Let's review the highlights !

[kentuck]

Bush and Laura get off their plane, carrying an umbrella, on a drizzly and foggy day. The first reports come in and Bernie Sanders has been declared the victor in Vermont Senate race. A Socialist has won a seat in the US Senate! Then, the much-anticipated news that Rick Santorum had lost! The # 3 guy in the Republican Senate! Soon thereafter, DeWine of OH is unseated by Sherrod Brown, a true liberal.

Lieberman is declared the winner and Lamont concedes. The networks predict that Cardin has won in MD but Steele refuses to concede. Harold Ford looks in deep trouble in Tennesse but closes the gap at the end to give a most-respectable showing. George Allen is ahead of James Webb all night long - until the very end. As of this morning, Webb is ahead and should be the next Senator from Virgina.

Likewise in Missouri, McKaskill was behind all night long, until the very end. It seemed as if it was planned that way, in hopes they would concede? But, I digress...Claire McKaskill started pulling ahead when the votes from St Louis and Kansas City and won the Senate seat. And Whitehouse was declared the winner over Chaffee.

For a while, the Democrat appeared ready to upset Jon Kyl in AZ. In hindsight, perhaps we should have spent more money there? But, in the end, the rubber-stamper kept his seat. In MT, Conrad Burns was hoping to ride his recent rise in the polls to a victory. As of last report, the Democrat, Tester, was ahead by slightly less than 200 votes.

In the House, we say Curt Weldon go down. Also, Kathryn Harris, and J.D. Hayworth. Also, Jim Leath in Iowa. And Nancy Johnson in CT...Big name after big name Republicans bit the dust. Because they were rubber stampers that went along with the right-wing radicals in the Whitehouse. Today, they are attempting to assimilate what happened and are picking up the pieces of their explosive disaster...
