Is Florida still not called?

Looks like that's the case.

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.

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.

Oh, BWAH! Lovecraft. Hee.

Still chuckling....

Victor posted this on FB, and it is making me laugh FOREVER:

Political blog quote of the night goes to Ta-Nehisi Coates: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their bloggers."

Haven't read this yet, but sounds fun:

Ohio Republicans: Watching Buckeye State conservatives learn that Mitt Romney lost. - Slate Magazine

I am trying not to smile ridiculously, but I did go high five the other out and oroud liberal in my department. Good Times.

YAY CA!! Oh I hope this is a step out of your economic nightmare.

And YAY marriage equality.

So a really conservative relative has "May God have mercy on our country" on her facebook today.

I kind of want to say something but I'm not even sure I should try.

I think she just did.
