"I'd rather shower at Penn State than vote for Obama."
Jesus. Some people.
I'm going to stop trying to decipher my cousin's political views on the basis that he is not old enough yet to vote, and is being raised by crazy people in a cult.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Awake now. Prop 30 passed in CA! Oh, my CA friends, I am SO glad!!
Such a relief. That was huge.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I suppose we should all pick out who we're going to gay-marry now.
I call Nate Silver.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Yay on Prop. 30 passing, Californians!
Also -- SO. TIRED. So very very tired.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is Florida still not called?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Glad to hear prop 30 passed for you CA folks.
I was just kind of tired and numb last night, but the results of the elections finally hit me this morning and I got a little watery-eyed for a moment.
ION, WI kept up its independent streak. We elected the Dems for president and Senate, but our state legislature flipped back to Republican control. Not looking forward to another 2 years of Walker cramming through his agenda.

Looks like that's the case.

It didn't hit me until this morning as well.
I was on the train and I noticed a peculiar sensation in my mouth. Turns out I was smiling. Which seems to be my default for the day. Cool.

Ach, FINALLY watching victory speech. I was so stunned it happened so fast last night, and I was so tired, (up at 4 am!) I went to bed before I could find a video.
NOW I got the tears. Man, I cried at the 08 calling of Obama as winner and all through his speech; I was just so, "OMG REALLY!" grateful last night and tired that I didn't really have the happy-happy, most like disaster-averted adrenalin rush tired.

The Ten Worst Predictions Of The 2012 Election | ThinkProgress
Love this:
4. Peggy Noonan: “There is no denying the Republicans have the passion now.” Noonan is one of the most respected political columnists in the country despite her penchant for deciding things based on her gut rather than actual data. But her Romney prediction wasn’t exactly well thought out even by her own standard. According to Noonan, “all the vibrations [were] right” for a Romney win because “something old was roaring back.” While this might be the right way to open an H.P. Lovecraft novel, it probably isn’t the best way to think about presidential elections.
