Missouri will go well into the night. May also go to recount for all we know. As will Virginia, which still has military votes to count. This is what you have to expect when you rack up the size of government, fail to effectively counter the media, fail to purge out corruption as soon as it is uncovered, and have limp fish leading the way (Hastert/Frist). Now, I know if we lose the Senate it may hose us on a USSC Justice - depends on how much Bush is willing to fight for his nominees. I'm totally sick of this "get along with the Dems" attitude. GWB better come out armed with those veto pens, and use that bully pulpit. He is not a lame duck regardless of what the press and the DUmmies say.
Barone just said that in Virginia absentee ballots must be received by Nov. 7 and are being counted along with the other votes.
Bush will not get another SC or Appeals Ct. justice confirmed. He'll have to recess appoint all of them, even the Supreme Court, and then hope for a GOP president in 2008. That's the best he can hope for, unless he wants to start nominating Dems. Eisenhower tried that, and we got Wm. Brennan.
