As we have learned time and again, perception is the most important factor in any recount battle, and we won't get any help from the media in these remaining Senate battles. So we need to force the issue.
Webb has won Virginia. He's ahead now and the remaining votes should favor him, and so when we talk about him, we should refer to him as Senator-Elect Webb unapologetically. That meme needs to take hold across the internet and wherever Democrats and progressives appear on television shows.
Tester has won Montana. Same as Webb. He's Senator-Elect Tester from now on. Make the perception a reality.
Conversely, we'll need to fight as hard as we can in the tough House recounts where we're down, but those are lower-profile races and the major media won't play as large a role in shaping public consciousness on winners and losers. It's the Senate where we need to frame the debate.
Senator Webb
Senator Tester
Majority Leader Reid
Damn, that sounds good.
Edit: Thanks everyone, for pushing this to the top of the rec list. I haven't been here in a couple of years (the diary about the woman who lost her job over a Kerry bumpersticker in 2004). This point seemed self-evident to me, but I thought it should be pounded home all the same. We won. Don't let anyone spin this differently.
