I just want to say 'Great Job!' to DSCC chair Sen Patty Murray

When you have 23 senate seats to defend including 10 retirements it usually spells 'doom & gloom' for that party. Instead Sen Murray not only kept our senate majority but she held on to some tight races like Montana, North Dakota, Virginia and Wisconsin and picked up seats in Indiana and Massachusetts (that glow you are feeling is Teddy Kennedy smiling down on you!)

Along with that she added more women to the senate including the first openly gay senator ever!!!

Great job!!!!
