Haha, the idea of a soggy, private-citizen Scott Walker dragging himself out of a lake has made me happy.
Minnesota's done pretty well for itself! Kept our DFL senators, first and/or second Muslim woman (also the first Somali-American) in Congress, I'm so relieved we'll have a Democratic governor (even though I'm not sure he'll be as good as Dayton) and we've flipped the Minnesota House blue too, which should really help; one thing I've learned is that a good state government is a nice buffer against the worst of this federal government.
