• I’m so excited that we won….

   

  And so sad that we lost….

   

  All I can say is (quoting a certain awesome somebody), to God be the glory.

   

  …and it was a good night to be an Idahoan.

   

  50% to 45%, people. It was close. Too close for comfort. But we won. So I’m not griping.

   

  My county voted as follows:

   

  US REPRESENTATIVE, District 1
  	DEM	Larry Grant	2,375	41%
  	UNI	Andy Hedden-Nicely	62	1%
  	IND	Dave Olson	151	3%
  	REP	Bill Sali	3,150	54%
  	CON	Paul Smith	55	1%

   

  My county is where Larry Grant was born and raised.

  Reps won every important seat. We lost some state rep seats in the Boise area, and the broken polling machines last night kept us up rather late…but all-in-all, it turned out quite well for Idahoans.

   

  SO. Currently, I'm in between ecstacy for Idaho, and tears for America. :)
