MSNBC is reporting that President Bush is about to go to bed. He’ll call Nancy in the morning.

UPDATE: They’re also saying that President Bush is going to take advantage of the Democrat majority to pass his amnesty program.

Comment away… I know I’ll be up all night.

[7:06 p.m.] We will have results soon from Georgia, Virginia, Indiana, and several other states.

UPDATE: Of course we’ll also be keeping a close eye on Mark Harris’s race to win election to the Pennsylvania General Assembly in the 42nd district. Pennsylvania returns won’t be available until after 8, but this is the link for the PA General Assembly returns.

UPDATE: So far the calls have been made for Casey over Santorum, Brown over DeWine, Menendez over Kean, and for PA Gov. Rendell over Swann and Jodi Rell in CT. None of these calls are particularly surprising, the interesting calls (Virginia, Missouri, Maryland, Rhode Island, Connecticut Senate and Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Florida House seats) have yet to be made. Note: Obviously we’re not reporting on every election, only those of interest that are not giveaways. For example, the fact that Dick Lugar won reelection in Indiana is non-news.

UPDATE: Of course we know by now that Democrats have gained control of the House. Nancy Pelosi will now be third in line to the Presidency as Speaker of the House. Though all the networks called MD-Senate for Cardin long ago, with 48% reporting Steele is still ahead 50%-48%. VA-Senate is still uncertain with 98% reporting, and the Show Me State’s results are unknown at this time as well.

Though this is sobering news, allow me to point out a silver lining: there have been rumors around the Hill that should the Republicans lose the House, Pence and Shadegg would run for Minority Leader and Minority Whip, respectively. This could be the dawning of a new era of Republican re-discovery of their conservative principles. Only time will tell.

This thread will remain open because the control of the Senate is still unknown…. stay tuned…

UPDATE: Missouri is still too close to call, with Republicans privately expressing worry because St. Louis and Kansas City (liberal strongholds) have yet to be added to the tally. With 100% reporting Webb has the Virginia Senate race by less than 3,000 votes, or less than 1/10 of a percent - this will certainly go to a recount and absentee ballots are unknown, so this race isn’t over yet. Montana is still too close to call. Tennessee will probably go for Corker (Republican hold) but hasn’t been called yet.

UPDATE: The Senate race in Tennessee has been called for Bob Corker. Democrats must take the remaining seats, Montana, Missouri, and Virginia, in order to take control of the Senate.

Despite this people are still running around trying to scare me. If I don’t vote GOP then Nancy Pelosi will become Speak of the House, the Cubbies will win it all and the world will end!

I would encourage everyone to vote tomorrow. Vote for the Republicans, vote for the Democrats, vote for the Libertarians, or vote for some good local independents. Whatever you do though, don’t vote out of fear. Don’t vote for a RINO you hate because you are afraid of the Democrats taking control and ruining this country. The tactics being used by the GOP and their proxies to GOTV this election cycle are bordering on obscene. Vote out of love for your country, not fear of liberals.

If I have to be coerced with terror tactics to go to the polls and vote for the GOP, a party that fights tooth and nail against everything I believe in, then I don’t have much of a choice do I? I sincerely hope what the GOP is saying about this election is not true, that if you care about this country and its future then you must vote Republican. If it is then we are living in a tyranny. If I cannot vote out of office Republicans that are corrupt and abuse the Constitution because it means that an even worse sort of politician could take control then what the hell does that say about GOP management of this nation for the last six years?

Let the Republicans lose and watch what happens . . . the world will keep turning. The sun will come up on Wednesday. The real question is what will the Republicans do to get their base back? Will they actually run conservative candidates? We’ll see I guess. If all of the horrible things that could happen do happen under Democratic leadership then it just may rouse the American people from their slumber. And that alone would be worth a thousand GOP victories at the polls.

Seriously, the next person who walks up to me and tells me to vote Republican because I don’t really have another choice is going to get unloaded on.
