I've been out of the news loop, obviously. But I was very excited to hear she won, even if I'm probably the last DUer to know it! :)

1. Great news, isn't it!!

Take that you pollsters and pundits.

[elperromagico]

2. I've noticed the news networks don't seem to be covering it

They tend to downplay Dem victories, the bastards.

[Skittles]

7. of course they do

whereas repug victories always really MEAN something

[jeter]

3. lol, ya we heard yesterday. Thanks though

It was a good victory for us. I wonder if the doomsayers who predict that losing governorships in KY and MS will be the end of the Democrats, will now be encouraged by victories in KS, AZ, OK, NV, and now LA. All states carried by Bushie.

4. that is a story that is under reported

is the democratic victories in 02 and 03 in those GOP states, plus the Democratic victories in key swing states like Pennsylvania, Illinois (first dem gov in 30 years) Michigan, and Wisconsin. Plus we just won the New Jersey legislature.

12. You're right

I'm a Pennsylvanian and was psyched when Ed Rendell won the governorship last year.

13. So, do you live somewhere else?

I'm in Fargo, ND. Born at Hotel Dieu and went home to Lakeview, moved up to Lake Vista, and then a long but fun slum through Gentilly, Treme and Carrolton.

Split in '86 when my job evaporated and got one in D.C.

[kayleybeth]

11. Yeah she did!

And I now live in a BLUE state! Yaaaaaay!

Dang, I almost forgot what it feels like to be able to gloat. It's been a while :)

15. That's cause the news didn't mention a DEM winning.

Doesn't fit the REPUG domination theory.

16. Great news!

I was in the mountains over the weekend and just found out this morning. This is wonderful news. Very uplifting.
