Just a few thoughts from last night:

1. Of course VA would have a recount. Crazy close.

2. Maureen Bunyan = worst anchor ever. Through the first 15 minutes of the 11:00 news on channel 7, she forgot the names of the Virginia Senate candidates, stumbled through the results news, said stupid commentary about one candidate “winning by a landslide” (I mean, can you just report the fact – that wasn’t even like smart speculation) and also said “uh” more times than I care to count. Seriously. Do some research and learn your candidates – even if it’s just the correct name. I know you’re just an anchor but GOD. It was painful to watch and made me want to gouge my eyes out.

3. Also not suprising is the marriage amendment passed as a YES in VA. I think it’s more than a religious/moral type issue though in the long run – had it been banned and companies had to recognize all domestic partnerships (gay, straight, whatever), then it would have also had an economic and business impact. Employers forking over more money to cover whatever your partner was etc… – so I think that had something to do with it too.

4. Does anyone know what hotel in Tysons Webb was at last night? Also found it funny the Fenty camp was closed by the live 11 pm newscast…the reporter was talking in front of an empty tent that was deadly quiet.

5. Looks like the Dems will take over both houses eventually – once all the votes are counted (and recounted) and in. That’s pretty interesting. How can people say voting doesn’t matter and such when you have proof in this election (and also in the Presidential elections in 2000 and 2004)?

Man, watching returns last night made me again wish to be involved in politics and media. I would have loved to have been in a newsroom last night – or at least at the parties! Haha.
