Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Just back home from a whirlwind jaunt to the D, where the Dems held their victory party in the always confusing confines of the Ren Cen. Michigan Dems did well, national dems even better, and today, Rumsfeld is out! Maybe tomorrow Bush will resign!

The party in Detroit was over relatively early, as the key races (Stabenow and Granholm) were called very early. By midnight all speeches had been made, and partiers broke off to their more intimate gatherings. Today we met Granholm at the IHOP where she addressed the media and ate breakfast with her family, shook hands, stood for pictures with the locals, and then walked out to light applause.

I love election day.
