Us: lots, Them: little

Highlights:

• AZ didn't amend their constitution for bigotry. [CNN] [Washington Post]


• SD nixed the abortion ban, but also nixed gay marriage. [Washington Post]


• PA cleaned up the Santorum.


• 6 governors up for reelection changed to Dems (including MA, NY, and RI). [NPR]


• Leiberman won CT on an independent ticket with 49.6%, the Dem took 39.9%, and the GOP was a mere 9.7%. [NPR/AP]


• Democrats took the house. [CNN]


• The Senate is still up for grabs though Dems netted 3 so far (+RI, OH, PA, MD, -CT). I heard on NPR radio that RI people felt bad they had to vote out their Republican Senator. He was really liked I guess, quite liberal for a Repub, but they didn't want the GOP to remain in control of the Senate.


• Two states have independent Senators, making me wonder if Americans are starting to become disillusioned with the 2-party system.

independent senators really aren't a case of two-party dissilusionment - both individuals are beloved fixtures in their states.
