With luck, "compassionate conservatism", aka modest tax cuts and massive spending, is now dead, at least as a Republican election strategy.

That is certainly one of the few bright sides from tonight. Hopefully, it will be a lesson well learned.

Yep I think the Republicans will have learned this lesson well! Mo More Taxcuts ever! We must pay for our massive spending!

Burns closes to 5,500 at 75% in...

Tester 139,224 50%
Burns (i) 133,724 48%
Jones 7,085 2%

I wonder what the 7,000 libertarians think they're accomplishing?

Do you really think our chances have improved now to get more tax cuts???? As for spending, non defense discretionary spending has been pretty much flat since Pres. Bush took office...it's the entitlement spending that's gone nuts (aka soc. sec. & medicare), & it will continue to as more baby boomers hit retirement over the next couple of years. A democratic Congress doesn't exactly help spending either.
