Hey, I have a midwest accent?

I guess that makes sense since I've lived in the midwest for 29 years.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

The Northeast
The South
The Midland
Philadelphia
North Central
The West

So yesterday...

So yesterday I was part of the Democrat's Got The Vote Operation. I was basically a taxi service picking up people without cars and dropping them off at the polls and at home. It was a busy day in the morning. In the afternoon, it slowed down a lot until after 5pm. So I go home and watch the news (aka the Daily Show) and go to bed when I hear that we won the House.

So I'm happy and then I wake up and hear that we may have the Senate as well. Then later today that called it and we won both Houses back! Not only that but we won 6 governments and 10 state houses. We now have 28 governors and most of the state houses. This is important for 2010 when the party in charge of those states determine the voting districts.

Jill at Feministe has the best election round-up I'm seen today. As an aside, the Republicans did something that has never ever happened before. They didn't win one open seat or pickup any Democratic seat at any the state or federal level of government. So congrates to them on that!

Finally, all day I've had this song in my head. Seems very appropriate.
