So we all know President Obama won reelection, the Republicans kept control of the House and the Democrats held onto the Senate. Some other winners yesterday:
- Religious diversity. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii will become the first Hindu in Congress. UPDATE: I overlooked this before, but Mazie Hirono will be the first Buddhist senator as well.
- Gender diversity. The new Senate will include a record 19 women--despite the fact that two current female senators (Hutchison and Snowe) did not seek reelection and their seats were won by men.
