive" groups who spread a bunch of lies on behalf of Big Ag.   

2:13 –  Nate Silver says "no evidence of a Bradley Effect — none whatsoever."

2:09 –  via email — "In front of the White House, thousands are singing "na na na na, na na na na, hey HEY goodbye"

2:01 –  Ben Smith:  "CBS News reports that a group of young people gathered outside the White House tonight, chanting Obama’s name."

2:00 –  Harry Reid: "This is a mandate to get along, to get something done in a bipartisan way. This is not a mandate for a political party or an ideology."  Tell that to the new Chief of Staff.

1:56 — Michelle Bachman holds on.  Ugh.

1:54 — Ding, dong the witch is dead — Musgrave goes down.

1:51 — 14 House pickups so far, per the DCCC.

1:43 — Howard Fineman on MSNBC just reported that Josh Marshall just emailed him and told him Rahm Emanuel has accepted the job of White House Chief of Staff.

1:38 — 37% reporting — Stevens 49%, Begich 46%. Will those crazy fuckers who voted for Sarah Palin re-elect even crazier Ted Toobz?
