We did it!

Well here we are... ready to start another round of elections. This time we aren't fighting to win the Senate and turn it blue we are keeping control of it!

As of about 6:00pm tonight: Reuters and the AP have declared VA to be in the DEM column and with that the entire Senate. This is monumental. An end to the twelve year dominance by the fear-mongering republicans. This was an election not just against corruption and the Iraq war...but (pay attention Ken Mehlman) for a Democratic platform and issues. Issues like higher minimum wage, a cleaner environment, well funded schools, prescription drug benefits for all. Here we go... in the drivers seat. Doesn't it feel nice to not only have the keys but also the steering wheel?

Take a few moments to enjoy what democracy feels like -- this is it. :)
