A few thoughts before bed:
- Who would have thought that so much would hinge on Yellowstone County, Montana?
- Chris Matthews is speculating that Webb's lead in Virginia is large enough (~8,000 votes) that Allen will concede the election without a recount. I'll believe that when I see it.
- I very much did not expect Claire McCaskill to win by a larger margin than the Stem Cell initiative passed by. Everything I read about the stem cell constitutional amendment led me to believe that it had wide support. But apparently it didn't as it seemed to ride McCaskill's coattails, trailing for most of the night until the urban votes were tallied.
- I feel sorry for Katherine Harris. I don't think she deserves the reputation that she got in 2000. Plus, Republicans seem to like her even less than Democrats. When President Bush was campaigning in Florida earlier this week, she showed up at an event and he wouldn't let her participate. He made her sit in the gallery. This was his party's nominee for Senate. Talk about cheap. But, despite feeling sorry for her, I'm quite happy that she lost her campaign.
- Who would have thought the Democrats would be this close to taking both houses? We'll have to see how things shake out tomorrow for the final result, but the signs are good for the Dems.
- Why does it take St. Louis so long to tally votes? They had similar problems in '04, but have since upgraded all the election equipment. Some needs to explain this.
