way to go, D's!!!

i am excited to say (for the first time in a long while) that election day went well overall. even some of the repubs in texas got booted out of office, which is AMAZING (although somehow perry got re-elected). i woke up with a smile on my face and a feeling of confidence that we are moving in the right direction, or if anything, at least a fair and balanced one.

i'm proud of america, and love the below numbers, courtesy of time mag.
