Do I read an implication that there was someone running for something in your state that didn't run any negative ads? They seemed to be the order of the day for all comers in the elections for national office here in Iowa. (I'm not sure how to evaluate the governer's race, since I don't think I ever saw *any* ads for the Democrat or Libertarian candidates. Somehow it felt like Jack Hatch never really had his heart in it from the beginning, but it could just be that my exposure was limited.)
Would it qualify as smugness for me to say that most of the people I voted for won too? Though it looks like Gronstal will continue to be the Iowa senate majority leader(/king), which might have given me more pleasure than a lot of the national results, and that's one that didn't happen.
Also, the official election results page for Iowa is giving me that "I'm living in the future" feeling. I'll probably throw out random comments on elections local to no one but me (if that) at some point.
