I thought I might open a thread for people's thoughts on last night's election. I was tuning in and out throughout the night as I'm sure many others were, although the vote in Texas wasn't all that exciting.
I was interested in the record number of women elected into the senate – and Senator Elizabeth Warren from MA will be interesting to follow.
I heard that people were already tweeting about Hillary 2016, but now I'm wondering about Warren 2016.
Last night, I also heard one state legalized marijuana for the first time and the first openly gay senator was elected.
It was also the first "Twitter" election and apparently a tweet of the victory hug between Barack and Michelle Obama knocked Justin Beiber off the top tweet spot!
Any other interesting tidbits people picked up?

Here in Iowa, the Supreme Court justices who had supported same-sex marriage were targeted by anti-gay activists. The one justice up for retention this year, Justice David Wiggins, who voted for same sex marriage legality in 2009, did win his retention vote.
