The country has told Bush that stay the course, or whatever he wants to call it, is kaput. The Santorums of the world have been on notice, no more mixing church with state. Some sanity has been restored. Now let's see if they know what to do with it.

Webb still leads, but by 2700 or so votes. If this all hold, the Dems take the Senate too. That's a big if.

Where was all this 24 hours ago?
