other fallouts from november 4th

Amid all the election night hoopla you may have missed these tidbits:

My (old) district's congressman, moderate Republican Chris Shays, lost his reelection campaign, officially making New England entirely blue, with a few, umm, gray spots?

My (current) district's congresswoman, Yvette Clark,went to the same hippie-ed out little liberal arts college as me.

Michigan legalized (medical) pot. California shot down gay marriage. Al Franken is still trying to get into the Senate. No news yet if the union is getting any more perfect.

And oh yeah. Obama!
