Election Relief

I'm pretty pleased at this moment in time.
I knew I'd be shedding tears tonight no matter what the outcome, but I'm so much happier shedding *these* tears.
I'm delighted with how many women won their races.
The best moment of the evening was probably seeing our new congressman, Mark Pocan, kiss his husband on the dais as he accepted victory. He beat his opponent 2 to 1. Go Mark!
Unfortunately, we may still be unhappy with the way our state is being run, but I'm confident we can survive the rest of Walker's term, with our Dems in congress.
And tomorrow?  The phones will be silent, and the political ads will be replaced with hucksters encouraging us to spend outrageously on xmas gifts (at least the music will be cheerful?).
