Wisconsin [THAT'S WHERE I LIVE! 8D] elected the first openly-gay senator to term tonight in the form of Democrat Tammy Baldwin.

She's also the first woman senator from Wisconsin, too.
It's worth noting that former Gov. Tommy Thompson [what a name] served under the Bush Administration as secretary of Health and Human Services [yeah good job on that, by the way...] and was a touted pick and highly supported by Tea Party-affiliated state governor Scott Walker.
Unfortunately for me, democrats lost the state senate majority, leaving Wisconsin entirely in majority republican control under a tea party state governor. I expect nothing good to come from this. :/
