Al From, the head of the Democratic Leadership Council, has released a statement celebrating "a broad and deep Democratic win."

"If Democrats act as problem solvers, not polarizers, that future will be very bright. That last point was underscored by Joe Lieberman's re-election victory in Connecticut, which helps solidify the Democratic Party's credentials as a broad, inclusive coalition able to compete for the vital center of American politics."
