I looked through that site of Romney's supporters and campaign workers mourning and I do feel sorry for them. I think they chose wrongly, but my heart goes out to them for being so sad and distraught. And I heard about the staff credit cards being cut off - that's just tacky. Also petty and mean; I'm assuming no one thought through what it was going to mean for people trying to get home afterwards - hope no one needed to take a plane home from the campaign - but it seems of a whole with the inability to think through what something means to people who don't have a lot of money to fall back on. Or even enough cash on hand for a cab ride.

I just signed up as many times as I could for the lottery for inauguration tickets. And then I signed up my husband under our other address.

Our wings are not tired.
Boehner and McConnell refused to take the President's call on Election Night.
The level of disrespect is unfathomable. Who else on the planet would do this other than Republican members of congress?
And that there are still stories about how shocked, shocked! the Romney campaign is that they lost. I'm still enjoying those.
It leaves me momentarily guilty how much I am enjoying it. Will they actually learn anything, or just play the blame game forever?

Uh, are you allowed to do that? I don't think President Bartlett would let them do that.
Heh, Dana....
I don't think I've ever looked up my number before! I must have been grey on the WhatsMa#! sessions...
I DO feel empathy for a lot of Republicans emotional response; I remember being fucking DEVASTATED by W's wins (even though I am STILL pissed about "Win" #1) but I am NOT sorry that Obama won, because I think Romney/Ryan were factually, research-based horrifying candidates for any even mildly moderate person to contemplate. Mod Repub OR Dem.
This is not to say I am entirely gloat-free. I am SO not that good a person. I restricted myself to 1 REALLY funny sic on FB about the electionin general.
(But I will post as many HELL YEAH MARRIAGE EQUALITY pics as I wish, because I don't feel badly about people who are against it at all. That goes completely against my beliefs and I don't care whose delicate baby feelings get hurt.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'm number 6.
I am not a number, I am a free - oh wait, I'm number 20.

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.
My number is up there, but I'm always surprised to discover my number is lower than some people who in my head space have been here "forever".
(I'm number 6.)
So you're secretly Number 1?
Boehner and McConnell refused to take the President's call on Election Night.
The lack of respect and hypocrisy from the modern Republican party appalls me. Their Presidents should always be shown utmost respect and followed without question by everyone, but they always treat Democratic Presidents as usurpers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
On the credit card thing, I'm sure it was months ago that someone decided that campaign expenses needed to stop as of the election, which meant November 6, so auto-cancelled the cards as of 11/6. But of course people were leaving the event after midnight. I don't know, it just seems like the kind of thing that made sense at the time.

That's the kind of short-sightedness that makes me even happier team Romney lost. If you can't even look ahead at possible events for your own people, I don't want you running the country (not that I would want them if they hadn't done that).

Yeah, but it's not like it was everyone's first time running a campaign. They had to know the expenses don't just stop as soon as the polls close.
