Infinitive Splitter

Way back in May, I wrote that Pennsylvania’s Primary Election Day had been “a good day for right-wing bedwetters in my parents’ neighborhood,” thanks to child candidate Mark Harris’ victory over an incumbent Republican state representative. Not surprisingly, especially in Democrat-friendly 2006 and extra-especially in a district that has been trending Democratic for years, young Mark lost on November 2 and the seat flipped to the Democrats.

The icing on the cake came today, when election officials in another county certified razor-thin Democratic victories in two final races, meaning the next legislative session will feature 102 Democrats and 101 Republicans.

Couldn’t have done it without you, Mark. Thanks.
