Democrat Jon Tester has declared victory in an extremely tight race for the U.S. Senate seat in Montana. However, his Republican opponent, Conrad Burns, immediately asked all voters to show up at a parking lot in Helena so they can have a recount.
(Jerry L. Embry)
Democrats captured the House of Representatives Tuesday in mid-term elections. Exit polls showed voters trusted Democrats over Republicans to fight a more effective War on Christmas.
(David Kass)
Not only did the Democrats take solid control in the House, they also secured a majority in the Senate, rebounding after a dozen years in the minority. On Wednesday, apparently out of habit, John Kerry and Al Gore delivered concession speeches.
