That said, Patrick ran a solid campaign, and he was really the only one who did so. Kerry Healey is extremely smart, but she just didn't run a good campaign.

Boston Globe is a paper in a super liberal blue state. I never had any delusions of its impartiality. It's like Fox News, only liberal!

I really don't get the wine thing either. We can make gay marriage legal, but wine in supermarkets? Think of the children!

Oh definitely, I never had delusions either, it's just that the levels of impartiality surprise me sometimes. Seven years living in Boston dulled me to it a bit though when I was reading it every day. Between the Globe and the Herald, there's no middle ground.

The wine and beer thing was annoying; now that I'm out of the state, it's nice to be able to stop by the grocery store to pick up a 6 pack or whatever. Who knows though, they did take away the ban on Sundays.

Also, Heath Shuler won - hopefully he ends up as a better Congressman than NFL QB:

BTW, looks like they're calling Montana for the Democrats leaving only Virginia to go (and there'll almost certainly be a recount there as the margin is small enough that the state will do it for free at the loser's request.)

/Not sure if everyone's calling it or not but there's about a 4,000 vote difference with 99% reporting.

The doll's dress matches the kid's.

I'm sorry (ah, who am I kidding...I'm not!), but that's one ugly family.

I bet that's not an American Girl doll either. Apparently they donate money to women's centers... some of which MIGHT, MAYBE go to abortion.

/or something.

Seriously...why is the girl making such a terrible face? It's like her life is ruined b/c daddy didn't get re-elected.

They look freaking miserable. I guess it's because he's going to be home a hell of a lot more.

OTW, you're right on...that is one fugly family.

Sadly, no, it was from Tuesday night. I saw the live footage.

She's probably crying because her father exploited the hell out of her and her siblings for his own personal gain then didn't even win.

She may also be crying because maybe now they'll have to move back to their two/three (can't remember which- either way, WAY too small for the size of the family) bedroom home in Penn Hills (suburb of Pittsburgh)- back story- this is the home they claim as their official residence, though they've never lived there. There was also a huge stink when the public got wind that even though they all lived in Virginia, since their "official" residence was that home in Penn Hills, the Penn Hills school district had to pay a bazillion dollars for the Santorum clan's cyber schooling.

33girl mentioned that the Santorum kids were dressed like the Amish.

The doll that kid's holding looks like it got the beat down after daddy didn't get re-elected.

The more I look at that picture the funnier it is. They remind me of the quiver full Duggars.

And Virginia has now been called. It is believed that Allen will concede by tomorrow night.

Yes! I finally voted for a winner!

And both houses now have Democratic majorities! It's about damn time.

AMEN!!!!

Although the last I checked, JD Hayworth was still refusing to concede to Mitchell, even though Mitchell is like ahead by 6,000 votes. Hello, you lost! Get over it! But then agian, I am talking about JD Hayworth, what else should I expect.

I'm so happy about the democratic congress, maybe the crap of NCLB (that makes my life a living hell as a teacher) will be changed (if even a little, like I don't know, actually GIVING US THE MONEY!!!!!)

Off my soapbox.
