Election Night

No big surprises but some intriguing outcomes, especially in New York City which got its first Democratic mayor since the mid 90s and the first progressive in awhile.  At first glance the lesser of two assholes gets to be governor of Virginia, but the WPost looks at the numbers and sees something significant: the Obama coalition didn't stay home as they did in 2010.  Granted that the R candidate was so extreme he was extra motivating, but if the Rs keep going towards crazy Tea Party Land, it bodes well for 2014.
