Good to know. Someone should make a note of that.

You know what, though? I bet these same ideas will come up in future elections. When it comes to toxic issues, some Republicans seem to have a learning disability.

We have long since learned the advantages of hanging together and having each others' backs.

Although now that we've won I'm very happy that younger women have experienced the possibility of losing their right, and I appreciate that they came roaring back. It's a constant fight and we shouldn't take our rights for granted.

All in all I think a lot of good things happened to make this election so successful. The Teabaggers did us a favor by threatening and actually passing legislation in States that were anti-women.
