and they refused to endorse Hillary

I'm seeing very little in the televised media about it, for some reason.

I've having trouble absorbing all of the amazing results, while also trying to accept and digest the crushing disappointments. Thanks for adding to the POSITIVE side!! The more good I have to absorb, the better I feel.

and thanks for your appreciation.

And, I live right across the lake - well, and 2/3 of the way across the Mitten. But still - like family!

We're trying to figure out where you are..

Right outside the Flint City Limits. And, fortunately, I have my own well.

I was talking to her when her win flashed by the t.v. Big win.

Sean Casten won in the 6th, which is my home turf.

was cobsidered one of the most Republican districts in the country... No more.

They named the tollway after St. Ronnie as it runs through DuPage. That's all anybody should need to know, that in blue NE IL, DuPage named a state tollway and federal expressway after the actor with dementia.

...have been in her district. I am even happier about this victory than I am about 6 flipping.

A young black woman in a suburban,/rural overwhelmingly white area -- So wonderful!

around the country, figuratively speaking of course, to better understand where we are at with regards to state and fed wins....

Lauren Underwood, a Democrat from Naperville who has never held elected office, pulled off a stunning victory Tuesday, unseating four-term Republican incumbent Randy Hultgren

So much to absorb....I think I will be busy...focusing on the win by Zach Wahls....wins IOWA state senate seat...27 years old...so young..with a bright future.....

I have lived in this district for over 40 years and I have never seen a campaign, from either side, with so much energy. You could not drive a block without seeing an "Underwood" yard sign. The district was flooded with them. This victory was a remarkable achievement in what I would call a red leaning pink Republican district.
I was floored last night when no one, including MSNBC, made mention of it.

I can't figure out why its' being all but ignored.

Her story is alt least as much a newsworthy "longshot"
one as the others they're highlighting.

A well-deserved win for Congresswoman-elect, Ms Underwood

She unseated the four-term MALE incumbent!!!!!

She'll be an invaluable addition to the Dem Congress!!!

Good for you, Lauren!!!

(Saw an interview Election night with her on Rachel's program-- hear, hear!!!)

I'm thrilled by her victory!!
