Reid wins
Just heard it on Fox; can’t find a decent link as yet. This is bad news. He retains his seat, and probably the Majority Leader position, too. Chuck Schumer may be sad about it, though. No Majority Leader spot for … Continue reading →

It’s still election night
Well, I’m back at my computer. Not a moment too soon. I’m writing this very quickly; apologies if it’s kind of sketchy. Expectations were so high that reality couldn’t quite match it (particularly upset at how badly my guy Bielat … Continue reading →
It’s Election Day!
Well, it all comes down to today. I’m going to be especially busy during the day and early this evening, although I plan to be back at my trusty computer by the time things really get going later tonight. But … Continue reading →
