eruthrosRUMSFELD JUST RESIGNED.
And AP has Tester (D) as the winner in Montana.
OMG.

ETA: And it's not just from, like, ThinkProgress. No, baby, this shit is on CNN.COM. And remember a week ago, Bush was all "Rumsfeld's my man and he'll serve me through this entire term"?
ETA 2: Oh, oh, and remember this: Who has to approve the new Sec of Defense? Senate. Which just might go blue.
I'm gonna cry right here in the library, I swear. I didn't know how much Rumsfeld leaving meant to me until just now. Rumsfeld. Gone. God. All the parents of kids in Iraq and and the kids themselves in Iraq and ... and... just. He's gone.
ETA 3: Oh, right, like I was going to get any reading done after that? Please. CNN also just called Montana for Tester by 4000 votes.
ETA 4: We post the ETAs as they come in. Because Hastert just said he's not going to try to be in the (minority!) Republican leadership. Nice. (Not that the Reps don't have plenty of bastards to take his place, but it'll be nice to not see Hastert all over.)

Date: 2006-11-08 06:28 pm (UTC)I should be doing my reading and instead I'm sitting here going "..." and trying not to cry.
People said "oh, whatever, a slim majority won't make a difference." And. Well. Less than 24 hours later.
