Did Rick Santorum really go down?
I don't think Ohio was a real tossup, but good news none the less
BTW, Although it can be a bit harder to navigate, the breakdown on info on CNN's site is by far the best.
Do-wah-ditty-ditty-dum-ditty-do.
MSNBC says Bob Menendez (D) beats Tom Kean, Jr.(R) in New Jersey
CNN projects Menendez(D) in NJ as the winner.
It's official -
Gain for DEMOs - Bob Casey defeats Rick Santorum
- Per FAUX newsPA (LDem) Bob Casey (D) v. Rick Santorum Inc. (R)
FAUX News just called this race for Menendez
Everything looks awesome for the Democrats so far. Virginia is the place that is ridiculously close right now. That race is going to be huge.
So that makes 3 calls: CNN, Faux, MSNBC
The call for Menendez is official:
FAUX News, MSNBC, and CNNNJ (Toss) Robert Menendez Inc. (D) v. Tom Kean, Jr. (R)
MSNBC calls it for Sherrod Brown (D) over Mike DeWine (R) in Ohio
Live Webshot from the WH
Santorum is done...... America will be a better place because of his loss
I'm not so sure...without his moral leadership in the Senate, people everywhere might start marrying their dogs.
