Notes on the Election

Steve handed me a glass of red wine an hour ago and I’m getting drowsy. Thought I would blog for a minute to wake myself up.

Santorum got trounced. Sad to see kids cry on the stage. Bill Bennett thinks he has a shot at the presidency some day. He’s done.

Lamont lost big time. Rather bad news for the netroots. What happens to Lieberman’s committee leadership positions now that he’s an Independent?

Menendez easily won.

Democrats won every state-wide position in New York. The last time that happened was in 1938.

The pollsters say that the war wasn’t the key issue in this election. They said that people said they also cared about corruption, terrorism, and the economy.

Howard Dean said that the Democrats wouldn’t pull the troops out of Iraq right away.

Everybody is talking about Rumsfield resigning.

Surprised that Ford didn’t win in Tennessee. Perhaps the marriage amendment in TN brought out the social conservative vote.

Republicans did very well in the South.

Rahm Emmanuel did a great job recruiting former military to run in this election. Those candidates seem to have won their elections.

Gotta see what my boyfriend, Jon Stewart, has to say about all this….
