<<"Into the wee hours of the morning, it was STILL unclear (as of 4:30 a.m.) if convicted Sen. Ted Stevens and under-investigation Rep. Don Young were going to lose.">>

There's gotta be something in the water up there in Alaska that makes people throw common sense out the window.

What is it with Alaskan voters? They have a convicted senator and a congressman with the ethics of a gerbil but yet they still reelect them...is there no shame or ethical compass up there? Oh wait, they elected Sarah the Loser.

Shame on the voters of Minnesota who voted back the most hateful wicked witch ever that screwball Michele Bachman. She better just sit there and shut up for the next two years. Also shame on the voters of Georgia whoi returned that clueless Lynn Westmoreland and slimy Saxby Chambliss. You people are disgusting in the extreme!

But most of all shame on you criminal loving Alaskans who returned two known criminals, Young and "Felon" Stevens. Let's build Stevens a Bridge to Prison! Hopefully Harry Reid will make evicting the Alaskan Felon the first order of business.

While we may not have reached 60 in the Senate we still will have a good majority in the Senate plus lots more power behind Nancy Pelosi.

Yes We Did!

We are watching that Minnesota race. 700 votes is a pretty slim margin. I'm glad they're taking their time with it.

Here in IL, we are pleased that Dick Durbin was re-elected handily. But here's a question: who will replace Barack Obama as our Senator? Who will replace Joe Biden in Delaware?

Maybe those are the questions for tomorrow.

Sarah, keep heart. Millions of us in the lower 48 see you as unaffected by the corruption now running rampant in our government. We will be waiting for you in 2012 to clean up the stench in Washington.

I haven't heard any of the news programs talk about this. If Ted Stevens is around to get sworn in on Jan. 20th., and he doesn't win his appeal, and his colleagues expel him from the Senate, the Governor of Alaska will be appointing a Republican to that seat. I guess it wasn't so dumb to stay in the race for Stevens after all!!

Not quite a clean sweep, but good enough!

We'll take it from here, thank you!
