The other nail biting race for me

[The Genealogist]

My state Missouri state house rep, a Republican, is behind the Democrat by 34 votes. Looks like this will be a recount. I'll be glad to have a Democrat representing me!

1. My state rep lost by 200.

She was a great Democrat. 200 out of over 20,000. I had volunteered some hours for her campaign, too. Sucks to lose when it is that close.

2. having a Dem as a rep is truly a wonderful thing.

3. If I lived 1200 feet to the west, I would already have a Dem rep

I can see a blue district from my house!

7. Milk Nazi

Imagining a man in all white with a swastika arm band. Sounds like total asshole, just from that nickname.

8. he is. has run for several things.

breaks my heart, really. his name is oberweis. owns a chain of dairies and ice creams shops.
i grew up down the street from the first store. all the kids in town went to their farm in 1st grade.
ice cream is sooooo good. we used to get milk, etc delivered when i was a kid. they sell great fruit juices, too.
didnt have the box on the porch, cuz the guy just walked in the house and put it in the fridge.

so, yeah. aint ever getting another penny from me.
but makes me sad. used to be the whole family, but now it is just him, afaik.
prolly killed them all off.
