Dave Argall kept his seat in the House. Inconsequential to most (likely all) here, but he's a damn good politician and I'm always happy to see him win.

meh

Anyway, there were 3 local state rep seats that only had ONE person running. Pathetic how this state has been cut up due to gerrymandering. And to see crapholes like Dante Santoni and Tom Caltagirone keep getting elected year and year is very disheartening on a local level. I don't really want a Republican to win either seat, but anyone would be better. Luckily, Dave Kessler won in the 130. Even Sam Rohrer almost lost in the 128, quite a feat for his opponent. That guy went to Bob Jones University, need I say more?

Anyway, I cannot wait until Obama speaks. Just can't.

This may be a dumb questions, but who fills Biden's Senate seat? How does that all work?

This is really incredible.

The one sad thing is all the McCain supporters who are changing facebook statuses to how they think the country is screwed, how they are moving, and basically F Obama sentiments.

Oh god. After 8 years of hearing about how Bush isn't my President, you're going to say something like this?

I never said that. I didn't agree with most anything he did but I never got so angry that I needed to call all of his supporters band wagoners, d-bags, etc.

It's louder here at West Chester than it was after the Phils won. Like, not even close. Pure pandemonium here.

i saw this too. i could care less. i just find it funny people who know so little writing all kinds of crazy. i know very little about politics and don't post in these threads, but i do usually read them and feel that i've got a good idea of what is going on from most here.

By the states' governors right? And both are Dem governors right now it seems.

McCain still will be in the Senate, right?

Well, Republicans in PA can hold onto hope with Tom Corbett, their likely pick for governor, if he wants it. He won re-election tonight when most other Democrats took it.

Any word on when Obama's speaking? I gotta wake up early tomorrow and want to know if it's worth staying up for.

I wonder how any of them might have facebook statuses calling Obama supporters jackasses.
