Election Slog Election Coverage

Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 8:40 AM

Relive last night's exciting, historical, phantasmagorical election minute-by-drunken-minute. Here are last night's SECB posts arranged in chronological order for your reading pleasure.

The McGinn party was so great! Hearing all the progressive causes coming out on top was just fabulous.

Oops, forgot the Housing Levy.

Yay that it passed.

So... Obama = No Coat Tails.

And Independents are skewing right, not left. Even in Liberal New Jersey. (Interesting.)

I predict health care reform either goes back to the drawing board or dies.

The Blue Dogs will be to concerned about their own re-election prospects next time around to do anything too aggressive this year.

@4, Um, health care reform dies because of the election of two Republican governors, and of another Democrat to the House? I think you need to review your fourth-grade civics notes.
