Thank you Virginia!!
Your efforts and sane voting of Jim Webb for Senate have given our country back a Democratic Majority in Congress, which will finally put the brakes on this Age of Madness.

6. Me, too
My family has been in the US/colonies for 350 years. Isn't it a great day to be a liberal DAR? lol

17. I have never been interested in being in the DAR
because I didn't know there were any liberals there. My sister is a member so I have the credentials. Are there really liberals in the organization?

7. one step at a time. we won't win it all overnight.
And Arizona saw the light, so anything is possible! Look who they used to have for a governor! lol
(I say this, being from California, the stupid bear state that reelected the Gropenator).

13. I'm mourning Thelma Drake's win in the 2nd.
Phil Kellam was so close, he should have won just by staying home! Her campaign was the last dregs of the pond-scum-bottom-feeding-Delay-butt-kissing-Halliburton-whoring-Rovian-Playbook-for-idiots tactics. :cry: :beer: :banghead:

Oh wait, she's a professional "slum lord" in the Norfolk area, what was I thinking?

8. My birthfather and his family are Virginians
And there is a beautiful poem, I dedicate it to all from Virginia today, to those who saw the light...

"TO BE A VIRGINIAN, either by birth, marriage,
adoption, or even one's mother's side, is an introduction
to any state in the Union, a passport to any foreign country,
and a benediction from the Almighty God."

-Anonymous

9. I'm very proud that we voted out Maccaca, but am disappointed
that the bullshit so-called "marriage amendment" (more like "discrimination amendment") passed.

11. Well the CONS had to do SOMETHING TO get their base off their asses
What a better way than to copy the Ohio 2004 strategery?

18. this native Virginian is happy
It was great looking north to my native state seeing Webb oust the seemingly entrenched Allen.

Though not native to the state, Allen hails from my home district up around Winchester. I made the mistake of voting for him for governor in my first election. If the people of Virginia can vote out Allen, then we can easily imagine other great things they're capable of doing!

19. and good riddance to macacca-head!
I was sick to death of seeing him on TV:

throwing that football at events

or riding a horse wearing a cowboy hat

or smiling that sh*t-eating smile of his

or parroting the RW talking points, etc. etc.etc.

GOOD FOR US VIRGINIANS!

21. I'm interested to see how Webb is going to vote. I have confidence
he'll be a good senator for VA. Thank goodness Maccaca is outta there! That assclown needed to go!?

22. George Allen couldn't get out of the Senate fast enough for me
Jim Webb's victory was so doggone sweet. Finally, a Senator who truly represents Virginia, and one that we can take pride in!

23. Allen was such an embarrassment.
A california jock in cowboy boots representing our state? naaah, he really represented the GOP and towed their party line.

Buh byyyy Felix.
