(and that has been a long, long time), it looks like I will get a democratic Representative. Go Brownley (District 26) - Good riddance to Drier!

I am very happy. Couldn't stand getting Drier's garbage in my mailbox. With 2 Democratic Senators and a Democratic Representative, I feel complete.

(111,261 posts)5. My own corner of NM has become bluer and bluer
and I'd like to think I had a part in that, loading laundromats and hospital waiting rooms with my old copies of The Nation for 20 years. It still remains to be seen whether or not we manage to keep Horrible Heather Wilson's teabagging ass out of the Senate. Polls are indicating that we will.
Early voting broke all time number records after the first week. It will be interesting to see if the super heavy turnout lasts through next Tuesday.
