#2 Chuck:

I think the proper phrase is more like this:
"It's morning in America."

#3 If you think wearing a bucket on your head is bad, just think of Al Gore's guest spot on Saturday Night Live on dec. 14.I think he would want to loan that can from Carville.

#4 I'm from Georgia, the first state to go 100% electronic. It is interesting that Tom Murphey, who had the distinction of being the longest running Speaker of a State House, and thought to have a lock on his district, suddenly got booted. I suspect that the new electronic measures successfully exorcized some "voters". Sorry, Tom, you'll just have to wait til Sweet Jesus comes in the Clouds of Glory to see your faithful constituency again...

With that on top of electing a republican senator and governonr, the dems will be singing "The Night the Lights Went out In Georgia" for a few hours. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll see what furious huffing and puffing the editorial page of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution will be doing now...

#6 Do you think Vegas will have a betting line for when/if Algore backs out of SNL?

#7 Of all the comments I have read or heard about this, not one has dealt with the war and Iraq and the President and Repub's stance on these issues as the most pressing and ones in which the Federal government can and has to do something. My vote was based 100% on that and nothing else. The Dems will continue to pay for being seen as soft on terrorism and not too damn concerned about internal security as a result of that Mommy boy Bubba the last time around.

#8 re: Gray Davis - gee, thanks Fred... I didn't vote for him, but the ones who did had to hold their noses and vote straight Dem otherwise he'd be out on his ass as he should be

#9 Hey Jack!

On FoxNews, I heard one of the talking heads state that Al Gore would pick up the pieces of the democratic party and target it as a war-opposition party. Al's essentially betting on the Iraquis and against the US Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force.

Bad Bet....

#10 More good Missouri news. The governor's still Democratic but the Republicans control both houses of the Missouri legislature. The first female speaker of the Missouri House will be one Catherine Hannaway. Remember that name.

#11 Frank, I think there was a lot of nose-holding, on both sides, in this election. I pity any pol that thinks he/she has a mandate.

#12 I agree, but as a disclaimer, here in San Diego, the voters went for Simon over Davis 300,000 to 230,000. The only positive thought is that Davis, knowing how disliked he is, gives up thoughts of Senator or even *gasp* President (as was being thrown around in 2000), and has less of a reason to take ~~bribes~~ contributions for votes on specific legislation.

#15 Davis vs Simon was a race between worse and horrible. Worse won.

#16 Sorry PJ, Davis vs. Simon wasn't worse vs. horrible, It was a battle between the corrupt and the incompetent. The corrupt won.

I blame my wife who cancelled out my Simon vote. I could never get her to see the connection between Davis and the $400 electric bill we recieved last July.
