As voting draws to a close, it seems the Democrats have gained ground :( They seem to have picked up three seats in the Senate. However, there is a bit of good news: it looks like independent Joe Lieberman has defeated democrat Ned Lamont!
Edit: Terrible news in Pennsylvania: the Democratic challenger has defeated wonderfully right-wing Republican Rick Santorum.
Also, at a rally for Deval Patrick (predictably the governor-elect of Massachusetts), John Kerry has just made a speech in which he comments that Ted Kennedy (who was predictably re-elected), is the greatest senator in the history of the U.S. Senate! Can anyone say hyperbole? So much for Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Stephen Douglas, Jack Kennedy, and the numerous other great senators from history. I guess Kerry has even more of a knack for saying bizarre things than I realized.
Another edit: It looks like the Democrats have taken control of the House :(
