28. Montgomery County, PA - got control of the County Commissioners

First time in memory. :woohoo:

[meow2u3]

30. Northampton County, PA results

The Easton-Bethlehem area, with its farms galore, is a heavily Republican part of the state. Despite low turnout, Democrats swept all four seats on the county council. Repukes still hold the majority, but now it's 5-4--Dems picked up 3 seats!

Damn good for a low-turnout local election, in a rural area of all places, if you ask me.

[masmdu]

31. Greensboro, NC Tea Party Sympathizers/ Repub. majority TOSSED OUT . Dems take City Council 8 to 1

Not to gloat, but....Sorry teabaggers take it somewhere else GREENSBORO AIN'T BUYING!!

[masmdu]
