Late Returns

The vote counting continues in Alaska, where teabaggin' favorite Joe "Brawny Man" Miller is trailing incumbent Senator, and Winky's nemesis, Lisa "Murky" Murkowski (ed. note, wouldn't it be a hoot, as Winky would say, if a victorious Murky decided to caucus with the Dems? Not going to happen, but fun to speculate). Instead we have some consolation in the late-breaking victories of Dems in these races:

-Sen. Patty Murray won reelection in Washington
-Sen. Michael Bennet won reelection in Colorado
-Gov. Pat Quinn won the Governor's race in Illinois
-Dan Malloy won the Governor's race in Connecticut
-John Kitzhaber won the Governor's race in Oregon
