The online frontpage of the NH Union Leader is classic. Just read through their blog of what happened tonight in New Hampshire. Democrats just took over the entire state. Everything, even the State House.

Here are the money quotes:

Victories by Gov. John Lynch, Carol Shea-Porter in the 1st Congressional District and Paul Hodes in the 2nd District marked the first time since 1912 that Democrats were elected to three of the state's top five seats.

Democrats have picked up at least six state Senate seats. A 16-8 domination by Republicans has swung at least to 14-10 in favor of the Democrats.

The Associated Press reports that the Democrats have clinched control of the New Hampshire House for the first time since 1911.

And the Republican response:

"To be honest with you, this probably is a historic moment," said state GOP Chairman Wayne Semprini. "But everything is cyclical."Yea right, enjoy the next 95 years in the minority NH Republicans-- it'll likely take that long for the Republican Party to get it's shit together in the northeast after Bush-Rove are done with it.

There's still the Georgia races to finalize, but right now, Marshall is ahead in the GA-8th CD, and Barrow is ahead in the 12th, so at this point, not a single Democratic seat has been lost in either the House or the Senate. That is historical.

Now, CNN has called 27 Republican-held seats going Democratic, and going by this chart that has the remaining open seats (and looking at who has the lead currently), Democrats would win 30 seats. MSNBC also has a 30 seat gain for Dems, with 4 seats remaining to be called.

Update [2006-11-8 2:53:54 by Jerome Armstrong]:The seats that are the most perplexing right now are NM 1st, is Sante Fe outstanding? The PA 6th, what part of Chester is this? I think Burner in WA 8th could still pull out a victory.

I love living in Virginia!

Taking out George Allen, who was the runaway insider poll's #1 pick for the Republican's Presidential nomination in December of 2005-- that's one of the biggest upsets in the last 50 years.

Steve Jarding told me yesterday that over 60% of the fundraising for Webb came over the internet. This win is so huge for the netroots.

And if there's any silver lining from Gov Warner having dropped out of the Presidential contest, it's that he was able to go to the mat for Jim Webb the past two weeks throughout Virginia-- it made the difference.
