CNN has called MT for Tester.

during the bush press conference it did.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Who can pay attention when there's a Bush press conference going on?

― Edward III (edward iii), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

It's a dead news cycle anyway, Dems be sleeping.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

So can we just say the Dems control the Senate now and be done with it? Does anyone expect any surprises in VA?

CNN called MT for Tester a couple of hours ago -- I think Wolf just didn't want to feel left out.

"In Montana, Democrat Jon Tester, a organic grain farmer who lost three fingers in a meat grinder, prevailed in a protracted contest with three-term Sen. Conrad Burns (news, bio, voting record), who was weakened politically by his ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff."

I misread this as "three-arm Sen. Conrad Burns."

Cockburn & St Clair point out that a number of Rahm's Blue Dogs went down to defeat, and that "economic populism" was the core of the Dem pickups: "If the Democrats keep on pushing the old Clinton neoliberal recipe as now purveyed by Emanuel and the others, they will not recapture the White House in 2008, or even bolster their position in the Senate."

So can we just say the Dems still control the White House and be done with it? Does anyone expect any surprises in FL?

In other news Henry Kissenger not dead, or at least reanimated for the purposes of telling Fox news that Rummy and Bob have different perzonalitiez.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, says here Conrad Burns ain't gunna concede, thus denying the world another amusing speech on the level of Keyes's concession.

NPR: "Matthew Dowd, what happened to Karl Rove's math?"

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link
