On election day, according to The Hill, John McCain carried Michigan's second congressional district, which just elected Hoekstra to an eighth term, with just 50.8 percentage points.

Yeah, according to the Hill... via Swing State Project.

100% agreed. And as we saw in 2004, having a successful businessman helm the DSCC doesn't always exactly pan out as hoped.

No to Warner.

It's three feet high and risin'.

Shit is from the primaries. Not exactly weird.

Media isn't falling for this one, it seems.

Sorry, Jerome.

We got a screen grab of this earlier in the day over at Swing State:

It's Alaska... you're not going to get elected if you don't support drilling there.  Begich is going to be a big improvement over Stevens, and if he wins, we'll be swapping one pro-ANWR driller for another -- but that's to be expected, because it's a popular position in Alaska.

Rasmussen's had McCain ahead for the last couple of months:

I don't have a horse in this race, but to me, if you're going to start comparing a Democrat to Zell Miller, you better have some pretty damned compelling evidence to back you up.  Otherwise, you just look ridiculous.

...that I wanna do it twice:

1. The Detroit Cobras - "Shout Bama Lama"

2. The New Pornographers - "Testament To Youth in Verse"
   
3. The Easybeats - "How You Doing Now"
   
4. Nine Inch Nails - "Ripe [With Decay]"
   
5. Social Distortion - "I Wasn't Born to Follow"
   
6. The Decemberists - "The Soldiering Life"
   
7. Snapcase - "Aperture"
   
8. The Beach Boys - "Girls on the Beach"
   
9. The Records - "Hearts in Her Eyes"
   
10. Pixies - "I've Been Tired"

1. Oingo Boingo - "Winning Side"
   
2. Marah - "Pigeon Heart"
   
3. The Beatles - "The Word"
   
4. Os Mutantes - "Bat Macumba"
   
5. The Easybeats - "Cry Cry Cry"
   
6. Gang of Four - "It's Her Factory"
   
7. Jook - "Alright With Me"
   
8. The Godfathers - "King of Mercy"
   
9. The Lambrettas - "Anything You Want"
   
10. The Beach Boys - "Fall Breaks and Back To Winter"
    

I'm so proud of him.  His oratorical destruction of McCain last night was beautiful.

THIS is the Democrat that I've been waiting for.

Why let the actions of a few interweb d00dz speak for the masses?

No shit.  A million mojo points for you.

SUSA's latest poll shows some awfully surprising cross-tabs here.
