I'm thrilled by Elizabeth Warren, Tim Kaine, and Barack Obama's win.

I'm heartbroken about my own election. I only got 40 votes out of 901 cast. I feel like I've wasted my money. And yet, I think I did the right thing by running. I'm tired and going to bed now. I'm not crying. I'm just sad.

You get major props for running.

I'm sorry to hear about your own election results. I know it's hard because you really care so much about your home city. You were right to run. *hugs*

{{{hugs}}} I think you did the right thing. You were able to put your opinions and ideas into the mix. I'm very proud of you for giving it a shot.

Sorry you didn't win, and hope you feel better.

Hon, you got forty-four percent on a write-in campaign. Would that all our failures were so impressive.

I feel like I've wasted my money.

I can hear your mother from here.

What's the term of the office?

[fabrisse.livejournal.com]

I got 40 votes. Not percent.

Oddly enough, Mom said she didn't feel like it was a waste and that she was proud of me for trying.
Go Mom.

And the term is two years.

Thank you.

I've already had people asking me about my "comeback."

Thank you for the hugs.

I'd have kicked myself if I hadn't run, but damn, I need hugs right now.

Thank you so much.

Ah, when I replied, I had read the OP to say 40/90. 40/901 is, alas, less commanding. :(

Good on your mom.

So, two years: Your campaign this year will help keep your name in people's minds for your next campaign if you choose to run again. Every bit helps.

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. Lots of love.

[fabrisse.livejournal.com]

And to you, too.
