Us: lots, Them: little

- 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.
According to NPR/AP, PA has officially voted themselves a blue state!
The cynical side of me is curious whether the Amish school shooting made a difference. I would've expected it to make PA more red, issues like school safety seem to be more of a Republican strong suit than a Democrat one.
