At Least The Rest of the Country...

...got its collective head out of its ass. WTF, NM? The Fat Lady has not yet sung, 3 days after the election here in district one, though I do expect the worst. How half the people in this district find Wilson worthy of their vote is beyond me.

Yes, the votes are still being counted, with 4 or 5 thousand machine-rejected and provisional ballots left to go. And naturally, if you have a 1600-vote lead with 5,000 left to count, the right thing to do is make a victory speech. Way to grab the bull by the balls, Heather.

Thankfully, there were some swell moments watching the other returns. Like this one. Overall, a heartwarming and faith-in-humanity-restoring sort of paradigm shift has occurred. And your mom is grateful.
