Well, it's not going to please many people back home, but I'm pretty pleased with the election results. I was a little nervous going in that it would be a lot closer than it was. Obama even (unofficially) picked up NC by a margin of about 11,000 votes! North Carolina and Missouri were two of the most contested states when it came down to the election. Carolina going blue by 11k as I said (70% voter turnout in Durham Co.!!!), and MO going red by about 5k. It's a novel feeling to vote for a democrat and be on the majority side in a state (albeit a slim majority).
To brag for a moment, I also predicted the exact percentage (to the nearest point) of the popular vote that Obama would get back in MS: 42%. Not bad.
We'll see how the next four years go, but for now, I'm happy.
Oh, and for all of you who were on the edge of your seat, Danielle Adams was elected with 46% of the popular vote (about 10% edge on the closest challenger) for Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor.

I think "so happy" is too happy.
