I’m despondent.
From the Democratic point of view, the defeat of the moderate,
well-known Castle turns what had looked to be a lost cause into a
likely win. Keeping the seat in Democratic hands could be the margin of
control in the Senate. So the folks who focus on electing Democrats and
keeping a Democratic majority can't be blamed for breaking out the
champagne over O'Donnell's win.
Not me, for two reasons.
First, I had thought the silver lining of this election year might be
to produce a Senate with a more robust cadre of moderate Republicans.
That caucus has pretty much dwindled to the two senators from Maine,
with very occasional company from colleagues such as Massachusetts Sen.
Scott Brown and departing Ohio Sen. George Voinovich. It's awfully hard
for a caucus of two to break with the party. Ruth Marcus

I pray my giddiness here is not like seeing in the brilliant light of a nuclear blast where I put my car keys.
