Election Day

So, Tuesday wes Election Night here in Virginia. I know most states didn't have any major races, but we did. Every state represenative seat was up and several local seats were being contested. As expected, the Democrats pretty much cleaned up. I had the pleasure, of hanging with the Democrats at their victory party headquarters. It was a long day and night, since several glitches in Fairfax County kept the results from being posted for most races until almost midnight. Here are a few pics.




This is Chap Petersen, one of the newly elected members of the state senate. He has a huge family and I think they were all their wearing avariety of clothing with his name. He even took his shoes off at one time and showed them to everybody to prove how much he had walked around to get votes. He's new, but he is already pulling thesame old political antics.


This is Gerry Connelly, the Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and had just won re-election. He is the ultimate politician. Shaking hands, kissing babies and telling jokes is what he does best.
