In case you don’t recall that’s the district formerly occupied by Tom Delay! Who would’ve thought a year ago that a democrat would win it today!

Daniel Ortega, the Sandinista leader who the Reagan administration tried to hard to covertly overthrow, also got elected president of Nicaragua yesterday.

The democrats have taken back the house in both Washington and Lansing and in Arizona, Barry Goldwater would have been proud. Arizona became the first state in the union to vote to reject a ban on single sex marriage. Up in North Dakota, voters told their legislature to butt out of decisions on abortion and Missouri voters want stem cell research. Now if Jon Tester and Jim Webb can hold on to the senate seats in North Dakota and Virgina, we can get the impeachment hearings started.
