Mid-Term Election Fun

Quick Hit Thoughts:

• The Dems now hold majority in the house, while the senate swings on the results of two close races. The key for the Democrats is not to squander the congressional leadership in order to ride the wave into the White House in two years.
  
• Hillary Clinton spent alot of money...to win 66-33. Not bad for NY, but really, you can't win your state handily, and yet you think you've got a shot for the presidency?
• Anyone else see Bill standing behind Hillary as she gave her victory speech? Just doesn't seem right to have the less charismatic speaker standing mute.
• Ford, the loser in the Tennessee senatorial race, gave an excellent consolation speech. The guy, who is only 36, has a bright future in front of him. Too bad racist campaigns can beat good candidates (at the same time, what was Ford thinking when he crashed the opponent's press conference?)
• Mostly watched MSNBC coverage, though their reliance on "wobbly cam" technology gave me sea sickness. Sadly, CNN and Headline News both overused the slowly moving camera shot. Only fair and balance Fox News was able to keep a shot focused and still.
  
• Comedy Central's Midterm Midtactular was entertaining, but the highlight was Dan Rather's appearance. He deserved better than the ouster provided by the evil CBS empire.
