Santorum’s career in the Senate is done, and I want to be one of the first to say that is a good thing. I will post more big developments as they happen.
*** Update ***
The House sorostitute, Katherine Harris, has been defeated, surprising no one. Looks like my money is safe.
Perry Como
Frist post!
Shawn
Awww, I wanted to be frist! Katherine (booby) Harris is gone, too!
Dave
NBC has called Cardin and Menendez. So it’s now about pickups.
JoeTx
Its not time to gloat for the winners, its time we start putting this country back together and move forward restoring our pride and standing in the world.
The Dems are going to have the spotlight and we need to hold them more accountable than the reigh-wing have held the republican party…
Baby Jane
I agree with JoeTx, in spite of the fact that I just got back from Redstate after doin’ a little Santorum gloatin’.
Perry Como
Cheers to that. I really, really, really, really, really want the Dems to win big tonight. For no other reason than to hold people accountable. That doesn’t mean the Dems get a free, or even easy ride.
But I’m a far left moonbat, so what do I know?
yet another jeff
Yeah!!! No more Santorum, no more DeLay…mmm, tequila is tasting good tonight.
Now, to apply the first rule of holes to this mess.
Sherard
Now THAT I can agree on. An ignorant bigot is no more. Nothing wrong with that, no matter what party they belong to.
yet another jeff
Allen needs to go down too…
chopper
you won’t have mr.-frothy-mixture-of-feces-and-lube to push around anymore.
Pb
Wouldn’t a ‘sorostitute’ be a Democrat?
Pooh
How is that one even close? It honestly baffles me.
Krista
Delighted for you guys that Santorum’s gone. There are plenty of people with whom I disagree, politically. But that man — I couldn’t even begin to understand the mind-set that would lead to some of the things he’s said and done.
yet another jeff
Me too. I don’t understand how anyone is in favor of Allen…he’s just a slightly saner Katherine Harris.
Krista
Whoo-ee…you should see them bellyaching over at RedState about how CNN is calling results with only single-digit percentages being in, because that’ll “suppress voting” in western states.
That’s right — the GOP is losing seats not because they’re a corrupt, incompetent bunch of miscreants. Nope. It’s all the fault of Lou Dobbs.
Pooh
But oceans dumber.
yet another jeff
No more “Count” Chocola to kick around!
Hmm, Chafee wasn’t nearly as close as the polls…weird…not sad, but surprised by the blowout.
Tsulagi
Amen.

Baby Jane:
For the good people here, post a link to your comment at Redstate. I’ve seen it, and it’s priceless.
Sirkowski
Have a nice time fucking your dog, Rick!
yet another jeff
Yeah, Krista…they’ll not vote for the local GOP guy because the GOP lost in the East.
I feeling something odd…like…what is the feeling you get when a long car accident finally seems to be stopping?
chopper
box turtle, sirkowski. box turtle.
chopper
jesus, so far the GOP’s most important win is joe fucking lieberman.
Pooh
damn, chopper beat me to it…
Pb
I agree that in general it is foolish to call elections with single-digit percentages in, and probably bad form to call them before the polls close too. In short: “Dewey Wins!”
carpeicthus
Telling on so many levels, chopper.
yet another jeff
Yeah, I don’t like calling races early…and a lot of these races are swinging 8% or more depending on reporting…craziness.
Dewey Wins indeed. Good point. Ohhhh! Santorum’s speeching on CSPAN about how he’s going to spend more time with his family. His son doesn’t look happy.
And Pooh, yeah…Katherine is way smarter than George Felix Allen.
Krista
Pb – it is bad form. Unfortunately, it’s not going away anytime soon. They do it up here too, and western provinces were getting pissed off, because they felt like their votes didn’t matter after Ontario and Quebec had been counted. So, our last election, the satellite companies blacked out non-local CTV and CBC affiliates. So you could only get news from your own time zone, or from the U.S. I mean, if you really wanted to know how it was going, you could find it, but it wasn’t right in people’s faces.
Pooh
Is Ohio really going to send frickin Mean Jean back for more?
Otto Man
Oh, it’s looking like a good night. I broke out the Woodford Reserve bourbon. I’m liveblogging at my place if anyone needs some surly, drunken schadenfreude.
Krista
My heavens, James Carville is one fugly son of a bitch, isn’t he? (Apologies if any of you are related to or good friends with him, but he’s just not an attractive man.)
Tsulagi
Awww, reading through some of the comments by the ass-uppers for Bush over at RedState they seem a little down. I’ll have to remember to feel sorry for them.
Pb
Krista,
Best Carville impersonation goes to Ben Affleck on SNL…
Pooh
Comment from a Sully reader:
Baby Jane
Carville may not be a looker, but that smooth voice slays me.
yet another jeff
I did feel bad for his son, though…was hoping they’d pan right.
yet another jeff
Sad for Santorum’s son, that is…
Pooh
Just think about the family dog…
Bob In Pacifica
We’re going to get Governator II here in Cali, so I’m about to break out a new bottle of Jameson’s, but not to celebrate.
yet another jeff
Dog? Hell, I’m worried about the box turtle.
Baby Jane
In spite of the robocall nonsense, my new congressman Chris Murphy has picked up the seat. :)
ThymeZone
Welp, CBS News is calling the House for the Dems.
In AZ, we have a shot at getting rid of the despicable JD Hayworth, King of Bombast.
Republican incumbent senator and profoundly empty suit Kyl appears to be headed for narrow reelection. This is really too bad.
Dem Governor Napolitano wins with nearly 70% of the vote. She’s a quietly gay woman who wins big in a mostly red state.
And it looks like we have a shot at sending the idiotic DOMA measure down to defeat, still too early to call.
All in all, despite the disappointment over the hideous Kyl, I am proud of Arizona tonight. We are going to add one, of not two, important Dem House seats to the new Dem majority.
Perry Como
MSNBC and Fox just called the House for Dems too. MOONBATS!
Faux News
Baby Jane:
New Britain is my hometown!(although sadly I no longer live in CT) I am ELATED that Murphy has won and that fucking old hag Johnson is FINALLY gone!
:-)
Jess
He used to be kinda sexy-ugly, I thought. But maybe I’m warped. I liked his nasty grin.
metalgrid
Didn’t Santorum move to Virginia? Guess this won’t be the last Mr. Cole will hear of him in that case.
