The problem with this question is that there are too many on this blog who do not hold any independent thought. You just had "never forget that a republican freed the slaves" claim in another post that George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush were American icons. I'm embarrased to share a party with anyone who would think such a thing.
While I'm very conservative, I would have voted for Manchin over Raese, Knowles over Murkowski, and Cuomo over palandino if I had the choice in those states in those races.
Quite frankly, I think 87% of Democrats would vote for John Edwards over Sarah Palin given the lack of independent thought in the party today.
You don't have to share the party with me. Feel free to leave it at any time.
Oh, and make sure the door doesn't hit you on the way out.
I was thrilled with the Murkowski win by the way.
