Al Franken Wins?

It looks like Minnesota has a new Senator... FINALLY! Oh wait, I guess it isn't over yet. Hopefully, this won't be tied up in the courts for too much longer.

The R Word

Can we say it now? Really? Well, perhaps we should wait until 2012 before celebrating it. In the mean time, we can work hard to make it happen!

The House Is Now in Order

C4O All-Star Mary Jo Kilroy has just been announced as the winner in the OH-15 House race! This means that the new House will open next month with 257 Democrats & 178 Republicans. Hooray! :-)

Btw, Ohio now has a majority Democratic Congressional Delegation. Isn't that great? This certainly makes up for the recent news of Louisiana growing redder. Ohio's bigger, and it's growing bluer. ;-)

Divided States of America?

Are we still a polarized nation? Charles Lemos thinks so. I guess there's some truth to this.

Still, I don't think we're as polarized around "culture wars" crap as we used to be. And if President Obama can really deliver the change we need on the economy, we'll see a continuing death of the "culture wars".
