Election 2008 anyway.  It ended well here in Blaine.  Tim Sanders won!  He’s the guy I was helping out a lot these past 2 months.  It was great to be on the winning end of that campaign.  It was also great that those results came back before 10 pm.

It will be interesting to see what the next two years bring both on the state and national levels.  With Democrats getting larger margins and winning the Presidency it will be interesting to see what happens.  I’m worried taxes will be raised and the economy could turn worse. It will be interesting to see who President Obama assembles for his cabinet.  There’s talk Congressmen Oberstar and Peterson from MN could be a part of it.  That could make things interesting on the state level, if those spots are open and Governor Pawlenty gets to appoint people.

It’s nice to have my evenings back again.  With the election over I was able to stay home for the evening.  I took a nap!  Yesterday was a 21.5 hour day between campaigning and working in St. Paul.  It was fun though.  I got 5 hours of sleep and went back to work.  It actually was a decent day at work.  Overall we lost 2 more seats, but I don’t think any staffers will be cut.  That’s a plus.

iPhone day, which I was greatly anticipating, has been pushed back by about a month.  Between election stuff, finances, and the furnace getting replaced we decided we’d wait another month until I’m back to full time at the House.  So now I’m looking forward to that!
