Savoring it while it lasts . . .

Just read this article on salon.com after my history professor mentioned hearing about the potential Jeffords switch earlier on the news. Am now happy, excited, hopeful -- it probably won't happen, and I haven't even read a lot about it, but the mere possibility of a Republican Senator defecting to the Democratic party is just too exciting for me not to enjoy right now. A few people have mentioned that Zell Miller from GA may switch too, but I don't think he will. So, only happy, peppy, excited thoughts from me on this as I enjoy imagining Democratic control of committees and the legislative calendar.

Until now, my roommate and I have been quite guiltily reading articles about Strom Thurmond's age and infirmity. Feeling like Very Bad People. Don't have to do that today!

Woohoo!
