The Republican is going to win in my district. The Senate race here is still too close to call. The R's will almost certainly take the Senate. All this is making me sad, but not surprised.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

why is Obama so unpopular again? is it the cheap gas or all the people who now have healthcare?
Continued slow recovery while having a black president?

Not watching any election returns, only what I saw here and on FB, which was depressing enough. I'm crossing my fingers one of you won that lotto. Or that no one won it so I can win later this week. And escape to my own private dictatorship.

I still find it weird that red has come to mean conservative instead of communist.
My local returns are looking okay so far, but it's early.

Well, Pennsylvania has a new governor. So that's something. First sitting governor to lose an election in PA in 44 years.

Hey, yeah, PA went blue. Didn't expect that.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Ohio reelected its giant bag of dicks of a governor and that shambling horror of an attorney general, neither of which, unfortunately, is surprising. t edit And, of course, Boehner, which is also unsurprising (if nauseating).
Pretty sure every single candidate I voted for lost. OTOH, all the ballot issues I voted for passed, which is pretty damn important, because agencies and services that sorely need funding will continue to get it. Plus one of our landmarks won't collapse, which is nice.

People have been really pissed at Corbett.

msbelle, I think it's the last one, more or less. Seriously, bummed. I put time and money in and it looks like I could've just gotten stoned and eaten cheetos.

That sucks, erika. Thank you for putting in the work.
