I got a good night sleep and I'm feeling more tired than I did last night. Go figure. Sort of vaguely pretending to help out cleaning out and shutting down the office. We won our county (Buchanan), rather unexpextedly by a few dozen votes, the state folks were hoping we'd limit the loss to about a thousand votes. Our region was the best in MO in doing the GOTV stuff - we beat out what should have been easy vol recruitment Dem areas like St. Louis and KC. Unfortunately it looks like we probably lost MO.

The initial big party was rather bleh - bad place, way too many people who never could be bothered to help out. But after two hours we retreated to the nice law office reception area at our party office and that was a lot of fun. Amazing how many people were crying. It was great. See you.

Congratulations on the good work.

That is the great reward - what happened in the office later.

Many people have never experienced that buzz that you get from putting yourself totally into something...and succeeding. It is one of the best drugs around - a potent cocktail of uppers, downers and sidewaysers.

And, as I keep flogging the dead horse here, biokemikal is where it at.

You fooools! Will you never understand?
