A little more

Not hearing much about military absentee ballots this time around, are we? You know, the ones that could be postmarked up until election day and could turn the tide in Virginia or wherever.

Looks like Corker has edged Ford in Tennessee. It will be cold comfort to Ford that he did better in percentage terms than native son Al Gore did against Bush in 2000. So I think that does it for the possibility of a Democrat-controlled Senate.

NPR just called the Missouri race for McCaskill.

Wow, only a scant 16 years passed between the election of the first black elected governor in history, L. Douglas Wilder, and the election of the second. So Deval Patrick is the first black person ever elected a governor of a non-ex-Confederate state. In 2006. Kinda makes you think, doesn't it? Those with good memories will recall that Patrick was the eventual successful nominee to head the Civil Rights Division in the Clinton Justice Department—the job Clinton originally offered to Lani Guinier before he unceremoniously withdrew the nomination without giving her a heads up first. Just a bit of trivia.
