1. Thank God!

2. If Franken hadn't been on Scarborough
I would never have heard it live. Even though I would have liked to have smacked Franken upside the head, the path to legalization is not the same as Bush's guest worker bullshit and I don't know why he doesn't know that. The Republican made the argument Democrats should be making, McMahon was on Matthews and he got it. Grr.

But good news about Delay!!

5. YES
I expect that someone is about to rat on him big time and he is going to PRISON. The dominoes are beginning to fall.

6. Happy happy day.
Unbelievable. Of course, there's this:


http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1179857,00.html


...And although I felt, I feel that I could have won the race, I just felt like I didn't want to risk the seat and that I can do more on the outside of the House than I can on the inside right now. I want to continue to fight for the conservative cause. I want to continue to work for a Republican majority...


But for now, I'm basking...
