Let's get drunk, light off fireworks and make love!
They just called Florida for Obama!!!
I'm still thinking about Montambo's post 214. I'd do two out of three.
Jesse Jackson is crying on CNN...oh, here comes McCain! He's about to speak.
McCain's giving his concession speech.
CONCESSION.McCain's being classy. His audience
McCain is trying to speak with some class...he deserves some credit...at least so far...the jackasses booing in the crowd need an ass-whooping.
Jesse Jackson just made me lose it.
I'm still teary over Jesse Jackson...
Man, does tomorrow feel like it's going to be a NEW fucking day or WHAT?!
McCain's doing great. I wish the crowd would shut the fuck up.
I'm impressed by McCain's speech. Too bad about the crowd.
I agree, Gary...it almost feels unreal.
Watching the concession kinda brings back whatever appreciation I had for McCain years ago butlost during the course of this campaign (not to mention his choices in the Senate over the past 8 years...)But his crowd sucks.

I wonder if McCain is feeling a little relieved to be free of the party mechanisms, and get back to being his own man again?

I'm wired...going to do the elliptical while I watch the speech...back in a bit.
heh, betchu didn't see yourself as a jock when you were a teenager ;) you're a jock now.
NBC just called Nevada for Obama.Obama 338, and counting...
Heh. Not a jock...the elliptical and I in the living room...I'm thinking of how to explain the importance of this election to my kids tomorrow...they wanted to stay up...
Obama's at 51-48 in the popular vote with 65% of the returns in...
You know, it kind of sucks if you're in Alaska and haven't voted yet...
You were being careful in a measure of self-preservation, Dave. I had McCain winning until they called it. I was scared!!!!!!!! I wish I could go swimming in warm water. I am SO TENSE!
RA - Jake is bouncing off the walls. Now he's making a map with all the states and which way they went, for homework.I can't believe it's over so soon. I thought it was going to be a loooong night.
RA, that usually happens to Oregon. It's usually always called before they get to us.
Woo-hoo! The Sizemore measures went down in Oregon. He's a punkass who hates teachers and wants our kids to fail! I LOVE ELECTION DAY!!!!!

I didn't want to jinx it by saying anything too early. The polls seemed to indicate an Obama win, but we've all been fooled by polls before!
Can't wait to get my shirt! (YES, my bleeding heart just donated more money to the DNC...)
You know, I'm a mental case. I allow myself a few minutes of joy, until I find something to worry and agonize about.Assassination...
No!!! Don't go there, Lori! Just enjoy it, and save the worrying for tomorrow. Got any booze in the house?
Actually I do.....I don't drink.
But I may tonight! Excellent EXCELLENT idea.
WTF is wrong with you?!If you're worried about that now... you need to even out. Personally I think those Secret Service guys are nuts... they take their jobs pretty damn seriously and really will jump in front of a bullet for their President. And this is not 1963.
Okay, I've just poured myself a little glass of Cointreau, and the new First Family has just taken the stage!!! Aww, so cute!
man, he's got charisma just walking out on the freakin stage. Pepaw definitely doesn't have THAT.
Man...not only am I proud to be an American tonight, I'm proud to be from Chicago, Illinois...Hello, Chicago, indeed...
Good night, everybody. I'm going to take a shower and try to get some sleep so I can get up early and talk with kids. I want them to know they live in a great country...I want them to remember this day...I want to make sure they grow up with faith in their homeland. They deserve it.
Heh. I feel sorry for all the wait staff at Dennys and IHOP's anywhere near that park in Chicago.At least the customers will be in a good mood...
Good night, RA! Sweet dreams!I still have a governorship that needs to be decided.
Good night, Jacks! And everybody else! Good luck with your local races and your alcohol:)
I just got a phone call from friends:
"Come celebrate with us!"
"Nah, I gotta work tomorrow."
"IT'S THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!"
"I know, but I have something every night this week and I--"
"IT'S THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!"
So I guess I'm going out celebrating!

Have fun, Sarah! Try not to smoke!
OMGOMGOMG!!!!!I am weeping!!!!
The United States of America has a Black President!!!!!
Oh, my gawd, the joy!!!!!
(Obviously I stayed up and heard the news! Actually I was driving around trying to relieve tension and a friend called.)
OMGOMGOMG!!!!!
