A Joyful and Exiting Night
Finally the Democrats have the majority in congress again - and was that a landslide victory! Michael Moore sent out an email today saying:
Thank you for all the time you gave this week to get out the vote. Some of you have been at this since the large demonstrations of February 2003 when we tried to stop the war before it started. Only 10-20% of the country agreed with us at that time. Remember how lonely that was? Some people were even booed! Now, 60% of the country agrees with our position. They are us and we are them. What a nice, strange, hopeful feeling.
But the senate race was and is still exiting. At about midnight the online betting sites turned the predictions from a Republican to a Democratic senate where they have stayed (80% pro Dem. at the moment). I went to bed at 1 thinking that I’d know the results in the morning but the numbers are still so close. I hope this time the Republicans are the ones who have to take the very close defeat.
