Democrats on brink of controlling Senate


We are the first to admit that we have a long way to go, but we are taking the day to enjoy this happy turn of events.

Where's the fat frogman, anyhow? Haven't seen "Turd-blossom" all day.

Democrats on brink of controlling Senate - Yahoo! News:

For Republicans, it was an election that started out grim and got only grimmer with the new day.

First, voters brought down the Republican House majority after 12 years in power, and gave Democrats a majority of governorships for the first time in just as long.

Then Senate control began slipping away, the narrow GOP majority ground down to nothing, protected only by Vice President Dick Cheney's tie-breaking vote if the contest ended at 50-50.
Democrats hoped to shape a 51-49 majority with a Virginia victory for Webb, a former Navy secretary under Ronald Reagan. Webb led by fewer than 9,000 votes out of more than 2.3 million cast, and with the margin so small and so much on the line, GOP Sen. George Allen (news, bio, voting record) was not conceding. If a recount is held, it could take weeks to be conducted by a panel of judges.
