looks like Mitch McConnell is keeping his seat. he's going to be the top republican in washington now.

anything that keeps the dems further away from 60 the better.

Fox did, but it was an accident.

GA called for McCain by a comfortably racist margin.

how come it isn't racist when they showed that like 95% of the black voters in SC voted for obama?

Because you assume blacks vote for Obama only because he's black. Being black myself I can name two I would never vote for Alan Keyes and Al Sharpton.

Remember the number of whites who won't vote for Obama just because he is black is far greater then blacks who will vote Obama just because he is black.

Remember early in the Dem primaries Hillary got most of the black vote.

Anyone else watching ABC? Diane Sawyer is a complete and utter waste of space. All of those protons, neutrons, and electons wasted. She could have been several small plants.

is the dems end up with 58 + 2 independents, it'd be an amazing time to be Lieberman.

I remember quite the opposite. african americans flocked to Obama once he won Iowa and delivered him South Carolina.
