obligatory post-election post

the saddest result from yesterday's election was the maine referendum.

the result that makes me the most happy that i'm not a betting man is the new jersey governor's race. i thought it would be close, but if forced to pick, i would have bet that corzine would eke out a narrow victory.

the strangely-least-talked-about result is the fact that democrats won both of the house races, including one pick-up from a seat previously held by republicans.

credit where credit is due: the pick-up is thanks to the efforts of glenn beck, dick armey, and the dittoheads of right blogistan. just yesterday, armey was threatening to do a NY-23 on a whole bunch of seats held by moderate republicans. i, for one, hope he follows through.
