Obvious Point #1: It's not the best of nights for the GOP. Now, it's not going to be the absolute worst case scenario. McConnell won, it looks like Chambliss is going to win, and McCain's holding most of the red states.
Most, but not all. Fox has called Ohio for Obama, and while CNN's being a little more cautious, Wolf just announced they had "a major call coming up." I'm guessing it's the Buckeye State. Indiana, Virginia, Missouri, North Carolina, and Florida are all still outstanding. That's "outstanding" as it "not in yet," by the way. All are red states. None look too good for McCain.
McCain apparently leads in the popular vote, but wait til the votes come in from the Pacific coast and from the Northeast. When they're all counted, I'm guessing Obama'll have a pretty healthy lead in the PV--5-6%, maybe more.
Any bright points for the GOP? Well, so far McConnell's survival is about it. I'm racking my brain to think of another, but...I got nothing. No big House seats are gone so far, but I'm afraid it's only a matter of time.
Ah, here's one good thing to come out of this election: I got a free peanut-butter-and-chocolate ice cream cone at Ben & Jerry's. Not quite as nice as a GOP victory, but it was very tasty. So that's a start.
