I'm surprised Kinzinger won.

Kinzinger was one of the few Republicans to be more anti-Gaddafi than anti-Obama, so I supported him. Good.

Didn't know he was more palatable than Manzullo, but in that case, good.

Upon a little research, I see that Gladys Knight also has converted to Mormonism. That equals three black Mormons I know of (the third being that guy in Mali.)

There's also basketball player Thurl Bailey who played at N.C. State (my alma mater) and the Utah Jazz.

Wonder if Love's race will work against her in the general. In any case, she'd also be the first black female Republican in Congress ever.

Disappointing (but not surprising) that amendment one will pass in NC.

As for Lugar, did he win any counties?

Nebraska results. Currently 40-35 for Bruning. Interestingly, Fischer is winning Douglas County (Omaha). Bruning is winning most other places, though.

Now Fischer is winning, but Bruning is carrying Douglas.

With 39% precincts in, North Dakota's deceptive "religious freedom" amendment, that among other things could allow a man to beat his wife and children if his religious beliefs say so, is losing 62%-38%.

I think Salmon held (essentially) that seat before Flake did.
