I demand a recount

Move that decimal point!

OK, it wasn't good but this wasn't absolutely aweful. Just shy of 9% for Pennacchio, who was a huge underdog and up against all sorts of odds and chronically short of cash...certainly we'd have liked more...but we'll take this for now. No matter. What's important now is,

We. Must. Defeat. Santorum.

Tonight's other highlights:

--Larry Farnese, though it doesn't look like he won, must have really rattled Babette Joseph's cage. Maybe she'll actually consider trying to get something done in Harrisburg these next few years. She might even consider answering a couple of e-mails from her constituents from time to time.

--Patrick Murphy, who we hosted at our humble home, kicked ass in his primary. Undoubtedly because our phone was used for his national radio debut. Pat, you owe us. We still have your notes and can sell them on eBay for $$$ when you become the next speaker of the House. Speaking of speaking...

And remember to pack a sweater.
