US Midterm Elections 2006
Today, Nov 7th, is the day where the voters will decide to stay with a one-party in control of the federal government or a divided government (not necessarily a bad thing) for the next two years.
As such, election coverage of today's vote will be quite detailed, massive, and perhaps up to the point of overload. Here are some recommended links:
