we over here need to make sure that we get those new rim county seats and that will require some more major GOTV.

What might help is that there is a gubernatorial election this year too so hopefully that will boost voters. We need to make sure that Wolf gets re-elected.

I went to bed at 12:30 am with 1% still not reported. Lamb was still ahead so I was cautiously optimistic but I had to take something to help me fall asleep.

My deep emotional ties to Pennsylvania made this a "special" election, for me. Most of my family settled in Pennsylvania, after they arrived from Europe. I was stationed in Philadelphia, and still have a deep love for that city.

Ok, time for me to make something tasty for breakie.

But I still won't really breathe easy until the word 'apparent' is removed from in front of the word winner.
