Well Obama had major freaking coat tails here...
I just went to check our local results and wow...
Town has new Democrat woman council person in more than 20yrs the council isnt all Republican - our NY State District has 3 new Judges,the next district 2 Democrats defeated Republicans. We got a new young 20 something state assemblyman, our neighboring coummunity has a fmr democrat assemblyman re-elected to a full term. Our red county is going blue. The best bestest news is that our TEABAGGER Congresswoman Nan Hayworthless is defeated. Lots of other down ticket races went to Democrats.
