NRO: "Looking at the numbers, not inconcievable that the Democrats take the Senate. Based on the precints that are left, it is possible that the GOP could go 0 for Virginia, Tennessee, Montana and Missouri. It is a good, good night for Democrats, a bad bad night for Republicans, and a brutal night for my predictions. It is a tushie-kicking from coast to coast."

Compare this to other sixth-year midterm elections, and then call it a tragedy.

No, it is NOT a good night for us, but it's not nearly what it SHOULD have been in a NORMAL sixth-year election. Not by a mile.

The country truly is divided if it couldn't completely wipe out the Republicans in the midst of such an unpopular war.

The question is, will the Republicans step back, start building campaigns for 2008 with conservative candidates who can win, or will we see this weak victory that just barely pulled the Dems from political pbscurity as some kind of total disaster for a party which has bucked the odds of history, in large party thanks to the President so many here despise?

If you're trying to say that defeatism isn't the path to recovery I'd have to agree.

"Compare this to other sixth-year midterm elections, and then call it a tragedy."

It's a tragedy ... for the nation.
