Hooray !!!!! what a prefect way to end a great election season I know there are a lot of people who don't like Al Franken they might think he is too partisan or he has said some offensive jokes in the past but I find him to be a person of character regardless of how others see him. 

as much as I hate labels this really has been a good election season for people who consider themselves to be somewhat liberal. watching obama and franken win,  the Dem's gaining 59 seats really would have been unimaginable in 2004. we shall see what the next four years will bring, I can only hope for the best for our nation and are new president:).

as for are conservative friend's cheer up politics Eb's and flows, the republicans will be back they will probably gain a lot of seats in 2010. they will be back by 2016 or maybe even before that depending on how popular obama is. only time will tell, I'm hoping for the best.

MASS - sorry to be blunt, do you even know what you're talking about when you say the Republicans will gain "a lot" of Senate seats in 2010?

nope just makeing it up as I go along.

Try looking at the map. It's these plus DE and the other NY seat. There's no way that it'd be that great for the Republicans.

I'd say these Democratic seats *might* be vulnerable: CO, IN,  IL, NV. IN is safe with Bayh. IL is probably safe with a non Blago tainted candidate. I'd be happy to see a Republican win in NV.

In any case, there are a lot more potentially vulnerable Republicans.

yeah I see what your saying but its hard for me to imagine that the democrats would win three conggressional  elections in a row, I could be wrong but doesn't that buck historic trends?
