I've been waiting for this moment since I was eight
Twelve years ago I accompanied my mother to the DHQ in Sac for my first real involvement in an election. Twelve years ago was, of course, 1994, and I got to see the forces of evil sweep the entire country under the power of Gingrich's 'Contract with America'.
I've followed every election since, looking for hope, and a turnaround and I finally got it. There's almost no chance that a recount will change over eight thousand Virginian votes, so the final total will be 49D to 49R with 2I...but the Independents have both stated they will caucus with the Democrats, giving them a 51-49 majority in the Senate.
And there's simply no hand-wringing to be done, the Democrats are in control of the House, flat out. Its a complete rout, an entirely unexpected turnaround. GG, the Good guys win and I'm finally feeling like dancing after six elections.
