So we just got the Senate???And nothing on TV about it?

[Horse with no Name]

Did I miss something--MSNBC had a side picture of checkmarks for Virginia and Montana...

[NightOwwl]

1. It's all Rummy all the time.

They have successfuly stolen the spotlight.

[helderheid]

2. wait until we break up the media monopolies!

[SheilaT]

6. Good thing I clicked on this link or

office dweller that I am these days, would not have know Rumsfeld is resigning until I turned on Keith Olbermann later on.

That's damn near as good as winning the Senate IMHO.

[rodeodance]

3. yup---the WH is still good at controlling the news.

[maseman]

5. We don't have it until allen concedes

I do agree though that I had to dig to find out if Tester won. Rummy stole the spotlight which is fine by me anyway.

[ContraBass Black]

4. What about the VA recount?

[Richard Steele]

7. There's no way Allen will win that, and everyone knows it.

The last VA recount swung 27 votes- he needs seven THOUSAND.
Just heard CNN saying that- it's OVER. We WON.

All Waaallen can do is make a fool of himself with the "recount" nonsense.

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. Really? Really truly it is blue?

[Richard Steele]

14. It's ALL true-blue, fellow babies! Life is good! nm

[understandinglife]

10. Exactly. It's now Senator-elect Webb!!!!

BE AMERICA. ---

[ContraBass Black]

13. It's close enough for a procedural recount.

And it isn't official until afterward.

[Richard Steele]

17. Ironically, a lot of VA was ELECTRONIC this time- there's NOTHING to count!

A "recount" means...
they can take 10 seconds to look at the same screen again! BWAHAHA! :rofl:

Allen is finished!

[11 Bravo]

9. A recount can't even be requested prior to 11/27, but I'm confident.

This ain't Florida. Lawyers don't get to go back and go through the ballots, and the threshold for successfully challenging a vote is extremely high. No state-wide election has EVER been overturned with a margin anywhere near 7,000 votes. Just call them Senator Webb and ex-Senator Waaaallen.

[MGD]

11. Everyone is just waiting for Allen to concede or whatever.

[GreenTea]

12. That's why Rummy was timed exactly when it was, no coincidence, there are none in politics!

[bkcc]

16. Hey. I'm not complaining.

If the news they're using to hide the Dems' win is that Rummy is resigning, I say bring on more news to keep the win off the front page.

WOO HOO!!

[Phillycat]

15. It's not over yet.

It's not official in VA.
