From the daily record:

GOP wins Long Hill council seats

Were you happy with the results?

I was really happy that here in PA both Bob Casey and Jason Altmire beat out their Republican incumbents. I just think that a split in power is better for our country!

I hadn't made up my mind who to vote for right up until election day. I liked a little bit of what everybody had to say, and there was nobody whose position frightened me, which was good, LOL!

I think I would have been happy whatever the outcome.

Nationally, I agree with you - it's nice to see things balanced.
