Dems took the house, and at 12:00 AM AZ time right now, looks like the senate too. It could be a recount nightmare forming in Virginia, though, over the last remaining senate seat.
However the senate race shakes out, I just want to say this election partially re-affirms my faith in American democracy. It's a victory for checks and balances in my opinion. No one man or party should have as much control as the GOP has had recently.
Here in AZ, that slimy senator Kyl still won, but we got congressman Hayworth, one of the dumbest & most corrupt policiticans in the house out of office. Our democratic governor Janet Napolitano won in a landslide, and here in Tempe, we voted out two GOP state congressmen whose only goals were bans on gay marriage and congressional gridlock. Arizona also got a minimum wage increase to $6.75 and voted down a gay marriage ban. Plus, our local PETA proposition won too.
So +1 to the American people from me, I'm beginning to get some more hope for this place.
