Recount Blues

As it turns out, the Republicans will not get their way and reelect the first ever convicted felon to the U.S. Senate. 44 year senate veteran Ted Stevens goes down to a recount. A sad day for the GOP I know.

This year's Blue Wave stands at 7 Republican pickups in the senate alone. The Dems are two seats shy of getting to a Super Majority with two senate races still open, Minnesota and Georgia. I think there's a good chance the Dems will pickup the Georgia seat but not the MN seat. The result would give the Democrats a 59 seat membership in the senate with two Independents also largely Democratic leaning.
