November 08, 2006 03:56 PM EST -- It has been a hard 24 hours.  I sat and watched the returns come in and I kept thinking that the exit polls were wrong.  After all, they don't have a very good track record over the last . . . more
October 31, 2006 05:14 PM EST -- One week from today we will be going to the polls for the midterm election.  In 2004, we saw that there was 60% voter turnout and it was the highest percentage in years.  What has happened in . . . more
November 07, 2006 06:19 PM EST -- All of the debates, arguments, and accusations have led to this rainy day, at least here in Maryland, in November.  After all of the polls and political pundit predictions; the only thing that matters . . . more
November 07, 2006 11:26 PM EST -- With all of the close races and the Republican losses thus far, whatever happens at the end of the week, the Republicans will have to take a long hard look at themselves and figure out that they need to . . . more
November 08, 2006 01:21 AM EST -- It has come down to Virginia, Missouri, and Montana.  The Allen Webb race is too close to call.  This one will last for days with recounts and absentee ballots and I would bet lawsuits.  . . . more
