Simply fantastic.
And even better, there are several more incumbent Repubs down in house races that are close.
And even better, there are a number of Republicans that won, Doolittle (CA) and Reynolds (NY), that are likely going to be arrested, forced to resign in shame, or both. Doolittle because of ties to Abramof and Reynolds due to Foley diddling pages.
And that's just off the top of my head.
Indeed. I think it's significant that a number of Republicans that still hold office (or have just taken office, like MN's Michelle Bachman) are going to turn out to be embarassments for their party & constituents.
I'm especially curious to see what happens in future testimonies by administration officials, when Democrats control subpoena power and questioning. Things could get really, really ugly for Bush & Co. before they leave.
How is it that they don't know about the two undecided states? Are they counting chads? We should have a uniform voting method.
We should have vote-by-mail like Oregon, and instant run-offs.
But besides that, they did call Montana for the Democrat (Tester) and Webb in Virginia seems to have a recount proof lead. Allen may be considering a concession.
That would put the Senate in Democratic control too.
In VA the vote is less than .5% different, requiring a recount by law.
In MT one county election official discovered he made a mistake and decided to restart his tally. And it was also close. But now it is over.
There are a dozen other races that are too close to call in the House.
In case that answer wasn't totally direct enough, T-Clog, under a certain % of difference, a recount is nearly automatic.
I'd definitely stay tuned to Wonkdorf, who will be as abreast of recount & concession dynamics as anyone in your circle of influence in these following days.
Slate also has an "explainer" column that provides a brief "what happens in Virginia and Montana":
