I hope your voting experience (and that of your family's) went well. Warner was one of the first projections of the night. Obama/McCain VA count had me on pins and needles but I gradually felt relief as more precincts reported. Only Bill Day (House) did not win, neither did I expect him to, but I was glad to vote for someone who works with Habitat for Humanity and went back to school for a Master's in counseling to serve as a mental health counselor even after earning an MBA from Harvard.

It took a little longer than we expected, but man -- what a night, and what a day to wake up to. Congratulations, all -- and I look forward to working with all of you (well, except Darryl and Mr. Pee) and President Obama for the next 8 years to dig us out of the wreckage that the republicans have left scattered across this great country that we love.
