Liveblogging with a drink in my hand: EXCELLENT news from NY 20 and Montana
Dear Montana and Voters of our former home, NY District 20:
Thank you for voting against the Conrad Burns and John Sweeney respectively. Despite my general lack of enthusiasm for the Democrats and what they are able to articulate as a position, Burns' early lead and John Sweeney's loss in Dutchess County are warming my heart. I only wish I could have voted in Rhinebeck today. Our democratic congressman has no chance in this red, red county.
I'm just wondering what the H is going on in Virginia? Was Jim Webb such a poor candidate? Give me some insight here about how Allen can be doing as well as he is...he is speaking on CNN rather graciously and so I am wondering again, what is Webb doing?
OK at 10:09, it looks as if Jim Webb has pulled ahead and that George Allen is not the clown I thought he was, but a rather well spoken, but crypto-reactionary candidate, that is some one who can speak about democracy and freedom (stimulating your frontal lobes) while massaging your lizard brain.
It will be a long night, so I may turn in...I am not elated, but I think raising the minimum wage, which is already higher here in CA than in the rest of the country will be a start. This is also when I start to miss MN where I felt a deep intimacy with the middle of this country....
And New York elects Elliot Spitzer, one of the few bright lights in the past ten years...I'm jealous...we've got the Governator.
