Election results looking favorable for Democrats

Ohio voters have decided to put a right to abortion in their constitution. Kentucky voters have reelected their Democratic governor. A Democrat won the Pennsylvania race for its Supreme Court. The Virginia legislature is still up for grabs. Texas voters are merrily voting for every single initiative on the ballot except for one that would raise the retirement age for judges. Make of that what you will.

Overall, it looks like a decent night for liberals. But Virginia will make or break things.

LATE POSTSCRIPT: Democrats have won 20 out of 40 seats in the Virginia state Senate and will probably win another one or two. This means Republicans won't control everything. Dems also look like they might even squeak out a majority in the House of Delegates too.

    I saw something, and I can't remember where, that said something to the effect that every Democratic president who was re-elected was re-elected in a year when a Democrat was governor of Kentucky.

    Make of that what you will.
