I have a new house and it’s blue. This house is run by a woman named Nancy Pelosi. The American people acted as the Sheriff’s Deputy and served the former tenants the republicans an eviction notice last night. An eviction notice was served in the House, Senate and Gubernator races.
We watched Massachusetts elect the first Black Governor of that state, which makes Governor-Elect Deval Patrick the second Black Governor elected to office.
In the midst of all of the victories last night, there was one sour note for me. My man Harold Ford, Jr. lost by 50,000 votes, which is not bad. It shows you that most of Tennesseans are ready for change, but got edged out by the same Good Ole Boy tactics. It’s alright, you’ll see Harold again.
Last night was historic on many accounts. Massachusetts elected its first Black Governor with Deval Patrick. The first female Speaker of the House with Nancy Pelosi. Many Democrats will now head key committees, like John Connors of Michigan will head the Judicial Committee, Charley Rangel to name a few. We had big wins in Ohio, Ben Cardin beat Lt. Gov. Michael Steel in Maryland, and Senator-Elect Bob Casey, Jr. beat Lynn Swann in Pennsylvania.
Democracy still exists. Well I’m going to visit my new friends in my blue house. I may invite the majority of the Senate too. Talk to you tomorrow. Listen to GWB press conference today at 12:00. Let’s see how he spins this one.
