I had dental surgery that day, voted with my face still half numb on my way home. There was good turnout at my polling place, not surprising since our former senator was on the ballot. I had no doubt about the outcome since her opponent was nothing but an offensive blowhard. I fell asleep on the couch watching the returns on TV and woke up at about 3am to see that offensive blowhard standing there with his entire creepy family - I thought I must be having a bad dream. And it's still going on nine years later...
