It turns out, it wasn't just federal elections that got a wave of voter discontent, it appears state legislatures showed major Democratic gains as well.

Democratic gains in Congress and among the nation’s governors were matched on Tuesday by a huge surge closer to the grass roots — in the state legislatures, where more than 275 seats and nine legislative chambers from Iowa to Oregon switched overnight from Republican to Democratic hands.

It's not just the war, it's a generalized dissatisfaction of voters with Republicans on all levels of government. These people are incompetent, and people don't like the way they run things. It's official, the American people have finally realized they don't like the taste of the shit sandwich Republicans have been feeding us for the last decade.

Oh, and more proof, Webb wins in Virginia. No one thinks Allen has a chance and now it's just a matter of time before he concedes to Webb.

The Associated Press contacted election officials in all 134 localities where voting occurred, obtaining updated numbers Wednesday. About half the localities said they had completed their postelection canvassing and nearly all had counted outstanding absentees. Most were expected to be finished by Friday.

The new AP count showed Webb with 1,172,538 votes and Allen with 1,165,302, a difference of 7,236. Virginia has had two statewide vote recounts in modern history, but both resulted in vote changes of no more than a few hundred votes.

An adviser to Allen, speaking on condition of anonymity because his boss had not formally decided to end the campaign, said the senator wanted to wait until most of canvassing was completed before announcing his decision, possibly as early as Thursday evening.

The adviser said that Allen was disinclined to request a recount if the final vote spread was similar to that of election night.

Huzzah!
