We’ll also be retweeting the best stuff (and twitpics/videos) from @jxnfreepress and @jfppolitics — and posting news on the site from mission control as returns come in. We’d also love to hear what you have to say about the elections. For now, read tons of candidate interviews at http://www.jfppolitics.com
