I must still be drunk from last night, because I really cannot believe how awesome it is to watch republicans cry like little babies:

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A Democratic takeover of the Senate is appearing likely after an ongoing canvass of votes in Virginia produced no significant changes in the outcome of the hard-fought race led by Democratic challenger Jim Webb, sources told CNN Wednesday.

Wednesday night, with Webb leading Republican Sen. George Allen by about 7,200 votes and the canvass about half complete, The Associated Press declared Webb the winner.

CNN does not declare a winner when race results are less than 1 percent and the potential loser may request a recount vote. (Full Senate news)

A source close to Allen also told CNN that the senator “has no intention of dragging this out.”

Meanwhile, a Webb aide told CNN that he plans a formal news conference Thursday morning to declare victory.

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em people, because we just got two more years of something resembling America. It’s like Christmas in July, only in November.

Of course, we all know this isn’t actually a victory. It’s a strong repudiation of 6 years of horrible policy but the hard work of actually A) reversing course and B) Fixing the damage has only started. Despite my overwhelming sense of relief and the odd senation I’m feeling that I believe is called “hope,” I honestly believe the next 2 years are going to be rough, possibly more so than what we’ve already gone through. Last night on Colbert, the punch line of a very funny segment was “They’ve only been in charge for a few minutes and they’ve already got us stuck in this unwinnable war!”

Funny, but be ready. I have afeeling it’s not too far from the actual Republican plan of attack.
