Matt Drudge Braces For Impact

No siren, but Drudge prepares for his worst nightmare-



I was blogging some of the earlier results- here.

TPMCafe has been continuously updating with live results- here.

MSNBC and CNN have officially called/projected a Democratic House takeover. It's a significant margin, too. I believe the gain was between 30 and 35 seats. The Senate is not expected to turn, but no one is calling it... it's too close. No news from Missouri yet. In Virginia, the race is insanely close, with talks of an automatic recount if the race closes tight. It will be in the AM hours here on the east coast before we know for sure whether voters chose to stay the course for the Senate.

My friend Bill is upset because he thinks a House win isn't enough. It's Senate or bust, he says. Simply losing the House, he says, will be blamed tomorrow by GOP spinners on the scandals in that branch this past year... and not as a repudiation of the Bush/Republican agenda. The Senate is needed to seal that. It's hard to disagree with that.

That's why I'm (naively?) holding onto hope. The world needs to know that we said 'enough'.
