“I am not a member of any organized party — I am a Democrat”

— Will Rogers

It was pretty clear before a vote was cast that the left was going to be assuming control of the House of Representatives, and I assumed that the Senate race was going to be close.

But who would have predicted that control of the Senate might rest on a recount in Virginia, home of Senator George “Macaca” Allen. Shouldn’t this one have been a slam dunk?

Predicting US election results is like betting on the CFL.
