OK, I missed everyone calling the election because I was on a bus. I just watched the Obama speech and cried through the entire thing. I think I'm having some kind of political-joy-meltdown.
My (New Zealander) aunt was married to an African-American guy (she's widowed now). She just called us to say that she rang her in-laws in North Carolina, and they said they thought they'd never see this day. :)

Texas for McCain. And Louisiana had already gone that way. Commiserations, Danielle.
Well, that's expected... sigh. But I'd be pretty stoked if Obama made significant gains percentage-wise for the Dems in either of those two states, and it looks like he might.
I have some very excited friends in the DC commuter belt in Virginia. Go blue, Virginia! Go blue!

Now is the time
Don, dude. If you start breaking out the Dr King clips without warning like that, I will *lose it*. In front of god and everybody. :) <sniffle>

I have to go on an enquiry desk for 1.5 hours at 3.30, just as I'm starting to get really, really teary-eyed about how symbolically awesome this is (and I'm not even playing that Sam Cooke song). Great, that's all the students need: a crazed, crying librarian. 'May I help you?'

For one brief, shining moment on the NY Times front page, Texas is blue. Thank you, Austin and Houston.

I'm not watching TV, so my life is hologram-free (boo!). I'm refreshing the fuck out of about 10 different Chrome tabs, though...

Don't you people have, I dunno, jobs?
Sssshhhhh, Kyle. Don't give us away to The Man!

So that's what Barney Miller is up to these days.
I say Fish would vote Obama.

I want the bigots to be comprehensively pwned on Prop 8, not just pipped at the post. But I'm worried.
I say the electoral college will break 350.

And it looks like it's going to be a long day of teh stupid on The Herald's Your Views.
Someone just used 'coloured' to describe Obama. I despair. How am I sharing a country with these people?
Diddy may be kind of a douche, but I'm moved by that quote. (The civil rights movement routinely turns me into a blubbering wreck anyway. It's Pavlovian: play Sam Cooke's 'A Change is Gonna Come' to me and watch the waterworks appear!)
