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 started disliking Michele when she ran for schoolboard here and she sends her kids to private school. I don't think that is a good representation of the average household. She is so smug and lays that Christian stuff on when it is so inappropriate. Ugh! Still can't believe she won.

I was hoping Hatch would be elected and he could get to work on helping the college students. I have 3 kids in school here in Mn. and it is a killer to pay those tuitions. Also was hoping we get moving on the stem cell research. Mabye these things will happen now with the sea change...

But we are sending Amy and she will shake things up! We need to think positive! Yea!
