First, how in the hell does Ted Stevens win in Alaska?! WTF is wrong with those goofy people up there. Incumbency is so powerful that not even a felony can stop one from getting knocked off.
Second, McConnell keeps his seat. Alright that's not too bad I guess. I mean he is only the leader of the Republican party in the Senate and Congress has a 10% approval rating because of his actions. Give him another Six Years.
But what really is killing me is Minnesota. I used to listen to Al Franken on the radio and I have some sort of weird fandom regarding his campaign. Not just that winning puts us closer to 60 but that personally I'd like to see him win.
Sure all candidates put their hearts into winning. I'm sure if Norm Coleman had a heart it will be broken by a small loss as well. But I know how much Franken loves this country and wants to help this country become a better place for us and the rest of the world.
In a world in which Barack Obama has just become president I'm still awed that Al Franken can become a Senator. He deserved to win, he would have been a good Senator, and if he loses in this Al Gorian way it will be my only regret about Nov. 4th.
