Mixed Results...
I am very pleased that Obama won last night - McCain lost my vote late last year/early this year with a fundamental shift to the right to win his party's nod, along with other key issues that I felt were irresponsible platforms for the future of the country. I gave him the benefit of the doubt to win me back, but he never did.
Otherwise, the wonderfully quotable Michelle Bachman won re-election in my district, claiming that one of the keys to her victory came from "her tirelessly efforts that lead to reducing the price of gas to under $2.00 a gallon". Most people were clued into her craziness when she called to investigate those in Congress who coudl be 'un-American', but she's had gems of logic the past two years that have driven me nuts. She had lost my vote well before her national sound bite, and I'm rather miffed that she got re-elected. I'm sure I'll be shaking my head plenty of times during her new term, praying she screws up even more so that people finally get some smelling salts on whom they've sent to Washington for them...
