Yeah, the moment I posted, a friend pinged me to say that McCain was conceding so I went ahead and texted.
WOO MOTHERFUCKING HOO.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I wish the popular vote showed more of a mandate. I wish I lived in a place that was celebrating.
