While the person I wanted to win for senator didn't (which is a shame, because he would have been wonderful), at least our Democratic governor won another term. So atleast there's some BLUE here!

And in GA, where I am still a resident and vote by absentee, once again, my vote didn't make a difference But I still voted!

Even though Georgia re-elected Sonny I am glad overall with the Democrats gains across the country.

Same here. And Sonny really isn't all that bad - he's former Dem after all.

For once in my life, I'm happy I live in a State where my vote makes a difference .
I grew up in IL and am a Democrat--so it's not like I was really ever needed to vote there. 1st time I lived in MO was the 1st time I was allowed to vote for President--and I voted absentee in IL. That was dumb. Moved to MA and voted there (again, being a Dem didn't matter much--although I DID vote for Shannon O'Brien over Mitt Romney--not like that ended up helping). Moved back to MO and registered to vote here--and thankfully finally made a difference . JIM (no)TALENT SUCKS--I'm happy he didn't get elected. Claire McCaskill isn't my favorite person--but she's a helluva lot better than (no)Talent. I'm also happy that the Stem Cell Research Amendment has seemed to pass (take that Rush Limbaugh!).

I'm moving again at the end of the year--most likely to a Blue State (not that I'm doing that purposely--I'm moving anyway but my choices are decidedly to 'Blue' places), but I'm happy that I got to see effective change in Missouri.

Voting was easy here--I chose computer over paper ballot--but both were A LOT nicer than the old butterfly ballots we had. There were no stickers--we were told the Election Commission didn't want to spend the money for them this year
