Thank God senator John Kerry didn't follow the plaintiff trial lawyer John Edwards' advice but instead had decided to do the honorable thing and conceded. If you know anything about provisional ballots, you know that 99% of them probably will not be valid: vote from registered voters who somehow didn't have their names in the database or on the roster on election day. It's more likely that they are not registered at all or have registered after the cut-off deadline for this election in their particular state.

All in all a great election for us Republicans except for Danny Chandler in the sheriff race in Dallas county and Arlene Wohlgemuth the US House seat for the 17th congressional district.

Hubert Vo became the first American of Vietnamese descent to win a seat in the Texas House. He ran as a Democrat and got 20,584 votes against incumbent Talmadge Heflin who only got 20,532 votes for state representative district 149, which has a high concentration of Americans of Vietnamese descent. However, the margin of victory were only 54 votes. Unless he switch party, I am afraid he's going to lose in 2006.

There's always a first time for everything. The Redkins lost the game on Sunday but the party in power, the Republican Party did not lose the White House as the media people had hoped but rather retained it and gained 4 seats in the US Senate as well as a minimum of that many seats in the US House.
