I'll have more in the morning, but my quick thoughts. Of course it was a bad defeat tonight.  Let's not kid ourselves. We had a chance to stop the decline, and we didn't. We held the House pretty strongly, so that's good, and a reflection that candidates and...

There are way too many events today for me to post separately. This is a trial run of what we will do tonight starting at 6 p.m. Eastern, which is a Twitter feed using accounts I selected for today, together with a WordPress "live" feed for me and the other Authors to update (once we reach a certain critical mass of updates, you should be able to scroll through. (I'm also exploring Scribble Live, so we may use that tonight.). READERS CAN POST COMMENTS as usual in the comment section. I will probably leave this "sticky" at the top for a while. Let me know what you think. [TWITTER FEED REMOVED] Click "More" for LI Author updates.
