4. Yeah, but

Notice CNN and even MSNBC keep repeating "Chrstie won" like it is a Mantra.

[Lifelong Protester]

5. Aren't their lips chapped?

From kissing his backside so much?

I'm disgusted by the fawning. We finally had to turn off the TV (good advice).

[kenfrequed]

26. Yeah

And Christie is only vaugely moderate by todays insane standards. Twenty years ago he would have been a right wing conservative. The mainstream media is crap.

10. Should be first Democrat elected in NYC since 1989

David Dinkins was elected in 1989 and served from 1990 to 1993. Still, stunning that NYC has not had a Democrat for mayor in 20 years.

11. And in my city

of Dayton, Ohio we elected a democrat as Mayor, Nan Whaley. Sherrod Brown was in Dayton a couple of weeks ago and said at a rally that this election was one of the most important in the State.

[Bluenorthwest]

23. Good for Sherrod for showing up to rally for his fellow Democrat for such a local office!

He's the opposite of the NJ Democrats and this will not be forgotten.

[SharonAnn]

27. I'm so glad to hear that. I lived in Dayton for 20 years and loved it.

[WCLinolVir]

12. I love waking up in the morning knowing Creepinelli is going away!

[question everything]

13. Wonderful news

Most of my adult life Democrats were losing, so it is so nice to see changes.

Whatever we are doing - we should continue.

[rocktivity]

14. Tonight's top stories

the canonization of Chris Christie as the saviour of the Republican party...

P.S. Well done, Virginia -- and Rachel Maddow, who never let Governor "Ultrasound" Cucinelli out her gun sights!

15. I think Coralville, Ia should be up there.

The kock brothers threw a ton of money trying to buy that town and lost it all. I think they were experimenting with taking over town by town and failed miserably.

16. K&R

17. K&R

21. Lots of women mayors elected also--as in Minneapolis but

I have no link--just heard it on the radio news last night.

Congrats

[Bluenorthwest]

22. You left out the entire West Coast

I'd also like to mention that Mayor Parker is a conservative type who is mayor in a State in which other gay people are subjected to legal discrimination and Parker, being a 'Moderate' says nothing and does nothing about it.

[Walk away]

24. It still kind of sucked for me...I live in New Jersey. nt

25. Disappointment in Colorado as a school funding amendment was defeated

and a bunch of voucher loving right wingers were elected to large school boards.

The attack on public education is still alive and well in Colorado.
