The AP is calling North Carolina for Obama, and Oregon for Merkley.
Yep, MSNBC is calling NC for Obama, too. Yay!
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
O'Hare to Hyde Park? Eep. I'd say get a new Air Force 1.
Maybe they could stick an aircraft carrier in Lake Michigan for him to fly to....

And the AP is reporting that Rahm has accepted the position of COS.
I don't know much about Rahm is this a yay?

A Boeing 787 Dreamliner would work pretty well.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Screw that. Starfleet Shuttlecraft.

Dollars to doughnuts Sorkin thinks it is. To go all fannish, reality just totally Kripked him.
If nothing else, Rahm Emanuel means things are gonna get done.

When I was watching the Grant Park festivities on Tuesday night, I thought that this will help Chicago's bid for the Olympics in 2016, and I read yesterday in the Tribune that I wasn't the only one thinking that. If Obama wants to, he can definitely add cache and a lot of pow-factor to the bid, as did other heads of state.

Trust my rage
but I don't see Michelle calling everybody to the table at six every night, you know?
Really, I totally see her doing this. I've heard that keeping the family together is super important to her and that she exacted some promises to that effect from her husband before he ran. Not that stuff won't get in the way, but I actually do kind of see her calling him at 5:55 and telling him he has 5 minutes to finish whatever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I would imagine there are many days when stopping work for a half hour in the evening is just fine, even for the President. Especially when you work from home!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I don't know much about Rahm is this a yay?
He knows Washington, he's a talented Congress-wrangler, he's also a partisan pick. I just read an article over at cqpolitics arguing he isn't Change-y enough. I tend to disagree. I think there are gains to be made in looking like a magnanimous winner, but this is after all a Democratic administration, and most importantly, Obama will be working with a Democratic Congress. You want someone in the CoS role, I would think, who has a proven track record with said Congress.
