The best we can hope for at this point (without Ohio, which without litigation appears beyond reach now) is a 269-269 tie, which sends the election into the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and the Republican-controlled (as per tonight's results) Senate. The only silver lining is that Dubya will still be perceived as illegitimate if this happens, although unfortunately the popular vote will be his this time around regardless.
But we might not even get that much.
This is probably the most I'll comment on this nightmarish election (suddenly I'm nostalgic for 2000 somehow) for, oh, a week.
