Ten Things I'd Like to See

I don't want some boring old "Democrats Win!" triumphalism. We've been hearing that from every media outlet since January. I'd rather have a bunch of strange things happen that make this election historically interesting (Because a sitting President losing a bunch of his party's seats in his second term is actually quite common).

1. Michael Steele wins in Maryland.

2. Harold Ford Jr. wins in Tennesee.

3. A gay marriage ban fails. In a conservative-ish state (Virginia?)

4. Three Republicans get elected to statewide office in CA (not including Ah-Nold).

5. The Dems win the House by one seat (Gridlock! Mayhem! Hilarity!)

6. Joe Lieberman decides he's going to be an official Independent.

7. The Virginia Senate Race remains undecided until December.

8. Lincoln Chaffee wins.

9. PA's boasts a pro-life Dem Senator and a pro-choice GOP Senator!

10. The networks once again screw up in calling several races' winners. And we all agree never to trust polls and the MSM again. Until the next election, which is just 23 short months away!

I think you got yourself #9 and not much else.

I myself am perfectly happy with some Dems Win triumphalism. It is, in fact, the first time the Dems have really won since I could vote. It's a nice feeling.
