I thought it appropriate on election day to repeat one of my favorite
equations for happiness--a stoic flowchart that comes via Mark
Fraenfelder of BoingBoing and the Rootsimple blog. At the end of the day, about half of America
will be happy, and half will be dismayed. All we can do is remember
that beyond voting, we cannot control the outcome of the election. So a
stoic would advise us to not to rail against what we cannot change or
affect, but to focus on what we can change--ourselves, and our immediate environment: our household, our block, our school district, our city.I'm happy to say that i got out and did my civic duty last night. After school I traveled south to clintion county to get the word out to VOTE. Senator Todd Bowman and I drove around and talked to folks about Rita Hart and out hope that the Iowa Senate Democrats could reach a majority after this election with a Republican Governor here in Iowa. Checks and balance are key in a democracy.
You've been listening to the politicians for over a year. Now its your time to be heard
And here are the election results. Newcomer Rita Hart, 56, a
Democrat from Wheatland, Iowa, defeated Andrew Naeve, 28, a Republican from Andover, Iowa, who made his second try for the Senate.
With all precincts reporting, Hart had 17,290 votes to Naeve’s 14,383, according to unofficial results.
