As of this morning, despite their massive dollar advantage, voter supression drives, robo-calling schemes, and propaganda network, the Republicans have lost control of the House in a big way. As for the Senate, it appears that the Demcrats will also pick up the six seats they need for control, with the Allen-Webb race in Virginia the deciding factor on whether Dick Cheney gets to be a tiebreaker for two more years. At present, Webb is ahead in that race, but only by 8000 or so votes – close enough that there will likely be a recount demanded.
So, to the right-wingers out there who in the last couple of presidential elections have shouted down recount efforts with cries of “Just declare Bush the winner and let’s move on!”: I’m waiting for you to denounce the coming Virginia recounts and just declare Webb the winner.
Because, of course, you’re all nothing if not consistent in your Fair-and-Balanced(tm)-ness.
