There will be a LOT of retractions tonight, and people calling it too early for Congress until the count is complete.

VERY hard for me to believe so many DUers don't know about Wayne Powell's campaign against eric cantor, after all the threads obxhead and I posted, and after Mudcat's visit here in June.
