Al Franken, certainly. Tom Udall in NM won, as did the two Democratic Representatives in the northern part of the state, Lujan and Lujan-Grisham (not close relatives).

Alan Grayson stayed in office in Florida, showing they're not all a bunch of angry old bigots.

All of these people are going to be burrs under the GOP saddle and there are many more all over the country who are going back to DC.

And after another 2 years of a GOP controlled legislature, maybe a few more people will wake up and get off the sofa. Sofa spuds unite! The only thing you have to lose is the destruction of your economic life, your civil rights, your clean water, your breathable air, and the right to vote, itself, as corporations begin to govern by fiat.
