The Virginia senate seat has just been called for Jim Webb!
Let me say that again. NBC, MSNBC and AP say the senate seat belongs to Webb.
Senator George "Macaca" Allen is history.
And Senate Majority Leader Reid replaces Billie Frist and all his wanna be successors. Sorry Trent.
Woohoo! The Dems take the House, the Senate. Rumsfeld resigns. The House is in the hands of a feminist! What next? Bush and Cheney flee to Canada?
WASHINGTON - Democrats wrested control of the Senate from Republicans Wednesday with an upset victory in Virginia, giving the party complete domination of Capitol Hill for the first time since 1994, as NBC News projected Democrat Jim Webb as the winner.
Webb’s apparent squeaker win over incumbent Sen. George Allen gave Democrats their 51st seat in the Senate, an astonishing turnabout at the hands of voters unhappy with Republican scandal and unabated violence in Iraq. Allen was the sixth Republican incumbent senator defeated in Tuesday’s elections.

Update: Allen may concede by Thursday afternoon (11/09/06). Sources continue to say it is doubtful that Allen will demand a recount. Senator-elect Webb has a lead that is "13 times as large as George W. Bush's lead over Al Gore in Florida in 2000."
