I'm so glad for us, not just us but the Nation and the world.
Now I'm going to go to bed and cuddle my bride of 4 years today, with a light heart and a smile as large as the Grand Canyon.

Aww Happy Anniversary, Corkey :) So glad your day wasn't marred by a different result.

I couldn't not look anymore. I couldn't sleep. I got up, and turned on the computer just in time to catch the news that Romney accepted defeat.

Great job, Maine and Maryland. We won't know Washington and Minnesota until later.

So glad to see the "legitimate rape" and "god's will rape pregnancy" people lose.

So glad to say 4 more years.

West Virginia elects its first openly gay legislator.

Massachusetts elects its first female senator.

Also elected to the US Senate for the first time, tonight: A gay woman, an Asian-American woman and a disabled woman.

And, the first openly pansexual legislator, Mary Gonzalez from Texas.

A record voter turnout in most states.

Now to try and fall back asleep...

:watereyes: <=== I love that guy and his wife.
Genuine and you can feel it.

"no matter what we look like , we will all be able to succeed and thrive"

Two elections in a row that got me all emotional.

Thank you Medusa for texting me updates while I was
at work.
When I left the house it was Romney 33 Obama 3 , so
I was freaking out.

98% of my family voted for the binder guy.

Washington gay marriage Yes! Washington medical weed yes!
What an awesome night.

A friend in DC who works legislative advocacy just posted on FB that MN is counting at 84% and only 48% yes votes so he does not think that they will have enough yes votes to pass the amendment.

Looks like MN is going to beat this thing after all.

Hopefully this will be the end of states trying to block marriage equality by changing the state constitution. It is not working from coast to coast.

Word.

And the fact that he's a PoC makes it all so much sweeter.

So very happy for you all.

It has been announced that both Washington and Minnesota are victorius as well! The Marriage Amendment in MN was struck down and same-sex marriage is now legal in Washington!!!!!

Wow, America sure dodged a bullet tonight! Four more years for the President who actually cares about the people of our nation and the world! Way to go, America!!

I agree! He's the only President in my lifetime who I believe truly cares about the people...ALL people.

Now if Congress will get with the program and follow suit. They're in Washington to represent the people not the money; not the special interests.

Just woke up. Is it really real? They didn't steal the election did they?

You can stop pinching yourself!
Obama finished up with 97 more electoral votes than Romney. Unless there were more mass troubles with voting booths than we were made aware of, there isn't anything I can see that would warrant a re-count on this one.

girl_dee 11-07-2012 05:38 AM

Whew!!!

Was just watching his acceptance speech.

"the election four years ago wasn't about me, it was about you"

Miss Scarlett 11-07-2012 05:40 AM

Call me cynical but I have an uneasy feeling that something slimy is in the works. After the 2008 election the US House Districts here in NC were redrawn to bring more Republicans into predominately Democratic districts to water them down enough so more Republicans will be elected.
