Wonderful! With a side of schadenfreude after Wendy Davis’ rightful loss.
@KonniBurton have you won yet? I want to have a twittergasm?

She’s well on her way.
In Ft. Worth's open SD 10, Konni Burton (R) still leads Libby Willis (D), others, with 51% of vote & about 11% of precincts counted so far.

Wendy Davis lost tonight, and the other sweet victory is that her Texas Senate seat was taken by a female tea partier

A wonderful Tea party woman @KonniBurton takes Wendy Davis' seat as she goes down in flames in Gov race. It's a good night.

That would be a good night indeed.
