I'm in Massachusetts and I was riveted by Wendy Davis' filibuster. I spent all of last night following it, and we had a special election here to fill the Senate seat vacated by John Kerry when he was appointed Secretary of State.
I had tears in my eyes the whole time. I'm about as liberal as they come and I'll admit that there have been times where I've been angered and frustrated by the politics there, but last night I almost jumped up on my couch and shouted "TEXAS FOREVER!" (no lie, the impulse was so strong I had to remind myself that it was one o'clock in the morning and my neighbors were asleep.)
