I'm SO happy that that smug prick Brat lost. I'm bummed that Randy Bryce lost pretty badly for Paul Ryan's seat. What the hell, Wisconsin? PA kicked ass. And Michigan has legalized recreational weed?!

polling w/in the margin of error. It just makes me ill that Paul Ryan's buddy won his seat. Ugh. I gotta see how Scott Walker is doing. I thought he was polling pretty badly but looks like it's close? Vote suppressor Kris Kobach lost badly -- that's a huge WIN! Gotta see how the supremely corrupt Duncan Hunter is doing...
