8:47 p.m. - Just heard MSNBC had already projected Casey over Man-on-Dog; that's two (2) turnovers to the Dems. Sweet!

8:45 p.m. - Harold Ford getting stomped 56-43%. Douche-bag Frist, currently cracking my television screen, is on his way out, denying the Corker add with the white chick saying, "Harold, call me!" is racist.

8:39 p.m. - Currently watching Howard Dean on MSNBC. Was wondering if they'd use Olbermann when they had Tweety Matthews "in control here." Some preliminary info here: Virginia passed the Gay Marriage ban, despite NoVA and its best efforts to the contrary; Ted Strickland, I think I heard correctly, beat out the evil demon Kenneth Blackwell...

Breaking: MSNBC just projected Sherrod Brown as the winner in Ohio. This would be the first handover from Republican to Democrat. In the words of Freddie Prinze: "Loooooking Goooood!"

8:37 p.m. - Have only now arrived at the Chontos household and am getting my bearings.
