<p>With <a href="http://www.westchestergov.com/electiontally/linkcounty.html">100% of precincts reporting</a>, unofficial results have Andrea Stewart-Cousins beating incumbent Westchester state Senator Nick Spano: 41,369 to 39,224.</p>
<p>Kos sums up the <a href="http://feeds.dailykos.com/~r/dailykos/index/~3/46781302/0031">conflicted attitude</a> some Democrats and liberals are having today. </p>
<p>The American Prospect is <a href="http://feeds.dailykos.com/~r/dailykos/index/~3/46781302/0031">overjoyed</a> with this year and sees better days on the horizon.</p>

<p>Then again, Ben notes that according to National Journal, <a href="http://blogs.nydailynews.com/dailypolitics/archives/2006/11/rudys_bad_night.php">Giuliani backed 26 losing candidates</a> yesterday. </p>
