US! That's right, Pat Jehlen is the democratic nominee for State Senate in the Second Middlesex district of Massachussetts.
Sorry I didn't get to post last night when it happened. I got home around 11:30 after being awake for about 40 hours straight. I hadn't quite hit the halucinogenic stage, but I think I was getting close.
Election day went very well (obviously). In my precinct we had about 500 ballots cast and received just under 50% of the vote. I spent most of the day running around the precinct knocking on doors and making sure our supporters made it to the polls.
Based on the unofficial results we won by over 2,000 votes out of about 18,000. I was surprised that the turnout was so high. The weather was pretty crappy, drizzly all day. But fortunately there were no big downpours.
And now... well, it's another month of campaigning. There is a republican challenger. He won't win, but he's known and liked in the district so we definitely need to have a campaign (can't quite coast through it). Fortunately I think it should be a bit less intense than the primary campaign.
Today I slept in (way in) and have watched some tv. It feels very, very nice to be able to relax.

Those montages you make for television, they remind me of what we (uh... I) used to do in the bathroom before classes- masturbate and move on. Satisfying, to be sure, but not a main course, and I'm not entirely sure one gets payed enough to make a show out of it. Haiku.
