Soon we all will be overdosing on Boehner.

The incumbant Governor in Illinois is ahead by a percentage point but now they are waiting for the military votes to come in, before the GOP conceeds.

Well Todd is out of the Pres of CC. Actually once the primaries he was toast, but now they have someone (Preckwinkle) who is not from the usual crud. So that's a good thing.

Wow there were lines at my polling place, and everywhere else. Anyhow it was a late night here with some key races being so close, e.g. Senate and Governor.

I heard Kirk won the Senate. What is going on with the Guv race? I heard that the Guv race is dead heat. Let mek now the scoop. Thanks.

Yeah, look for the tan man Boner to take the gavel. But, this is still a divided Capitol Hill lawmakers with Dem Senate majority and GOP House majority dealing with an economic crisis. This is certainly a replica of Reagan era in 1982.
