Via Wonkette:

• “First woman to serve as speaker of the house: Nancy Pelosi,
• First Muslim elected to U.S. Congress: Keith Ellison,
• First democratic socialist elected to U.S. Congress: Bernie Sanders,
• First Jewish governor of New York: Eliot Spitzer,
• First African-American governor of Massachusetts: Deval Patrick,
• And, according to the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, 67 openly gay candidates were elected to state and local offices.”

Good job fellow citizens. Despite all the crap, we do move forward.
