On election night all of the pundits, left, right, center, neutral, have their herald sign races that indicate to them whether there is a tsunami, wave or ripple.
For me that election is the Harold Ford election in the Senate and the Anne Northrup election in KY for the House. If Ford can pull this off as an African American in TN and if Anne Northrup loses after years of winning in a district that has treated her quite well then I think that we are in for a tsunami.
more below the fold
What a tsunami means to me is that I won't have to look at Dana Rohrabacher's mug for two years. It will mean that Jim Brandt will take his intelligence and good ideas to Washington. It will mean that our body politic will be given a good cleansing enema. We'll feel better for it.
Feel free to disagree or add to the list. I am not adding a poll because I feel that there are a lot of races out there that could qualify. I chose to limit myself to one Senate and one House. I'm not up on the governor's races but feel free to use one if you feel that it might be a harbinger of the eagerly awaited tsunami.
