MADAME SOON-TO-BE SPEAKER SPEAKS. "We have to go back to work!" Nancy Pelosi declared to a crowd of cheering supporters, referring not (yet) to the task of undoing the last six years of damage wrought upon the country. Rather she was cautioning that the polls haven't closed out west yet, and there is a lot of phonebanking left to do. Things are looking good for Pelosi, though, who looks soon to become the first female speaker of the house in American history. Just moments later KY-3 was called for the Dems -- a major pickup. If they can win in Kentucky they can win anywhere, it would seem. --Ben Adler
