BLUE STATE BLUES

Howard Dean's blustering aside, it is disappointing that the Republcians could not caputure the Virginia governorship, simply because it's a reminder that the Democrats are still viable in that increasingly red state that will be cruical in 2008 to preventing further erosion of all things good about America. On balance, as that great prophet Hannity said tonight (ahem) the Republicans started Tuesday with 28 governorships. They ended Tuesday with 28 governorships.

Last I checked 28 was more than half of 50. Of course, I'm discounting the RINO factor, I realize, but I'm trapped in blue state jail. Work with me.
