Wednesday, November 08, 2006 Kickin' Down the House & Taking the Senate House +33 Senate +6  (But the Dems are only two away from majority, with VA and MT still not called but leaning their way! Amazing!) If you told me, even three months ago, that this would be a possibility, I wouldn't have believed it. Moderates across all parties made this possible, according to reports of exit polls I listened to last night. UPDATE: Yes! Yes! Webb delivers the Senate to the Democrats! (I know, this happened eight days ago but I've been too busy to update the blog. Oh well, the spirit of the victory was present.)  What a stunning reversal of fortune for the GOP!    7:08:15 AM   | COMMENT [] | HOME READ MY MiPOESIAS COLUMN: "WHEN THE MUSES COME TO VISIT."
