(Yes, I know. It's not technically the "First 100 Hours" in the "Speaker Pelosi" sense. But since this series won't be around then, just look at it as the "First 100 Hours" after the election. Patronize us, Mmmmkay?)
Today's Menu Includes:
83 Diaries Overall

- 20 On Senate races
- 20 On Various election races

This is an attempt to compile a fairly comprehensive listing of election-related diaries that have recently been posted. Most of them are House or Senate races but there are also some local ones, as well as the occasional 'general info' diary.
Reminder - If you are doing a diary on a specific race, particularly a House or Senate race, PLEASE, put the race number (or XX-Sen) at the beginning of the diary header. More diarists are now doing this and it is immensely helpful.
