Election day

I know I haven't been around in a long time, and it actually feels good to be clean of the political muck that I had fallen into as this blog progressed. Every now and then I feel bad for the few who had come to me for news and discourse, but with the explosion of blogs and everyone knowing everything as it is, it seemed obvious that those two or three regulars could find both similar quality and content elsewhere.

I'm as nervous as, well, a Democrat on election day about tomorrow. Certainly things look good, but they did for 2004 as well. And 2000. Both nights saw me up late, disappointed and defeated. Hopefully tomorrow night will be different.

What do I think? Here goes: In the House, the Dems come out with around 225 total seats, enough for a majority. The Senate sees a gain of 4 seats, which would fall short. And I haven't looked at Governor races, but I am disappointed already that Arnold will continue to govern California. Seems like such a waste, and goes to show that even in this favorable climate, Democrats who should win will lose.

Good luck to everyone in the hunt tomorrow on the good side. And for the rest of you, get out and vote.
