We did well, so far gaining five in the Senate and 12 in the house. But heck, I was expecting at least 7-8 seats gained in the senate and 20-30 in the house. I guess some could still come our way.

I shouldn't be whining on a great day like this.

1. Can we really trust those results? Word had it that the "election engineers (Rove et al.)"
were focused on preventing a Democratic Super Majority in the Senate.

2. I know. I feel the same way. Still President Obama will have sizable
majorities to work with in both houses- if not overwhelming manjorities.

4. I'm of the belief that real change can't happen without complete control
Witness how repukes have done EVERYTHING to disrupt or cause chaos -- no matter what the agenda. If it makes the Democratic Party look good, they'll be against it.
