Light Blogging for Today ...

No, I'm not drinking away my sorrows over Tom Suozzi's loss up in New York ... I'm still here. Just swamped. For now, here's some darn good blogging to check out since I'm not able to contribute much today:

• Political Wire picks up the results and runs through them. Coupla surprises, of course. Linc ekes out a win in Rhode Island. I suspect he'll get a temporary bump in the polls that might give us Dems reason to be downcast on gaining that seat. But I also think it'll be close come November and our odds there have to be fairly decent. The NYT reporting on the Empire State races make it seem as if Suozzi is content with the outcome and no apparent bitterness is there. I hope that's the case - Suozzi deserves a shot at something big in that state and I hope that I can eventually support him without any conflicting vibe. The race up in New Hampshire had an upset after all. Minor storyline, really. But the DCCC annointed candidate lost. Peter Sullivan picked up 5% despite dropping out of the race. In all, a second-tier pickup opportunity drops off the map for Dems. Just as well, we've got one or two seats like that here in Texas that, I'm sure, would love to be added as a replacement.

• Kuff notes that the DMN endorses a Democrat for statewide office: William Moody for Supreme Court Justice. I gotta say, I'm surprised. I figure Chris Bell will pick up a few endorsements here and there (or maybe a lot, for all I know). But to see any of the other candidates picked is a pleasant surprise.

• Phil Martin has the goods on one of those rising stars in TXDem circles - Juan Garcia. Sure looks a lot better than the news his opponent has been making lately. No wonder our GOP blogger buddies are crossing their fingers that voters are too stupid to figure out which electeds have been naughty and which ones have been nice.

Anything significant that I missed? Lemme know.

UPDATE: Oh, it's not blogging, but it's good stuff in the email inbox. Tomorrow afternoon, Pennsylvania Senate candidate Bob Casey is giving one of those big policy wonk speeches at Catholic University's Law School. The speech is entitled "Restoring America's Moral Compass: Leadership and the Common Good" and allegedly, we'll be able to watch online over at the school's site - 2pm Texas time tomorrow.

From the email:

Casey's speech will include a discussion of the Congressman Lincoln Davis' Pregnant Women Support Act. This bill will be introduced in the coming weeks in the U.S. House of Representatives.

ODDBALL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: I notice this link prior to an otherwise great lunch meeting today to discuss another blog project. Makes ya wonder is all I'm saying.
