Hippocrates In San Diego

Veni, vidi, vici

The Associated Press, Reuters, and CNN are calling the Virginia Senatorial race in favor of Democratic challenger Jim Webb, giving the Democrats effective control of the Senate. The final score: Dems 49, Repubs 49, Independents 2 — but both Indies (Connecticut’s Joe Lieberman and Vermont’s Bernard Sanders) have announced that they will caucus with the Democrats. It is a great sweep for the Democrats, who were left for dead after the 2004 election. Hooray democracy!
