Election

[pegkerr]

Okay, I should be in a good mood. Democrats have taken the house, Minnesota is finally FINALLY sending a woman to the Senate, we've just elected a strong progressive to the House in my district, the State House has changed hands to the Democrats. And Santorum has been defeated! I am truly happy about that. Dan Savage, have fun gloating.

But I'm feeling pissy. We lost the governorship by One. Lousy. Point. Hutchinson supporters, I hope you're bloody satisfied. Thanks for voting your consciences; now we're stuck with another four years of Pawlenty gutting the state.

And my state is sending an utter BIGOT to Congress.

I'm also pissed about all the states that outlawed even civil unions, never mind passing marriage amendments.

(Maybe I'll feel better after I've had breakfast.)

I'm out of state so I don't have quite the same perspective... but has Hatch actually conceded yet, or is it simply that the local media (Strib et al) is calling this for Pawlenty? The NYTimes map lists this governorship as undecided. 1% seems like grounds for a recount.

A big middle finger to the voters of the 6th CD and their 'Christian' values. At least Walz won the 1st out from under Gutknecht's nose.

Note: Daily Kos isn't calling the MN race either, at least as of 7:50 ET.

Hatch conceded at 10:00 a.m. this morning.

*Groan* As a Christian, I'm asking you to PLEASE not call Bachmann's hateful views "Christian values."

That's downright slander, that is.
