Still Alive

Wide gap a surprise in race for Senate

The headline refers to two things. First, the hope that the Democrats will retake the Senate remains alive; the open seat that Republicans are targeting the most, that of Sen. Mark Dayton in Minnesota, shows the new Democrat, Amy Klobuchar, whipping the awful Mark Kennedy 50-31. (Sadly, the state's Republican governor, elected during the terrible 2002 sweep, looks like he may survive.)

But the headline is also just to let you know that, despite the lack of blogging, I'm still alive. When James manages four posts in six days and I give you nothing, I start to wonder if I'm still alive.
