The Rites of Democracy

The biennial ritual of the American democracy is well underway, as Americans are given, once again, an opportunity that they too often take for granted, and which people in some parts of the world are willing to die to earn - the right to vote from among their fellow-citizens, those who would govern them.


As the evening progresses, we will be linking to mainstream media reports of vote tallies as they develop. We will also add commentary to those results.


As we go to press, WGN-TV in Chicago is reporting that Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) has won re-election. More details to come, as available.

All readers are welcome to offer insightful, thoughtful comments on posts, other readers's comments, etc. This is manifestly not a post-modern blog; formal logic is the intellectual framework that we use for commentary. Sorry, if you can't handle structured/structural thought, you shouldn't be reading this blog. Ad hominem attacks will not be tolerated. Neither will spam ads. If you can't resist the urge to post a spam ad about how hot you and your naughty sorority sisters are (or how eager you are to meet "generous older gentlemen"), or what a great site you found for knockoff electronics on cheap, or much money I can save buying v1agra or C !al1s at a steep discount (a particularly offensive line of advertising), then please just go away. Violators will be blocked. Thank you!
