Frankly? I expected it to start raining money today.
I predicted that Santorum would lose by 7 percent and Swann by 12 percent. The final numbers??
Rendell 60 Swann 40
Casey 59 Santorum 41
That right there was enough to make my night. Rendell's win was a given, but getting rid of that stain on the Senate was worth the price of admission. The scary part was listening to the GOP pundits on CNN say that there will be a "Draft Santorum" movement for President. God help us all.
So, our little corner of the world was taken care of....now what??
NO incumbent Democrat lost.
Let that sink in for a second.
Before I went to bed last night I knew that we got the house. Everyone on the panel said that the Senate wasn't going to happen.
Then, right as I was nodding off, James Carvelle let out a whoop. Turns out that some numbers were coming in that were turning positive for the Dems.
I get up.
We've got the house with a 34 seat margin. And we are 2 seats away from controlling the Senate.
Then, around noon, we gain one more seat. And finally, around 9pm, Virginia goes to the Dems.
Some of these races are close. But all have been called and should hold up. The Dems take the Senate AND the House. Wahoo!!!!
I gotta hold my pockets open and stand outside.....cya!!!

Remember, dearie....if the Dems don't deliver in four years, they're out on their arses, and the Reps are going to look pretty good.
...Cat...
As usual, you're wrong. Now let me show you why.
It's not about the Dems delivering. It's about the failed leadership of the Rep party. If there are reasonable bills put up and they are vetoed by Mr. "one-veto-in-6-years", they'll be shown up for the poor managers that they are and we'll have a stronger house and senate and a Dem president.
The Reps have to play ball to look good. The signs today are that they don't want to.
