Liveblogging Excitement From 'Inquirer'

112806count.jpg
Another day, another Inquirer blog. Their newest -- and shortest-lived, it seems -- blog is The Count in Chester County, which began yesterday as a way to chronicle, uh, the re-count in Chester County. It's written by political reporter Carrie Budoff.

Please try to contain your excitement.

Beginning Monday, the 156th district was led by Republican Shannon Royer. But with the vote now official -- when something's liveblogged, it's official -- Democrat Barbara McIlvaine is the state's newest elected official. This flips control of the House from red to blue and, as Budoff helpfully noted, "The whole Republican crew immediately bolted from the building."

To recap: The state house is now Democratic (barely) and the Inquirer doesn't have to launch a new blog again for 15 days.
