"Lieberman Loses"
what a great headline this morning. love it!
also, from kansas city, the first open-lesbian just won the democratic primary in a democratic city from the city for the state senate-- the first time an open-lesbian will be in the state senate of missouri. what a great turn of events! check out this piece from the kansas city star: Never estimate the power of a well-organized, committed voting bloc. Jolie Justus turned in a powerhouse performance, winning by 3 points in the highly competitive 10th District state Senate race over Jason Klumb. Justus' bloc: The Kansas City gay community that turned out in droves for their candidate. what amazing words and a change in the body politic of missouri!

I went to college with Jason and he was a legislator in MO when I worked for PP. He's a great guy--pretty progressive. What a tough race.
yeah, i was torn in the race too. i love jason klumb. he's a great guy. and i think he was expected to win. it's rather surprising he didn't. and i'm sad he lost. but it's very exciting in general to have an open-lesbian win a state senate seat in missouri.
