Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm trying not to look beyond Illinois tonight. I'll face the rest tomorrow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Checking the results is making me tense but not checking was also making me tense.

Daniel, welcome back! You are now qualified to be a member of the exclusive Base 9 Club. (I've been a member since 1994)

Yeah, I'm not looking at the results.

I went out for a fancy cocktail with my niece, and then we had great fried chicken in Uptown. Now I'm watching John Oliver.

Next up I will probably watch some Star Wars or something. Anything to keep myself offline...

My Rep has been called, whew! Not that there was much doubt, but it’s nice to have something finished.

Fetterman won.

Warnock is up by a sliver.

NC avoids a supermajority so they can't override the Gov and enact abortion ban.

That’s heartening.

Cheri Beasley lost, but that Senate seat has been red for as long as I can remember.

Our wings are not tired.

Fucking JD Vance is pulling ahead.

I feel for the Ohioans so much. I have a bunch of cousins there as well as my beloved friends. Vance? Really people.

I haven't seen a bunch of results as it has been busy, but it sounds like it could have been a lot worse.

Speaking of a lot worse could have happened, good to see you home, Daniel. Take care of yourself!

In my congressional district, the Democratic candidate defeated the Republican incumbent and flipped the US House seat, so that helps make up for fucking JD Vance's win.

All the other statewide candidates I voted for lost in a sea of red. Sucks. But all the local candidates and issues I voted for won, which makes me feel like Cincinnati is getting more blue.
