My friend from Wisconsin sent me the following.

I thought my good state would be the first to prove that idealogy cannot

oppress individuals, but alas. I was wrong.

At least we elected some good officials.

I hope you all voted. If you didn't, endure my long, hard, cold stare and

suffer the shame.

So, Wisconsin wants every legal marriage to be between one man and one

woman...yet they voted in an openly homosexual congresswomen and voted in

the Governor who has publicly stated he will veto any measure banning gay

marraige. We're too busy milking cows to read up on politics.QUOTE]

The Democrats will take the House by about 20 seats, Republican majority of maybe one or two in Senate. The GOP voter base is not galvanised by this election, whereas the Dems are pulling out all the stops.

You really should have put a bet on ;)

On a serious note, I expected the Republicans to hold onto the Senate by the skin of their teeth, with a narrow Democratic win in the House of Representatives. But no, they've really surprised me in how well they've taken the fight to the Republicans.

Did anyone see Hilary Clinton's victory speech? She seems more than ready to go for 2008 now...
