Well, I'm happy in Minnesota [View all]

We didn't lose any of the federal seats, although I wish we'd gained a few. We've kept the governorship and the state House, and taken back the state Senate. Looks like we're going to keep our attorney general. State auditor will go to a hand count, so that's a ways off. Even got my choice on school board. As DH said, when he called me at work to let me know the latest, "Let the socialism begin!"

(That comment came out of a 'man on the street' interview from the news this morning. A nice silver-haired woman was asked how she decided her vote and she stated that it was the economy - gas and food was ridiculous - and besides, she didn't want socialism here. I thought it was very nice of her to voluntarily give up her Medicare and Social Security. Wait, what, not hers? Just other people's? Well, butter my ass and call me a biscuit. Who could have seen that coming?)
