Boys in blue in a BLUE state

Lynne:
"These were stunning results, particularly in the Senate. It showed how bad things were for the Republicans when they spent the early hours of yesterday hoping that a few cowboys in Montana (presumably not the Brokeback Mountain type) might save their bacon in that chamber. How George Allen in Virginia managed to blow that state is a mystery well beyond anything that the world of fiction could envisage."

Lynne:
And a completely WRONG prediction:

CRAIG WINNEKER, Editor, This Europe
...It will all come down to turnout. Yawn. What an election-eve cliché. What it really comes down to is which party will be better able to suppress the potential voting activities of its opponent. One big question mark: will the clandestinely-gay-fundamentalist-Christian-dad vote be mobilized or discouraged by recent news events? I think when push comes to shove these guys will descend from Brokeback Mountain and swarm polling places. They'll probably give Conrad Burns another six years.

Ellemeno:
Our Boys gave Congress back to the Democrats!  Water Walkin' Jesus, is there anything they can't do??  :)

JT:
I really think Brokeback Mountain has somethin' to do with the result of this election.  I think people's mind have been changed by this movie and the story of our boys.  Could you imagine how many more minds could change if everyone watches this movie?
