Another recount?

Whew! What a night. Before we launch into a day's worth of analyzing, theorizing and guessifying, let's all take a moment to recall these prescient words in a commentary written a few days ago by Andy Barr, communications director for Al Franken's (eventually) successful campaign for the U.S. Senate:

But soon it'll be over. There will be tears, regardless of the outcome. There will be goodbye dinners followed by heavy drinking -- in celebration or consolation; it all sort of looks the same. There will be solemn promises to significant others ("never again!") -- most of which will be quickly broken when the next cycle rolls around. There will be pride in hard work done. And, most of all, there will be closure, a chance to step out of the storm and regain control over your life.

Unless, of course, there's a recount. In which case, you're utterly screwed.

I can't help feeling we're "utterly screwed" in any case.

It seems like the choices these days are are:
1. One party or the other running out of control.
2. Split government gridlock.
