So Mr. Speaker7 won his local election.
I think my elation can be best summed up in a series of gifs:
You can’t top Van Damme’s dance moves.
Thanks to all everyone’s kind wishes. Now comes the part with the governing and shit.
Speaker7, who is now an official politician’s wife bitches!!!!, is writing a post every day as part of the Nano Poblano Team. She would like you to vote for less days in November.
Speaker7 
Congrats to Mr. Speaker7!! So as a politician’s wife, what’s your platform? Healthy food for everyone, like the First Lady? Burning all copies of 50 Shades?
Thank you for a post idea, Rachel. I imagine Hugo will have his own platform as First Half-Man Puppet.
Yaaaaaaa! I backed the right horse for once. How wide a margin was your victory? (I was going to say “his” victory but you’re in this together.) The Good Wife minus the sex and corruption. heh.
He was the top vote-getter, which was pretty sweet. He’s got political capitol so maybe he’ll start a war with a neighboring village or something.
That is hilarious Speaker 7. As the wife of a politician now you can also claim you are one too.
I’m working on the right helmet hairstyle.
Congrats! My best for the both of you!
Thanks! It will be four years of pancake breakfasts.
Good for him! I don’t even bother voting in our local elections cause it’s just Republicans running. The Democrats are like, pfft, why even bother?
I think it’s high time you started a write-in campaign for sad pony.
Wahoooooo! Congrats to Mr. Speaker! Did he don his sexy black tank top to celebrate, too?
(and thanks for the Troy and Abed dance moves, totally made my morning)
He has been studying Van Damme’s moves to get it just perfect.
Well, Congratulations to you and your Mr. Politics. I would really like to see that Van Dam dance used more often. What else can you celebrate?
I’m trying to see how I can include that gif in all posts from now on.
I would be forever in your debt.
Congratulations and hooray! I do have one important question: How does Hugo feel about being the half-puppet behind the woman behind the man?
Hooray to all members of your family, great and strange! 😉
I’m sure Hugo has much to say, but he’s been gone most of the day lurking at polling places.
Yay!! Great to hear!
Yes, we were super excited and now, the day after, super tired.
That is GREAT!!!!! Can we meet for lunch/coffee when you come down here to throw him under the bus?
Hellz yeah!
Congrats!
I nearly did that Van Damme dance when the results came in.
I’d bet money that “nearly” equals “rocked it.”
Thumbs up….Ayeeeee.
Thumbs up in in the Donald Glover style.
Awesome awesome awesome – I’m so psyched for you guys!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I will admit that I did a little hopping up and down when the results came in…completely unlike myself.
How much fun did you have compiling this post?
P.S. – I’ll tell you what’s up what that: Your hub’s approval rating! CONGRATS!!
I could watch Jean-Claude dance forever. Why had I never seen this before? What movie is it from?!?!?!
Is it just me, or does the yellow power ranger (or whatever she is) look like she’s having explosive diarrhea?
Big congrats to your husband!!
That is completely why I picked that power ranger gif.
Congratulations!
Danke, viele danke.
Congrats! I have to say that all those gifs made me smile. Made my day. thank you.
I need to use gifs more often. They’re way easier at expressing emotions than actually writing or saying something.
Best post ever. Congrats!
It’s Van Damme in a tank top that makes you say this, right?
Maybe?
YAY! Congrats to the Mr.! 🙂
He is almost as excited as Honey Boo Boo is in that gif.
That’s pretty great!
First our city…next the world!!!
This is big, really really big! I’m curious what you guys are going to do with all the left over yard signs. I think I feel a found-object-interpretive-art/dance project coming on.
I wish. They all just disappeared. Mr. Speaker7 doesn’t even know where they all went.
Congrats!
Thanks!
Hilarious! Glad I discovered your blog!
I’m jealous that your last name rhymes with vain.
I need something going for me as my first name is Eilidh, which is problematic at the best of times. I have cruel Scottish parents. PS it’s pronounced A-lee.
Congrats to your baby daddy! Now is the time for you guys to become swingers, and start a scandal that will rock your local community.
Van Damme’s dancing is equal parts awful and wonderful.
I appoint you as my official First Lady advisor.
That’s terrific! I like the David Byrne interpretive dance. Was that what you were doing next to Mr. Speaker 7 when he delivered his victory speech?
Congrats to Mr. S7. Love the gifs!
