      <![CDATA[The longest-serving Republican in Senate history narrowly lost his re-election bid Tuesday. Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich's victory moves Senate democrats within two seats of a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority.A recount is possible. If the vote differential between the two candidates is more than 0.5 percent, either side can seek a recount if it posts a bond of about 15,000 to pay for a new tally. <br />

      <![CDATA[All that said (in #28), seeing Stevens go down makes we want to seriously cry tears of joy. If it hadn't been for friggin' Prop 8, the other anti-gay legislation that passed on Election Day, and Senator Mitch Mcconnell and Congressman Don Young getting re-elected, I'd be losing my fucking mind with celebration.

      <![CDATA[I think @2 and 24 are right. We need to be careful about assuming what having 58 Democrats plus two Independents (Lieberman and Sanders) who caucus with the Democrats really means. If you're thinking it's a slam dunk for everything Obama wants to pass, that's likely not true, since Lieberman, and some of the other more centrist or even conservative Dems will likely end up not supporting filibusters on every single thing. Obama knows this, which is why he is making nice with some Republicans. Also, doing things solely along party lines is dangerous, in that if shit goes wrong, the Dems will get blamed and have no cover at all. If there is at least some bipartisanship (a few Republicans on this or that legislation), it will be much harder for Republicans to continue this "one-party dominance is bad for America" narrative.

      <![CDATA[I really don't understand all this hoopla over getting 60 votes in the Senate.  It's as if people think that all the conservative Democrat senators are suddenly going to start voting along party lines.  There's too many, uh, mavericks in the Senate to care about this count as being anything other than symbolic.

      <![CDATA[My wife is Alaskan and her response today was "Yay!" I'm sad to report, however, that her mother voted for Stevens with the thought process that he'd be booted by the Senate and they'd get a special election, thus, she said, "more choices." Meaning Begich wasn't her pick.So she still voted for a felon. I don't have much hope for Alaska. I still say we Escape from L.A. that shit and laser Alaska off of the U.S., turn it into a federal prison. My grandpa was born there during their gold rush. I think it's fitting. Bunch of crazies up there.
