When I last posted I thought that the Republicans would hold onto the Senate, but they didn’t. See the MSNBC article “Democrats win control of Senate“. It is interesting because the state has not declared a winner and they are still canvasing and their will probably be a recount.
If this holds, it will be an interesting two years. As I said in an earlier post, it will be interesting to see how the Democrats behave. If they try to exact revenge on the Republicans, I think they will be out of control of the House and Senate in two years.

With Rumsfeld leaving and a new Secretary of Defense coming on may dampen the nastiest of the likely upcoming hearings and questions.

It is certainly going to be a fun two years. Bring on the Presidential Election!

I have been watching the results this election night and watching MSNBC and CNN call races. They have called Senate races for Democrats when the reported polls are showing the Democratic candidate losing. One case is Maryland where Michael Steele is leading, but they are saying that Cardin is going to win. They are not calling Senate races, except a few solid wins by the Republicans, for Republicans. They are being very cautious. They seem to be trying to solidfy the term of liberal media and ride a semi-Democratic wave tonight.
