Bwah! Republicans are calling for Obama to fill his cabinet with stalwart Republicans.
Where can that even be coming from? (Aside from desperation.)
You lose. You're out. You're out because you fucked up the country.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Not just Republicans, sadly. It looks like several of the Democratic Leadership Council folks are also telling Obama he needs to reach out across the aisle for his cabinet. Those would be the same folks who have been driving the Democratic Party rightward for the last several decades. Yo - STFU!!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, because Republicans put a lot of Democrats into the cabinet, didn't they?
It's like how some Republicans are all of a sudden concerned about increasing the size of government, or the dangers of one party controlling both the presidency and Congress.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My polling place is at the fairgrounds in Southern Maryland, about 40 minutes from Washington, D.C. This used to be tobacco country, but is slowly being developed, or other crops are grown. We waited until 10:00 to vote, to avoid the lines. When we got there a 97-year-old Black man was being wheeled out of the polls in his wheelchair. It was the first time he had ever voted in his life. When he came outside he asked if anyone could give him an Obama button. There were none left at the Democrat's booth so I gave him mine. He was so proud and I started crying. He looked at me and said, "why are you crying? this is a day for glory." I am still crying.

A voting story of a young person from Virginia (on Sullivan) - here's my favorite part:
The exit had a small huddle of college kids offering terrorist fist-bumps and a thanks to everyone as they left. I'd held the door for an older woman to leave in front of me. Glad I did as I got to watch her reaction to the excitement. She couldn't stop giggling at them as she mastered the bump.

From the AP: Both parties expect Democratic Senate pickups
Democrats were optimistic that the only two Democratic senators who will lose their Senate seats as a result of the national elections will be Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Heh.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Senate - I think that 57 seats is likely, but 60 is a possibility. I am very curious to see how the Alaskan Senate race goes - Uncle Ted might still be able to squeak by, but he might not. That's quite possibly where the 60th Dem seat will come from.
Not matter what, AK will go for McCain. Of course.
