Democratic shitstorm in Kentucky

I had a gut feeling the Republicans were in for a looooong night tonight, but I sure didn't expect this!

Voters in Kentucky just handed the GOP its worst scorching in recent memory, as the Democrats just won 5 of 6 statewide offices by landslide margins. The only Republican win was Agriculture Commissioner, thanks to the Democrats' inexplicable choice to nominate an unusually weak candidate.

I can't speak for other states, but Kentucky is on fire tonight! Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear is winning reelection by a smashing 25% margin: Beshear has 57%; Republican David Williams trails with 32%; independent Gatewood Galbraith has 11%.

And to think it was only a few years ago that The Media anointed the Republicans as rulers-for-life. The fact that we can call the election by 8 PM ought to be a surefire indicator that the tide has turned.

Meanwhile, Italy's right-wing dictator Silvio Berlusconi has announced his resignation.
