Buckley's a Libertarian, so I don't think he would have taken any Dem vote, and Chambliss has been fairly bipartisan which may have irked the right more than the left. I think this will go to the Reps, though (100K+ is pretty hard to pull back on a recount) and that will prevent the Dems from having a super majority
Georgia has just been uncalled - they forgot to count 600k provisional ballots! And in mostly liberal areas. They're not likely to swing the Prez count, but extremely likely to push Chambliss under 50%, which means that he and Martin will have a runoff election.

Which is pretty unbelievable really, considering that Stevens is now a convicted felon. Or do Alaskans not think federal anti-corruption laws apply to them?
If Stevens gets convicted, Palin gets to name his replacement.

Judder's is wearing off already and Giovanni seems like he is just about peaking.
You ain't seen me peaking, buddy, not even close.
(And no, I don't know what I mean by that either.)

Imagine the dilemma the One News producer/editor must have had.And on that note, who's joining me in giving mad props to CNN? Their coverage was pretty flawless I though. They didn't interject before, during or after Obama's speech, had a hotline for the fuckups at the electoral booths (a public service! from the media!), they kept the bombast to a minimum and did their best to provide intelligent commentary from people who had a fairly good sense of the kind of history that was being made. And then there was John King with his sexy touch screen. Joy!
(Okay, the holograms were fuking stupid. But hey...)

I just checked. Obama currently has 52% of the popular vote in the US.
Half of California yet to be counted.
Like I said a couple of pages back, McCain may have delivered a good speech warmly, but Obama's is the one that historians are going to be able to look back on and say, 'yep
There's an Onion quote for every occasion. The day after Kerry's defeat (from memory):
"Gore: it could have been me delivering that concession speech"
-
And finally, McCain embraced Palin. What did that body language tell you?
It told me that the guy has pemanently dislocated shoulders.

Kos reports:
With 99 percent reporting, McCain is winning Missouri by 338 votes.
338 votes. -
I will, with a happy heart, track down a suitable token to go with the watch....
You, sir, are all class. For my part, I'll work on the moustache.

The Onion brings it, as per usual.

I only just caught the end of the Obama speech, and given how heavy that yoke of responsiblity must feel I thought it was damn eloquent.
First time gay people are mentioned in a Presidential acceptance speech? I'm throwing it out there.
