NEW YORK On a special live Comedy Central report on today's elections, Jon Stewart of The Daily Show said, first, of the Demcoratic gains, "I don't know what it means either," but then explained that it will lead to the Dems gaining "access to political power and perversion."

Looking at one key loss for the GOP, he said: "Rick Santorum has been raptured to a better place."

Commenting on some other races decided, he said that with Bernie Sanders winning in Vermont, the state went from having an Independent to a Socialist, and thus "now it is even less relevant. Congratulations!"

He called Katharine Harris's defeat in Florida "deflating" (as a graphic showed her breasts shrinking). He said the state had lost "two flotation devices."

Stewart had opened the show asking, "Can Karl Rove's tactical genius overcome....reality?"

The announcement of Santorum's loss drew such a cheer from the crowd, Stewart said he was worried about a riot breaking out.

Stephen Colbert later put up a graphic showing a GOP sweep -- then admitted it was a map of the Reagan wipeout of Mondale in 1984.
