Some wrap-up notes:
- Montana's been called for Tester, embiggening the odds that control of the Senate will be decided by a crotchety old state court judge in Richmond. Someone better keep an eye on Katherine Harris: she's got a lot of free time now, and this is what she's good at. (Note: The Hotline's Marc Ambinder is reporting that "senior Republican officials and White House aides" think Virginia is lost, and will pressure Allen to concede.)
- Steny Hoyer wants the Majority Leader's office.
- Denny Hastert doesn't want the Minority Leader's office. (But Boehner does.)
- There was also something about Rumsfeld; not sure what it was....
- From The Hotline's extensive collection of election scorecards comes a breakdown of the celebrity-guest effectiveness of the various White House '08 Democrats. In order of efficiency:
- Obama, 80.4% (37 races won, 9 races lost)
- Biden, 76.9% (20-6)
- Edwards, 75.7% (44-14)
- Kerry, 71.6% (58-23)
- HRC, 70.0% (28-12)
- Feingold, 68.8% (11-5)
- Dodd, 68.0% (17-8)
- Vilsack, 58.3% (14-10)
- Richardson, 57.1% (24-18)
- Bayh, 54.2% (13-11)
- Clark, 42.9% (12-16)
