I’m not sure exactly when I passed out in my chair last night, but when I woke up, MSNBC was declaring Obama the winner. So I figured it was safe to go to bed. Morning came awfully early today, but there’s apparently good news locally, as it seems that our teabagger Congresscritter lost. Not that she’s conceding, of course, but the AP has projected her to lose, and her opponent is up by about 12,000 votes. So that’s a good thing. But there are some 21,500 absentee ballots out there somewhere, and you never know how those will go. Still, up is better than down. Nationally, it looks as though Democrats picked up a net of 3 Senate seats. That’s about all I’ve had a chance to digest this morning. I’m beat, and it’s gonna be a long day at work (not as long as November 3, 2004, though).
