I noticed that about the sitcoms, too! I couldn't believe it. The networks must not have liked the results that were coming in and so it was not "newsworthy." This is the first time I remember that happening. Aren't the returns usually all that's on for hours in the evening of an election night, even mid term? I'm sure if the rats had been sweeping, they would have kept with the news. They didn't even show the Rush interview on NBC? Unbelievable!

We have cable and kept Fox News on and I was following FR most of the night, soaking it all in and enjoying all the fun as the races were called for the pubbies. I kept hoping against hope that Simon would pull it off ... Did you hear that McClintock's race is still up in the air and that they're asking for helpers to watch the absentee ballots being counted? There's a thread running on that. It sure would be wonderful if he could squeak by and win the Controller's seat. That would give us one, at least, and I really like McClintock.

I want ANWR and I want JUDGES and I want HOMELAND SECURITY! I'm not sure how I feel about the National Sales Tax idea that was floated today as being considered. I always thought that the flat tax was the way to go.

We have Cox cable - ugh - and I had, natch, Fox on from 3 (Brit) on - only stopped for a while about 4 to check my "charges" - (thank the Lord for seniors, they vote early and enthusiastically) - and wanted to be half and half TV and ATRW/FR but couldn't handle the two different rooms.
By nine off to bed as was thrilled with nation but, as often, disgusted with California.

This is the first time that I have not watched the results on a "major" network BUT we have only had Fox for about a year and often are not TV enabled. Fascinating that you also noticed "majors" not on story. We take two papers - LA Times and Register - will see if they have explanations. Did anyone else notice this. Was not sure it was just my inadequate surfing skills.

GO JUDICIAL SYSTEM!!! However - remember Earl Warren who changed his stripes when appointed. We need as many as possible!!!

Frankly I don't care whether our wonderful President wants to send out a spin on a national sales tax or a flat tax - either one gets a desirable dialog going.
