It's Ugly

As I predicted, it looks like the GOP will hold on to the Senate by the barest of margins--at least as of this posting.

Unfortunately, my hopes of holding the House were not fulfilled. It looks like Speaker Pilazy--I mean Pelosi.

Stacy Campfield, after fending off the GOP establishment and the shrill, humorless Sheree Pettigrew, will be returning to Nashville.

Unfortunately, Randall Parker and David Massengill will not be joining him, but Jimmy Matlock will.

I looked at the exit polls on the Senate race and from it emerges a profile of the typical Ford voter. She is un-married, non-white, childless, non-religious woman who never attends church and is between the ages of 18 and 29 or over 60 and lives in Memphis.

She has no college degree, makes less than $50,000, voted for Kerry and Bredesen, disapproves of how Bush is doing his job and does not want Frist for president. She comes from Memphis and decided on who to vote for within the last two weeks.

She considers terrorism, illegal immigration, government corruption/ethics to be of low importance.

The profile of a Corker voter is a married, white, conservative, church-going, evangelical Christian Republican, male between the ages of 30 and 59. He is a college graduate with children and earns over $50,000 per year and lives in suburban east Tennessee. Approves of Bush’s job performance and considers terrorism, illegal immigration, government corruption/ethics to be of high importance.

Given a choice between the two for the task of deciding who will run the country, I'd but more faith in the latter voter.
