According to Bush II, "the Democrat Party had a good night last night."
Well, that's one way to put it-another would be "the GOP had their butts handed to them by the libs!"
President Bush, having been thoroughly repudiated at the polls, has called a news conference for today, Wednesday at 1 PM (EST), at which he is likely to ask the new Democratic House, led by San Francisco liberal Nancy Pelosi, to work with him passing legislation.

Ward Connerly's "son-of-Proposition 209" initiative banning racial/ethnic preferences has won easily in Michigan, carrying close to 58% of the vote, despite just about the entire Michigan Establishment of both parties opposing it.
Connerly had to put up with unbelievable ploys to keep it off the ballot by politicians and by a scary "civil rights group" called By Any Means Necessary. (That, of course, was Malcolm X's euphemism for violence).
After recent elections, Democrats have taken to consoling themselves by claiming that their voters have higher IQs than Republican voters, based on a table that turned out to be a hoax.
Probably the best way to honestly estimate whose voters are smarter is to look at two exit poll demographic measures of the national House race that are known to positively correlate with intelligence: income and education.
The CNN website has posted preliminary national exit poll numbers for House races. They show a big victory for Democrats in House races, in the 55-45 range, in contrast to the GOP's 51-45 win in the last midterm election in 2002.
(My detailed analysis of the long lost exit poll data from 2002 is here.)
The exit polls show a general shift toward the Democrats among most demographic groups except blacks.
