I think now that the election is over a lot more in-fighting is necessary to make sure we deliver the best transit system possible, right? Your excitement is awesome to hear!

Notice that the urban and forestry and fisheries (i.e. UNION) counties broke for her with the exception of Cowlitz amd Skamania (tepidly pro-Rossi) and Lewis (what the heck? I don't think they were that pro-Rossi last time around).

I may be a scourge to some of you but this was the only vote that I really cared about yesterday. I even skipped to it so that I could mark 'YES' on it before all else and called my friends to make certain that they voted in favor of it (also my elderly parents to beg them to vote "No" on I-985).

I'm ready to celebrate now! It's amazing. The results almost completely matched my ballot, but most implrtantly Prop. 1, 985, Obama, and Gregoire all went exactly the way they needed to go. I can't even put into words how excited I am today.

I was so stoked when I saw Seattle had finally been added. The election is going splendidly. With Obama in, 985 out, Gregoire looking like she'll take the governor's race, all we need is some more poll numbers for Prop. 1. It looks good but I'm not going to celebrate until more precincts report in. By the way, did anybody catch the anchors and reporters on KONG discussing Prop. 1 at about 8:30? Talk about negative. Stick to reading the teleprompter, please.
