Great Election!
Nov. 7th, 2012 06:53 pmGreat Results of This Historic Election:
1. OBAMA WON! He got broad support across the country and the popular vote.
2. Plus, the GOP is getting a public reckoning. (OBAMA won on his coalition of women, youth, black, hispanic, and Asian votes.) While it held on to the House, it did it by a slight margin, and lost the Senate, which has a Democrat majority.
2. Women's voices were heard - Claire McCaskill defeated Todd Aiken in Missouri, and 19 Women Gained Seats in the US Senate. They are diverse and from various backgrounds. Elizabeth Warren is the first female US Senator from Massachustes! They also defeated all the men who supported Todd Aiken, including Murdoch.
3. Maine and Maryland passed Same-Sex Marriage Equality Acts, Minnesota defeated a BAN against Same-Sex Marriage and in Wisconsin Tammy Baldwin became the first openly gay woman to be elected to the US Senate!
This is wonderful. Things are getting better! After two weeks of hell, very happy.
