- We're looking at a recount (!) in the Minnesota Senate race, as Franken and Coleman are apparently less than 600 votes apart out of almost 3 million cast. I still say a generic Dem (like Mike Ciresi) would have beaten Norm by 7-10 points. Unfortunately, that lunatic Michele Bachmann was re-elected.
- Terrible what happened in California with the gay marriage initiative. But I've got a feeling they'll go back in four years and reverse that.
- I really wish Jesse Helms had lived six more months, to see 1) his former seat fall to a Democrat, and 2) the election of a black man as president.
- Yes, despite all the Wright/Farrakhan/Israel bullshit, Obama won the Jewish vote, big-time, and even outperformed Kerry. Mazel tov, Barack.
- So, what ever happened with that Whitey tape? I'm beginning to think maybe it never existed at all.
- Book that looks pretty stupid right now: Shelby Steele's "A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can't Win."
- I can't wait to read the Newsweek post-election opus- it's one of my favorite parts of every presidential race. They've started posting it online.
