Yeah, Well, I Keep Waiting For The Other Shoe to Drop...

Since last night, various news organizations have called it "official" that the Democrats now assume the majority in both houses of Congress.

Yet I really do seem to be in "wait and see" mode, expecting the other shoe(s) to drop.

Call it post-traumatic stress disorder from the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections where Bush did not win both times and yet took office regardless, as well as the 2002 mid-term in which so many of thought someone other than the Repugnants stood a chance to provide a check and balance in Washington.

What's remarkable here, perhaps, is that we know Virginia - as one example - was having BIG problems with the voting machines. Remember that early voters had to "guess" in tendering votes for Democrat Senate candidate James Webb, Democrat because somehow Webb's name was TOO long to fit on the ballot while George R. Allen, Republican was magically not too long to display. [Note that Webb's entry is actually more than a couple letters shorter than Allen's.

This does NOT mean the issues with voting machines is resolved; far from it. There are many reports of whole voting districts seeing every vote cast for a Democrat count instead for a GOP candidate.

Perhaps what we saw Tuesday was that voters were so eager to provide a check/balance system again to the Bushies that sheer numbers offset the crooked vote counts.

Your thoughts?
