1. Awesome.

Here's hoping that Franken wins in the Minnesota recount, that the remaining votes being counted in Alaska give the race to Begich, and that that motherfucker Saxby Chambliss gets his ass handed to him in the GA runoff. We might end up with a sixty-seat majority yet.

10. I love the idea of a runoff-

I am hopeful that some people who voted the "wrong way" the first time will have a change of heart, or stay home.

5. And the Dems will pick up at least 1 more Senate seat & a few more house seats...Along

with another state NC (15 electoral seats)...A landslide!

Hopefully the Dems will have their people monitoring all the undecided races, because the slimy republicans will try and steal them all.

9. Great.

Keep your fingers crossed for the remaining race totals.

11. Great! I am crossing my fingers on GA and MN.

Alaska is a lost cause....we should give it back to Russia and just keep the oil flowing into Canada.

Just kidding about Russia

12. Fabulous! Another Senate seat! Now we need to grab the Ga seat

from Chambliss! Go Martin! http://www.actblue.com/page/vvmartin There is a runoff for this seat.

14. Sweet.

15. Georgia will be very difficult. Not that we shouldn't try, though.

Thing is, I think the only thing that might make it happen is for Obama to make some campaign stops there and he has more important things to do right now.
