a semi-progressive night

weird goings on last night, not the least of which was watching atlanner get a step closer to having its first caucasoidian mayor in 35 years -- and that house seat in upstate new york that went democratic for the first time since the civil war! plus two red governors ---although it has been pointed out that the virginia governorship always goes to the party opposite that of the president.

and of course the campaign for civil rights for all took a big hit in maine, but not in washington state, where domestic partnership is still intact---and is a lesbyterian really in a run-off for houston's mayor?
