Bill Bennett on CNN: "You will see a draft movement for Rick Santorum to run for president of the United States."
Is this why Bill left his seat early? To start campaigning?

If Conrad Burns wins Montana, and he's indicted via Abramoff, does Burns appoint a replacement himself, or is there a special election?

yeah, a socialist or a stealth Repub, that's Mainstream Dem logic in action. He's a hack.
Green senate candidate in NY got 1%. Really, "antiwar" people, nice statement in a meaningless election.

Yes, it will take weeks before we know the final composition of the Senate, but this limbo will be a little more pleasant than 2000 FL and 2004 OH, won't it?

Meagher is quite red, but on 2000 (certainly not on 2002!) figures, not quite red enough to take the margin under .25%.

I was shocked to discover that most of the stuff in my area went off without a hitch. Biggest problem I had personal knowledge of: adjoining precinct was (initially) forcing folks to cast provisional ballots in situations where they should be entitled to cast normal ballots (where the voter is registered at a previous address in the same county, or has a different address than the current registration address on a driver's license). That appeared to be cleaned up by mid-day after some squawking by nonpartisan election attorneys and a robocall to all of the head poll judges from the board of elections.
I am sad because my father lost his judicial race, but we are all thrilled because of the huge Ohio Dem Sweep. Tiberi's win (and Debbie Pryce's possible win) must be bitter candy for those fuckers over at the Ohio GOP!

I knew someone who went to high school w/her and apparently she was a major druggie HOOR. But I'm sure she thinks that had nothing to do with any good university shooting her down, it was all evil affirmative action.

Larry Sabato: It's a possibility, though right now there are hundreds of possible combinations for both parties' presidential tickets. Hillary Clinton is likely to go into the '08 race with support from roughly 40 percent of likely primary and caucus voters. A candidate can win with 40 percent in a split field, but a candidate can also lose with 40 if a single opponent arises. This will be the question for the Dems in 2008. Barack Obama is certainly a rising star in the Democratic Party, although the Democrats chose another charismatic, one-term Senator in 2004 and it didn't do a whole lot to help their outcome.

She didn't get shot down. She got wait-listed. And everyone else on the wait list got accepted but she withdrew from the list before that happened and started this hateful campaign. I guess she didn't want to get to U of M as much as she wanted to get into right-wing politics.
