UPDATE: (5:39 PM)
Not that we didn’t already know the Dems took control of the Senate, but the AP just officially called Virginia for Webb.

I just want to remind everyone what kind of people post comments on Sound Politics.
“Congratulations Speaker Pelosi, now let the bombs fall where they may. My prediction: terror attack on domestic soil passenger aircraft within the next six months. Casualties in the 2-300 range. And, unfortunately, maybe that’s just what we need. It’s obvious people don’t remember what happened 5 years ago.”

And these people criticize Kerry?
All Kerry did was bungle a jibe directed at Bush. This guy is saying he wants terrorists to kill Americans (apparently in revenge for electing Democrats).

Mike!? McGavick joins the ranks of John Carlson, Ellen Craswell, and Motherbeat Irons as big-time Republican loooosers! Even Richard Pope got better numbers than McGavick! He did better than Low Tax Looper, though.
Mike!? McGavick — another failed GOP politician consigned to the footnote section of state history textbooks; never to be heard from again.
Goldy,
Don’t you know Rummy doesn’t run on a Mac?
I suspect McGavick wants to run again in two years, but he will not want to take a position lower than Senator, President, or Chief Justice.
In the meantime, he will want a job to pad out his resume. I don’t think lobbying will work for him this time. He won’t be very welcome (or effective) with the Democrats in charge of the House, and possibly the Senate also. But lots of Bush appointees will be abandoning ship over the next year (it always begins the moment the President becomes a lame duck). He may want to slide into some cabinet or diplomatic post as a Bush appointee to tide him over until he starts his campaign run again next year.
Probably the first question McGavick asked this morning was: “Okay, Cantwell wasn’t the easy pickings we thought. When does the other Senator – eh, what’s her hame – run for re-election again?”
This should be our theme song for this victory:

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer’s here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
They’re dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
Up in New York City
All we need is music, sweet music

It’s just an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There’ll be laughing, singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street

Dancing in the street
This piece by Digby adds a little more meat to Goldy’s post below about the role of the netroots and grassroots in reforming the Democratic Party and righting the nation.
I think now is the time for the Socialist party and the Democratic party to merge and become the Democratic Socialist Party of America.
We should start by electing Berney Sanders as leader of the Senate in this new congress.

Following up on my post above, I just noticed that FDL has a pretty good roundup of the scramble for credit and competing lessons of this election.
Also, TBogg’s hilarious predictions post needs to be seen. Compare his predictions to your election night experiences.
As Goldy’s update points out, Associated Press just called Virginia for James Webb! Democratic House, Democratic Senate.
Subject to recount. At this moment, Virginia has the highest concentration of lawyers on the planet.
Let’s not forget that yesterday’s election was marred by dirty tricks. We need to talk more about that in the days ahead. Like the gun-packing dude who stopped Hispanics on their way to the polls …

“N.H. makes GOP stop some automated calls
“By KATHARINE WEBSTER
“ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
“CONCORD, N.H. — A Republican organization agreed to stop making automated phone calls to New Hampshire residents on the federal do-not-call list. But the Democrats said Monday that the calls still violate federal rules.
“The National Republican Congressional Committee agreed on Sunday to stop calling homes on the registry after a citizen complained to the state attorney general. Under New Hampshire law, political campaigns can contact people on the do-not-call list, but cannot use automated recordings.
“The calls criticize Democratic congressional challenger Paul Hodes, who is locked in a tight race against Republican Rep. Charles Bass … a spokesman for Hodes said the calls also violate a Federal Communications Commission rule that says automated calls must identify their source at the beginning of the message. …
“The NRCC is using ‘robo calls’ in at least 53 competitive House races nationwide. …
“‘This is the same kind of dirty tricks we’ve seen up here in the last couple of election cycles,’ Hodes spokesman Reid Cherlin said. In May, a former Republican National Committee official, James Tobin, was sentenced to 10 months behind bars for his role in the jamming of New Hampshire Democrats’ telephones on Election Day 2002. He was the third person sent to prison in the case.”

When the excitement subsides, maybe you can work on the blog to figure out how to screen out the spammers.
kids…are you ignoring your buddy “the socialist” again? come on…that’s not nice and we all know that you libs are really cozy with socialists so why snub him in public, hmmmmmmmmm?
christmasghost, why shouldn’t we be “cozy” with socialists? Wingnuts are cozy with nazis, the KKK, and other eliminationists.
Your point is, well, pointless, and it can only be hoped that your kind are consigned to politcal irrelevancy. Enjoy the holiday season.
Regards,
Since the first vote count in the 8th district, Reichart has held a 2700 vote lead. According to statistical theory, that is fishy. If reichart wins by 2700, we better check the trail of that smell.
ass…my kind?
and just what kind is that? do you mean a person that owns a company that employs people at a very good wage? or the person that spent her own money and blood, sweat and tears to save a wetland? how about the person that does wildlife rescue?
that person? you want that person to go away?
let me guess…you are a seattle parasite that talks big but does nothing. except for yourself…..am i warm yet?

I think
are you a liberal christmasghost?
you know Socialist were kind of the origanel liberals
You know, Ghost, for someone who spends a lot of time griping about other people expressing unconstructive thoughts, you sure seem to not engage in much discussion that has any kind of constructive aim.
Early American Marxism
A rich archive of works about the early history of Marxism in the United States of America, and the documents of the various Marxist groups and founders of the union movement, 1864-1930.
see we helped found the union moments in the U.S.A.
Socialism was born out of the extreme operation of the industrial revolution , of child labor and working people all most to death for barely enough to live on. You can still see this process going on in china and India and other countries we have allowed our capitalist to exploit. and don’t worry if the capitalist have there way it will be coming back to America really soon.

Clueless, I think the Ghost’s most interesting reaction is the seeming outrage at the backlash of some Democrats directed toward Republicans after decades of being demonized by Republicans. I detect a distinct inability, or at least significantly impaired ability, to stand in someone else’s shoes. At times, I wonder if this kind of self-absorbsion isn’t a fairly common phenomenon amongst the right-wing.
Yes Don Joe, I agree. I think that self-absorption and that tendency to demonize is at its core narcissistic and is quite common among the right.
Look at Stefan Sharansky. He takes everything personally. He keeps a lid on it to some extent in public but on his blog anything goes. It’s sad.
Um…. Sad as it is… you’re not looking at TOTALS on the Burner race above…. you are only looking at King County totals…
The Totals, as of tonight are:
Darcy Burner
Democrat 74,861 49.1027%
Dave Reichert
Republican 77,597 50.8973%
Wish it was better news…
Bummer about Burner, but that’s just so damn close for a district that had been written off as a safe Republican district that has never sent a Democrat to Congress.
The good news is that Reichert’s wings are pretty much clipped by the rest of the Democrat landslide, and we still get to make Reichert jokes for the next two years.
Amen.
This district has NEVER elected a Gooper… yet we get closer every time… the tide is turning!
I am SOOOO proud of the campaign that Darcy has run here… she represents what is GOOD about the Eastside.
Reichert on the other hand… represents the redneck, pierce county mullet heads.
Sigh.

Well that’s certainly true! Just today a poster on Stefan’s sucky little blog suggested “we need” another terrorist attack against the U.S. as an antidote to people voting for Democrats. Sick. And Stefan the self-described patriot won’t even censor it.
I am so relieved! I thought there for a minute that I might have to actually stay in a job for two years! Can you imagine?
The voters in the 8th aren’t very bright, as pointed out on this blog. I bet most of them didn’t go to Harvard, like I did. I even bet most of them didn’t work for Microsoft!
The media is treating Pelosi as if she’s the de-facto president. What a relief we’ve got these clowns caged.

When will it sink in, Righties? You are so OVER.
Bush’s Texas accent gets more pronounced the more desperate he gets. It’s really amusing to see him still strutting around like he’s large and in charge.
You’ll not see that clown deferred to any longer. I’m glsd we’ve got Reichert to hector and wear down.

When the neocons stole power I never imagined they would drown themselves in their own slime so soon. I thought it would take at least 10 years.
I want to remind everyone, especially our wingnut friends, this is not the Democrats’ ultimate victory but only the beginning. For the next 2 years, Democrats will pass remedial legislation on a broad array of problems — then watch Bush veto all of it, setting up his party for a crushing repudiation in 2008 that will make 2006 look like child’s play.
Now here is a word from Ann Coulter:
History was made this week! For the first time in four election cycles, Democrats are not attacking the Diebold Corp. the day after the election, accusing it of rigging its voting machines. I guess Diebold has finally been vindicated.
So the left won the House and also Nicaragua. They’ve had a good week. At least they don’t have their finger on the atom bomb yet.
Democrats support surrender in Iraq, higher taxes and the impeachment of President Bush. They just won an election by pretending to be against all three.
Jon Tester, Bob Casey Jr., Heath Shuler, possibly Jim Webb — I’ve never seen so much raw testosterone in my life. The smell of sweaty jockstraps from the “new Democrats” is overwhelming.
Having predicted this paltry Democrat win, my next prediction is how long it will take all these new “gun totin’ Democrats” to be fitted for leotards.
Now that they’ve won their elections and don’t have to deal with the hicks anymore, Tester can cut lose the infernal buzz cut, Casey can start taking “Emily’s List” money, and Webb can go back to writing more incestuously homoerotic fiction … and just in time for Christmas!
But according to the media, this week’s election results are a mandate for pulling out of Iraq (except in Connecticut where pro-war Joe Lieberman walloped anti-war “Ned the Red” Lamont).
In fact, if the Democrats’ pathetic gains in a sixth-year election are a statement about the war in Iraq, Americans must love the war! As Roll Call put it back when Clinton was president: “Simply put, the party controlling the White House nearly always loses House seats in midterm elections” — especially in the sixth year.
In Franklin D. Roosevelt’s sixth year in 1938, Democrats lost 71 seats in the House and six in the Senate.
In Dwight Eisenhower’s sixth year in 1958, Republicans lost 47 House seats, 13 in the Senate.
In John F. Kennedy/Lyndon Johnson’s sixth year, Democrats lost 47 seats in the House and three in the Senate.
In Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford’s sixth year in office in 1974, Republicans lost 43 House seats and three Senate seats.
Even America’s greatest president, Ronald Reagan, lost five House seats and eight Senate seats in his sixth year in office.
But in the middle of what the media tell us is a massively unpopular war, the Democrats picked up about 30 House seats and five to six Senate seats in a sixth-year election, with lots of seats still too close to call. Only for half-brights with absolutely no concept of yesterday is this a “tsunami” — as MSNBC calls it — rather than the death throes of a dying party…
Are you open-minded? Good. Then go to abort73.com and educate yourself. Especially see section 1A on the left of the homepage and click through. But only if you’re open-minded and interested in being informed.
Thank you, truthless, for showing us that the Coultergeist is willing to cling to her delusions through thick and thin. But, perhaps you can tell us, why did she leave out Clinton’s sixth year mid-term?
Facts, drunks and lamp-posts again.
I have to say that I didn’t learn a thing from about73.com that I didn’t already know. What’s your point? That abortion is horrible? Agreed. Can we move on from that, and to the next question?
A few days ago Bush was saying “Elect the Democrats, and the terrorists win.”
I think we’d better show him who REALLY won.
But according to the media, this week’s election results are a mandate for pulling out of Iraq (except in Connecticut where pro-war Joe Lieberman walloped anti-war “Ned the Red” Lamont).
Lieberman won because he changed his position on Iraq. Now he’s for getting out, but thanks for not paying attention.
I can’t say I’m surprised, though. It’s well-known that non-voters are less informed than voters, and Coulter can’t vote.
One day after Republicans lost their majority in the U.S. House and Senate, a question: Just how solid is the alliance among Democrat incumbents, moderates, newly-elected conservatives who used to be Republicans, and the fringe left?
Northwest Progressive Institute (NPI) did something today on their website that may reveal rogue riptides in the ‘blue wave’ that swept through Tuesday’s elections:
A blog entry was posted by NPI contributor ‘Stilwell’ which blasted Rahm Emanuel and Democrat leadership over private meetings, held pre-election, to discuss how the liberal wing of the party would not be allowed to dominate the agenda next year. ‘Stilwell’ was none-too-happy, as evidenced by these excerpts: “We knew before the election that the mindless centrists who brought us twelve years of hell would immediately try to throw progressives under the bus. And sure enough Rahm Emmanuel has already started that attempt… The centrists should cut the crap and accept progressives as full partners, or we keep fighting. Their call. Deep down they know they would still be the minority if it weren’t for progressives…”. Pretty provocative piece, so I linked to it.
I went back to the post later, to see if any comments had been entered. One had, by ‘Possum’ of the Roadkill blog. Roadkill is a self-described moderate who has been equally tough on the GOP and Democrats. But Possum’s comment was a more of a warning: that the people who had actually been thrown under the bus were moderates who felt betrayed by the GOP for not living up to the promise of conservative government for the past 12 years, and that if Democrats thought they had a mandate to do anything they wanted or cater to the extreme left of the party, they too would be voted out of power. Stilwell’s response? “Screw you troll”. I couldn’t resist and left a comment: “Spoken like a true progressive”.
A few hours later, I discovered the post had been pulled. At first I wasn’t sure if it was intentional or due to technical problems, but I had my answer later when I discovered the link was being re-directed to the main NPI blog page. It was obvious at the point an effort was underway by NPI to hide the Stilwell post.
I couldn’t find the post in my browser cache, but I was able to take a snapshot of a Google search which shows the post was up long enough to be in the Google search index (click here if you want to see it).
So here are the questions I have: Why did NPI take the post down? Did they get pressure from Democrat leadership? What is the plan by the netroots if they are shut out of power by the Democrats and are not accepted as “full partners”?
I really wish I had cached or copied the full post because it represents why the new Democrat majority in congress is less of a “house of blue” and more of a “house of cards”. It’s a majority that was acquired by running conservative democrats against GOP incumbents, in part fueled by money raised from the extreme left and blogosphere. As slim as the majority is, it seems like it will be difficult to keep all factions happy and motivated and feeling like they have a place at the table.
And, as an aside, how ironic that the netroots biggest and most expensive goal – replacing Joe Lieberman with Ned Lamont – failed. And not only for failing to get Lamont elected, but by making Lieberman, now a swing-voting independent in 49-49-2 split Senate, even more crucial to the Democrats plans to ride that ‘blue wave’.
And if you know of other examples of netroot or progressive meltdowns towards Democrats, send them my way. There should be plenty.

Bad news for the kos kids and other progressives.
Bill Clinton: Election No Move to the Left by U.S.
In Ottawa Canada last night, former president Bill Clinton told a crowded forum that the election results were “a rejection of hard-headed, ideological politics in which people just make up their mind what the answer is and then they try to make the facts fit the answer,” according to a report in the Toronto Star.
At a press conference before his address to a Jewish National Fund dinner, Clinton noted: “I think the American people prefer, first, a government that gets things done and is not mired in partisan gridlock.”
Clinton also told reporters at the press conference that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation was “more or less inevitable” because even before the elections, notable military publications in the U.S. were asking for a new direction in Iraq.
It provides an opportunity “to make a new beginning” on Iraq, Clinton added.
Clinton told the dinner crowd that Americans, while more “culturally conservative” than Canadians, are at the core “a practical people,” adding, “It would be a big mistake to read the results as some big move to the left in America.”
Confessing that he flew to Canada after staying up until 5 in the morning celebrating his wife Hillary’s re-election to the U.S. Senate, the former president concluded that U.S. voters clearly want a government that doesn’t stray too far to the right or too far to the left.
“They thought that the government has gone too far to the right, is too unaccountable,” Clinton said. “So what they voted for was not necessarily to legitimize the whole Democratic agenda but to give us a chance to build the vital centre of America and to get things done and come together.”
The mid-term results are marching orders to President Bush “for the country to get together,” Clinton concluded.
The Star noted that former Liberal prime minister Jean Chrétien and his wife, Aline, were at the head table — while Conservatives were notably absent.
Firing Rummy was simply a case of the old story about “I don’t have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you.”
Bush hopes that throwing Rummy overboard will be enough of an offering to the Deep Blue Sea gods that the storm will subside.
No chance, Georgie. The invasion if Iraq has been a fundamental piece of Neocon strategy at least as far back as the 1992 Defense Planning Guidance produced by Wolfowitz and Libbey for then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney. This war is chained to your neck and there’s no getting away.
BTW, here’s a promise to all the right-wingers out there who are asking for civility: I promise to be as civil to all you knuckle-dragging Fascist right-wing howlers as Ann Coulter and Bill O’Reilly are to Liberals. Stick that in your crack pipes.
GBS….lying dear? i believe that is your forte, is it not?
what? what i have done and have to say disturbs you because it ruins your whole little “shrewisms” about evil nasty republicans?
oh bring it on baby……i would love to see you TRY to take me down. because you can’t.
this is what happens when you generalize about a whole group of people you ACTUALLY know nothing about. you are just trash that has never ammounted to anything by your own fault [it’s called laziness] and are standing outside the candy store looking in….without anything to buy the candy with. should we feel sorry for you? no….you are a parasite…you have proven that too many times.
ahhh…the base of the far left…..if you thought the far right was crazy these people really take the cake.
and here’s a little thinker for you. you should try and remember that you really don’t KNOW who you are talking to….now do you?
you give the term MEME a whole new meaning as in “what about ME , ME , ME , ME, ME ????????????????
but your post is hysterical.
first of all, what have you done? talked alot [bingo] and done nothing. walked around holding a sign soemeone else made? and still did nothing.talked about the environment but you don’t actually ever do anything, right?
you hate big oil [and once again for that little lefty whine to mean anything…where is LITTLE oil?] and yet, here you are typing on it and burning it up as electricity.
does your hypocrisy know no bounds??????
you are nothing more than a gasbag phoney.
and sweets…i didn’t lose anything. i wasn’t running for office. my god with your lack of grasp of the english language it’s a wonder you can cross the street………
jaybo and ghost: you lost, get over it.
Progressives are going to do just fine over the coming years. Get used to it. We’re never going to forget what you liars have done to this country since 1994 or since 1980 with Raygun for that matter.
clueless…raygun? ohmygod…you can’t even come up with YOUR OWN insults. good grief. are you a californian? no? then stop line stealing…it’s so tacky. but obviously you are a 1960’s retread…that line gave you away.
“progressives” won’t be running the DNC or the house and senate…didn’t you get the memo honey? just ask bill or rahm…they already announced it far and wide…where were you?
god…so it’s true!!!! AMAZING!
you fools didn’t even realize you were being used only to be discarded as nuts. i am not worried about the future of this country. i am not worried about moderate democrats. you tools scared the crap out of me….but let’s face it, you are the ONLY ONES that didn’t realize you wouldn’t be running the dog and pony show.
wow…this is really amazing….i am going to be laughing for a long, long time……….
ghost: you’re such a kook. Keep laughing. The laugh of a mad woman. Did we scare you? Oh sorry about that. NOT!
The democratic caucus moved in a progressive direction. Maybe a modestly progressive direction but still the right direction.
