The Calm Before the Storm

We're in a lull here at the Tryst. The food has been outstanding, like a huge thanksgiving dinner, incredibly fresh and gourmet. My compliments to the folks at the Tryst. They also come around to ask if we want fresh coffee...some of us are just now finding the open bar.

The results so far don't show who's taking over Congress so the right and left bloggers are getting along just great. That may change when the night gets further along.

Jacki and Abbi from CNN are working so hard. TV isn't as easy as it seems. There are dozens of tech people working the site, and as soon as we lose our wireless, they are there to put it back- the cameras are ever present, we never know when you get a glimpse of us. For example, there's a cameraman at my shoulder right now, filming as I type this.

In case I forget later, Thank You CNN, for the best election night ever.

    I also have to say that CNN is doing a great job. I'm watching CNN America Votes 2006 and I have to say that I love the commentary. I feel that I am informed really well about what is going on in this election.

    From Captain's Quarters? I read over his blog sometimes. Wizbang, I'm no fan of though John said he's a nice kid, Kevin, that is.

    I can't wait to see the voting results in Maryland. Although Steele is the projected "Loser" I wonder if Black Democrats voted for Republican Steele in big numbers? I'm glad he lost! I'm in Maryland did not vote for him, voted Cardin.

    I was glad to see Whitehouse take Chafee's RI Senate seat even though Chafee's approval rating was 62%. His constituents though he was doing a good job for them, but appear to have made their decision based on the bigger picture - something I diarized about earlier this month, terming it vote locally but think globally. They seem to have ranked the larger issues above local ones affecting their immediate comfort, or rejected the instant gratification to take the longer view, I think. Impressive. I hope it's somewhat indicative of a general mindset change that will affect other races. So far that seems to be the case.
