1. great news!!!!!

he'll help deliver Pennsylvania for a Dem next year!

4. It's obvious that FBI investigation really backfired

The timing was terrible.

9. Thank you John Ashcroft

Please bug the Democratic nominee's office next year.

12. I believe the pResident authorized and ordered this investigation

as a political dirty tricks operation. Junior just used the FBI instead of Cuban exiles.

Street should be demanding a Independent Prosecutor reveal the links of Bush and the White House to this illegal investigation.

13. Works for me

May Bush continue to be hoisted upon his own petard... that fuck.

2. Thank God

If Street had lost the world would relly be upside down tonight.

3. Finally, some good news to cheer about!!!!

:party: :party: :party:

5. Yeehaw!

I was so afraid all Repubs would be elected. The country is already way more right wing than I thought. I'm still crossing my fingers for Salt Lake City.

[lovedems]

6. Yeah!

This is probably the best news I've heard all day! The Rovian bug planted in his office didn't work did it! Let that be a lesson to you KKKarl!

7. Is Pittsburgh a Democratic city?

I am not sure.

I hope next November, all Philidelphians come out in full force against Bush.

And the webserver for the real time votes just went down because there are too many users.

15. Pittsburgh like most northern cities is democratic

But not entirely liberal.

I'm glad to see the (D)'s coming back into town!

[prolesunited]

8. Nice to see the GOP

smear campaign didn't work. Go Philly! :toast:

[PROGRESSIVE1]

10. The GOP couldn't steal this one!!!

:dem:

[chookie]

11. Pittsburgh is kicking Republican ass tonight!!

The Democrats here are winning, and it is NOT close!

Big thumbs down to Republicans here. One of the reasons, perhaps the biggest one: Bush.

No link -- tv coverage here.

18. A severe administration of some Rethug ass kicking by the Dems in PA

The County Executive Race in Allegheny County was a laugher:http://www.post-gazette.com/election/
57.8% for Onorato the Democrat
42.2% for Roddey the Repub
Had to laugh, Bush was making recorded calls for Roddey in the last days of the campaign. Thanks Junior for the help!!!!

The State Supreme Court race was likewise lopsided:

Baer (D) 56%
Orie (R) 44%

Coupled with the aforementioned defeat of Junior and Asscraft's boy Katz twas a good night!
Thank you the good people of Pennsylvania!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BuckeFushe]

14. Yeah, but Kentucky is lost and Mississippi isn't looking good early on

Mississippi re-elected most of the Dems in important positions, but Treasure and Gov ain't looking real good. So Shrub's little escapade in PA backfired, but the pukes are gaining Kentucky. Any chance of a recall?

Just wondering.

[are_we_united_yet]

16. OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!

[Ramsey]

17. It's good to live in Philly!!

Take that all you Democrats for Katz!!

We were joking at a dinner party tonight how typical Philly it is that a "federal investigation" makes an incumbent Democrat MORE popular :evilgrin:

Or maybe just a sign of the sheer incompetence of the FBI. Whatever, we got our Democrat here in Philly and we are happy!
