Montana also has a democratic governor...they are a practical, thoughtful folk who appreciate the fact that democrats represent all citizens...this is going to be the trend...the western/mountain states are shifting into the d column while all the nut job evangelicals and racists are embracing the republican agenda in the south

It could well be that close!\n\nAll I can do is vote, and hope for the best.

He conceded!  \n\nDidn't have a small enough margin to call for a recount. And Allen is due to concede, as well, so it's officially a Democratic majority in the Senate!

According to our government it hasn't reached that point yet.  According to those on the ground over there it's almost in full swing.  Who to believe?  I think I'll believe those who are in the middle of it, rather than the Administration that has been dancing around it.

I agree about the Senate. There has been a clear shift to the Reps the last few days. I also think Lieberman will join the Rep caucus. House is also getting closer, but I still think that odds favor the Dems. I've only recently learned how many ex reps are running as Dems. I'm not sure what this means. I think we will be in for a very long night.

Actually, we're about to see a monumental change here in the United States. Republicans put anti-environmentalists in top environmental and energy positions. The League of Conservation Voters (that's CONSERVATION, mind you. Not CONSERVATIVE) gave these Republicans a ZERO rating on environmental issues. Many of their Democratic replacements in the upcoming term (such as Boxer), have a rating of 100. It's going to be night and day when it comes to the environment. Whether Bush will actually sign the new laws remains to be seen....

Yes. But Karl has not gotten thing quite correct lately.  I wonder if the Democrats taking over congress was his "suprise"?

Nope. It wont happen. On either side. Now you can look for the Reps to find anything about the Dems that they can throw. It will never end. Please the day people can actually agree to disagree is the H@!! freezes over. I hate to seem so negative but that is just the way it is and will continue to be as long as there are haters.

I am hoping that it will be a democratic victory in November. It would provide for some checks and balances in our government that is lacking now. It would scare me more to give Bush two more years with a free hand. Just look at what he has done with the last 6 with a Repuglican majority.

Amen brother preach on. They will come and it is going to be beyond belief. Most likely we will be facing a biological or nuclear disaster that will be the worst attack on American soil. You are very right the libs have sided with the terrorists but that will not save them once they are here.\n\nThey just don't get it do they?

I don't know.  I think its distant future is glorious, but the near future looks shaky.  I had great hopes when Khatami got in, but the current president makes me as nervous as our current president (I'm American).  I'm hoping that we will all stick to saber-rattling and not actual war until we learn to settle down and get along.

there is a funny thing that we've been hearing "this week" from the corporate media...(I think the two brain surgeons above me heard it too.. their tales are wagging ) "It's going to be a close race"? . two weeks ago in our United States Of Amnesia .. it was going to be a Democrat land slide with as much as a 30 point advantage in some places.. within 7 days and no real appreciable Republican "victory" except for Mr. Kerry's ill received pun... they are all of a sudden "going to keep the house" (Bob Novak) "Looks Like they're even going to pick up several seats this time around" (S. Hannity) and this one is the best "The Democrats have botched things so badly in the past several years that Democrat incumbants should be happy to keep their jobs" (Bill O'really ?)\n.. so yes the fix is in .. and the gears of the evil Sith Lords are once again turning, oiled by tax payers dollars and the blood of innocence, spilled on far away desert sands....

The turnout was absolutely fantastic for a midterm election.  In some places, turnout was compared to 2004.  Perhaps the bitter partisanship of recent years will have the hidden benefit of increasing voter engagement.\n\nIt will be interesting to see if this recount in Virginia upholds Webb's narrow win.  It's entirely possible that as Montana goes, so goes the Nation tonight.\n\nHere's the best part about America, we just had a shift of power in the government, and not a drop of blood was shed.  In many countries, this could result in a violent coup.  Don't take this country for granted!

The Noe and Theo Cons have usurped traditional Republican beliefs. You have to wonder what is going on when the John Birch Society is more closely aligned with the Democrats on most issues. Everything bad in the world is Clinton's fault, except for the 8 years of Peace, Prosperity and a Budget surplus.

Democrat Brad Henry is currently the governor.  We do have an election tomorrow.  It's between him and Rep. Istook.  Hopefully, Brad Henry will be reelected.

When will the earth freeze over?  Republicans want absolute control with no accountability.  Its all the Dems fault, or Clintons fault, or just an "unforseeable situation".

You can trust him to continue falling off the deep end. Of course not, some scientists invented a military computer communications system, and when the Senator Gore was on a cmte he voted in favor of allowing some of that technology into the public eye. He wasn't even an important senator on that committee
