One More!
Look at you, so cute there. You probably thought the midterm elections were over, didn't you? But no, that's where you're wrong. The good news is still coming.
I don't know why, because it's Texas and I don't know shit from Texas (purposely), but there was one more congressional election. And? We kicked their asses. Seven-term Republican Henry Bonilla, unseatedby Democrat Ciro Rodriguez. Which no one really predicted, btw.
This is especially delicious because it is as a direct result of Tom Delay's evil redistricting of Texas (which appears to have backfired) and crazy GOP anti-immigrant fervor (ditto).
So, in case you're keeping track, the final count is now 233 Democratic seats and 202 Republican. And, in case the schadenfreude (again!) hasn't kicked in yet, that's one more than they had on us (232-203) and a larger majority than they've had since at least 1994.
