Tonight Niki Tsongas, probably best known as the widow of the late former US Senator Paul Tsongas, was elected to Congress. If my memory serves (and I'm usually pretty good with political trivia) she'll be only the third woman to ever represent Massachusetts in the US House, the first in a quarter century, and the state's first female Democratic member of Congress.

And yeah, she's now my congresscritter. I'm not actually optimistic, but we'll see.
