"...there is no denying that this looks bad.
But if the media declare a Bush victory and if Kerry concedes "for the good of the country" and if we're staring down the long bleak prospect of another four years of Bush & Co., without even the prospect of re-election to hold them back...

Local good news here in WI.
Russ Feingold won reelection to the senate in a landslide. Same for Tammy Baldwin in the house. Both great dems. Notably Feingold was the only decenting vote when the patriot act went around and he opposed the war resolution.
