• There are roughly 225,000 registered Democrats in Delaware who are at least thirty years old (multiply registration figures by age crosstabs on the Delaware exit poll). This gives each of them a 1-225,000 chance of becoming the next Senator from Delaware. Seems like pretty good odds, if you ask me. Delaware Dem and Swing State Project have actual thoughts on Biden's replacement.

• Obama won everyone (58% of the electorate) who is not a white Protestant 67%-31%, and everyone (74% of the electorate) who is not a white evangelical / born-again 62%-36% (see exit polls). I intend to bring that up every time a pundit believes it is insightful to say that Democrats would lose every election were it not for African-Americans. Were it not for white Protestants, the Republican Party would functionally cease to exist.

• There are a bunch of actions for Jim Martin, Democratic candidate in the Georgia Senate run-off, taking place today. BlogPac teamed up with Paul Hackett for one of those actions. Since 4 p.m. eastern, 53 people have contributed $2,945. Paul Hograth has a rundown of other Jim Martin events today.

• Brave New Films has a new video out on Lieberman:
  

  
  

• Check out this great, quantitative comparison of the social media and search engine performances of the Obama and McCain campaigns.

• Turns out the country likes one-party rule, as long as Democrats are doing the ruling:

  In the CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Tuesday, 59 percent of those questioned said Democratic control of both the executive and legislative branches will be good for the country, compared with 38 percent saying such one-party control will be bad.

  Of course, the election results already told us that the country has no problem with Democrats running the country without Republicans. We didn't need a poll to tell us that.
