Nah, I was just going with this for the early results. I would imagine that some other threads will pop up.
Like when Macacawitz is officially defeated, for example..... ;)
Good news from Florida, but hardly shocking......
Bill Nelson (hard right DLC) has kicked Cruella Harris' election fixing ass.
So the election thieves of 2000 and 2004 are defeated tonight. That alone is reason for celebration.

GOP Officials Call To Impound Voting Machines
(KDKA/AP) PITTSBURGH In one of the most closely-watched US Senate races in the nation, some controversy started brewing before the polls even closed tonight.
The race between the two-term Republican Senator Rick Santorum and Democratic Challenger Bob Casey has been a heated battle throughout the campaign – from the political mudslinging to their contentious debate.
Now KDKA has learned that the Republican State Committee has sent a letter to the Secretary of State asking that voting machines in 27 counties that have been accused of being malfunctioning – be impounded tonight
The issue has to do with reports that some of the electronic voting machines were not working properly.
Pennsylvania GOP officials claimed there were reports that some machines were changing Republican votes to Democratic votes. They asked the state to investigate and said they were not ruling out a legal challenge.
According to Santorum's camp, people are voting for Santorum, but the vote either registered as invalid or a vote for Casey.
Asked if the party would consider legal action, state Republican executive director Scott Migli said, "We've got all options on the table at this point. We feel like the electoral system has been left up to computer technicians."
"It seems like he's trying to set up a voter fraud case. We've seen absolutely nothing like this going on," Casey spokesman Larry Smar said. "He's provided absolutely no evidence that this is occurring."
Cathy Ennis, spokeswoman for the Department of state said the state had not received any reports of switched votes.
"Every election has some glitches on every type of voting system," Ennis explained. "This is not atypical."
In Lancaster and Lebanon Counties, polls were ordered to remain open for one extra hour due to glitches with the new machines.
Nonetheless, state election officials say no major problems were reported.
State election officials said late Tuesday they had received no reports from the counties of any such malfunctions. Democrats also said there was no evidence to support the Republican claims,
chalking up the complaints to political shenanigans.
In Lebanon County, county administrator Jamie Wolgemuth said a human programming error affected devices that set up ballot machines. Paper ballots were used there until glitches were fixed, Ennis said.
"People were kind of joking about it," said Robin Wenger, an election-machine inspector in Jackson Township. "I haven't seen anybody in here who has been angry or walked out."
Similar issues arose in Lancaster County, and both counties extended voting until 9 p.m.
More than 40 vote-scanning machines throughout Lancaster County malfunctioned, county chief clerk Andrea McCue said. Residents waited as long as 30 minutes to cast ballots, and some voters in affected precincts were asked to fill out ballots which were then placed in sealed envelopes. Those ballots were to be scanned in later in the night.
Cecilia Martinez, executive director of The Reform Institute, a sponsor of the 1-866-MYVOTE1 voter problem hot line, said operators had received nearly 2,000 calls from Pennsylvania by mid-afternoon, with nearly one-third of the calls coming from Lancaster County.
Among the complaints were people having to use provisional ballots and "super-long lines with confusion," she said.
"I think the new voting machines are clearly problematic," Martinez said. "We'll have to wait and see if this is a technical glitch or human error."
In Westmoreland County, many electronic voting machines were programmed with the wrong date, forcing some voters to use paper ballots or wait in long lines until new machines could be brought in. Ennis said much of the problems in Westmoreland were due to human error.
State Republicans asked Secretary of State Pedro Cortes to investigate what they said were instances in at least 12 counties where voters allegedly tried to vote for Republican candidates but that the machines reflected Democratic votes.

Maybe, but don't you find it disturbing that that many people would still vote for him in spite of everything that's come out about him in the past month or so? Floridians must love their boy loving pedophile congressmen! Foley should run for President of NAMBLA!

I support Murtha as Majority Leader. Mainly because his opponent is a traitorous AIPAC warmongering shill
Webb is up by 12,000 votes at last count.
That should be enough to bury Macacawitz if it holds.

I see you're subscribing to the Sammy Hagar method of math, as Webb is up by just over 8,000 votes.
I have a question though Ford, it seemed like every station (I watched MSNBC, CNN, and NBC), that when they asked Howard Dean about Iraq, he said they were going to plan an exit strategy (since their isn't one), but they we'ren't going to "cut and run like George Bush and the Republicans have said." Isn't that why people voted Democrat? To hurry up and start phasing withdrawl? I understand that they were all putting Dean on the spot, but only a jackass wouldn't have known they were going to ask that SPECIFIC question.
Similiarly, to liberals, do you have a problem that Consevative Dems got elected? I look forward to seeing if they can all work together.

And I don't have a problem with Murtha, he works hard, and represents his people well. BUT, after a 12 year hiatus from leading the House, he sounded angry and foolish, like Gingrich did in '94 calling it a "revolution."

Not so.
If Webb is indeed the winner (it looks like he is now, but there is a recount coming up...I suspect he'll win), I'll give the man the benefit of the doubt and give him a chance.
I won't immediately go cryin' and whining like you libs did in 2000 and 2004.
