12. Nice to have a rep again

and I sure am glad it's not Cornholio

Have to say, I had some doubts leading up to it, seemed like most of her campaign was TV ads which I find less reassuring generally than yardsigns and door-to-door activities, but there were plenty of GOTV phone calls and it looks like she won easily. I guess the disturbance in the force I sensed turned out to be indigestion.

Cornholio's campaign had lots of huge-ass yardsigns all over the place, but most of the ones I saw were pitched in abandoned commercial properties and vacant lots. Perhaps that sent the wrong message?
