Election night and the morning after

Election night is one of my all-time favorite nights. It's right up there with the Oscars and the Super Bowl. This morning, even though we don't yet know the Senate outcome, I still can't decide which was my favorite election:

- Vermont, where they elected a Socialist to the Senate

- South Dakota, where they struck down their draconian abortion ban

- Or Rhode Island, where exit polls said that 62% of the populace thought that the incumbent was doing a great job... and they voted him out of office anyway. It just goes to show that Americans are a fickle people.
