I love, love, love that. I love kids of that age … I guess it is because I had two (well, still do, they are in their 30’s now) and when they were 18-29, my house was filled with their friends so I know the kids that age, plus I remember waiting until I was old enough to vote (before they lowered the age to 18); I had to wait til I was 21, so I could not have voted for Robert F. Kennedy if he had lived and I grieved so. The best news of the day for me until the returns this evening with Warren, Kennedy, etc. and hopefully our President, was that the voter turnout on the college campuses was high!
Yes, Bob, and they weren’t supposed to vote, nor were hispanics and AAs. Oh and there was no war on women and Romney was pulling even with PBO on the women’s vote. Sweet, sweet revenge.
Where did the nerves go? And since Mitt has been avoiding the media, you really think he’ll make a concession speech? Maybe he’ll get AnnD to say they didn’t want to govern #youpeople anyway; they ran to help out the party.
This is the Twitter Election. I’m getting all my info from Twitter and here and other websites. On TV I have Classic Arts Showcase. I feel much calmer as a result.
Amen, Bobfr. And a Big Thank You for All of your brilliant and steady work on Twitter for POB. I appreciate you, Bobfr.((((((((((((((((((((((((( Lots of goodness coming into your space))))))))))))))))))))HZ
Populous states that have been called and are expected to go the president’s way when they closed haven’t reported all thier votes. Wait for California to start sending in votes. We’ll win popular vote and electoral college. We’re going to do this thing!
Jovie – don’t want to jinx it but you did it! Love and many, many thanks to you and all those who worked so very hard all over the country to get out the vote. PBO couldn’t have done it without you. Do you think there will be a provisional ballot/overseas ballot delay?
Just got home from my Clerk Duties in Palm Beach County FL. I had a precinct of 1800 voters that went 2 to 1 for President Obama. Too tired right now to tell you all how my experience went so I will just keep reading your blog and tell you all about it tomorrow.
PS. I am in the NEW FL 22 and I got my progressive congresswoman. No Tea Party for me. I had Wexler then he resigned…got Ted Deutch and then was redistricted. Now I have Lois Frankel.
Oh, please God let this be so. This version of the Republican Party has a death wish. It has lost all sense of connection to the real world. To believe that alienating women, Latinos, AAs. youth and all union members is a path to electoral dominance is simply deranged.
Take this shit down now!!! How dare you post this.!!!????!! What are you 10??. It ain’t cute, funny or appropriate. Sorry for the language TODsters, but this is just what’s so wrong about stuff. Chips I’m insulted.

Can’t believe I’m still up for the party – 3.39am. Dimbleby just said: when Faux news becomes pessimistic you know you’re doing badly – if you’re a Repub’ ROFLMAO
Thanks guys for all your hard work – enjoy the party; you’ve earned and deserve it after all you’ve been through over the years. Chips you’re a STAR, hope you get made ambassador to the Caymans!!

Prettyfoot58, I did the same. I needed a little more chill on my wine. HZ
YEAHHHH
yeah, I’m good!!!
Tuesday’s good!
How are you, Chips??!!
The knot in my tummy is easing a little bit, Meta. How are you?
Hang on, Ms Chips, it’s all looking good!
what knot ?
😆 It’s one of Yardarm’s shippy knots, Amk – it’s been in my tummy all day:
Release that knot.
Did you clean up the last thread ? We don’t need that on this day.
Huh? What was in last thread?
Go take a look.
Need a link – I can see angry replies, but not the comment that pissed everyone off. Help?
Too much crap to link here. You can do the clean up later.
Ah, okay, found it.
That whole convo need to be cut out.
Doing my best to keep an eye on it all Amk, not easy tonight.
Yeah, I know. We will clean up later. Right now, it’s time to celebrate,
Good! I’m starting to feel the stress lift!
Eating cake.
Wow you are really good! I can’t eat but I’m good! A bit nervous but good!
Cake!! That’s my Kat!!
These are the kids four years ago that wished they were old enough to vote for Obama, now they are old enough to vote for him, it is a treat for them.
I love, love, love that. I love kids of that age … I guess it is because I had two (well, still do, they are in their 30’s now) and when they were 18-29, my house was filled with their friends so I know the kids that age, plus I remember waiting until I was old enough to vote (before they lowered the age to 18); I had to wait til I was 21, so I could not have voted for Robert F.

Any word on Duckworth?
Up 56-44 with just under 40% counted.
And a bonus is that Biggert is looking to head for a defeat.
YEEEESSSS!
OK … I’ll call it ….
OH SHIT
Sounds good to me, Bob, I’ll take it!
I am up from my nap and feeling hopeful. Thanks for the updates. I will not turn on tv until a win is called for PBO.
So far all is good.
lololol come on in Ceb. The water is fine. 🙂
Yup, my nerves are completely gone. It’s a beautiful night. Looking forward to Romney’s concession speech.
Where did the nerves go? And since Mitt has been avoiding the media, you really think he’ll make a concession speech? Maybe he’ll get AnnD to say they didn’t want to govern #youpeople anyway; they ran to help out the party.
Nerves were replaced by confidence and certainty.
Kewl! As they should be. 😆
I have old sitcom reruns on … just to keep me company. Living here on TOD .. and the living is easy!
Much better now than hour ago!
Sipping sherry here in bed at 4:00 a.m., hubby stayed awake to watch and wait with me, so he has his own glass.

This is the Twitter Election. I’m getting all my info from Twitter and here and other websites. On TV I have Classic Arts Showcase. I feel much calmer as a result.
ok please stop squarepeg. two threads now. let’s just enjoy this night together and move on.
My tv is on Hallmark. 😆 Checking here, kos, twitter and DU.
I don’t want to see anybody’s face on television until it’s my President’s and his lovely wife’s.
my tv isn’t even on…getting all my info from all of you and different sites….awesome way to do an election:)
Can it.
Again, can it.
Squarepeg, please — you’re sounding like a little kid.
Yep, but the last one- I feel that.
the last one was insulting and had no place on this site. I am offended by what was posted as a tweet here.
LL — how’s the wifey?
Much better. 2 more days of meds. But until she can get the picc line out, someone will still have to come to flush it out. damned annoying.
Good luck with all that LL. {{{Hugs to you and wifey}}}
Same here, except on TV I have Halo 4.
Sorry, I’m going to have to ask you to turn in your Elitist Liberal Fascist badge. I’m sure you understand.
Aw, LL. It’s my kid. He’s (almost) 14.
Oh, okay, accommodations must be made for the mini-Uberfemme.
LOL, he’s a really good kid. I couldn’t say no. 🙂
Yes!!!!
Oh yes! ……
yeah baby! The ladies are rockin’ it tonight!!
BEautiful! So happy she is re-elected and will have more women with her!
Claire McCaskill WINS MO senate seat!!!!!!!

Thank you Jesus!!!
HA!! Yippee ~ this is exciting, all these senate races coming through dem.
Yesss. The crazies are falling by the way side. As it should be.
Fantabulous!!!!!!!!
Wasn’t Barney Frank the holder of that title?
Barney Frank was in the House of Reps not Senate.
Dear Chips – love your pictures – the hope is rising fast
And Mitt – there WAS a war on women – and the rich old white men who told you otherwise were WRONG
Amen, Bobfr. And a Big Thank You for All of your brilliant and steady work on Twitter for POB. I appreciate you, Bobfr.((((((((((((((((((((((((( Lots of goodness coming into your space))))))))))))))))))))HZ
THIS! I’m thinking that all those “legitimate rape” men…ought to meet Lorina Bobbitt. SOON!
Roflmao!
ouch! lmao
Awesome!!!
So Dems have a stronger senate majority – very good!! They picked up 3 golden seats.
Now get rid of that effing fillibuster. Ram legislation down the House GOP’s throat.

I did not doubt one bit that President Obama would win this election and I still have no doubt.
i thought wisconsin was called for Obama. CNN not showing it??
No, CNN has been very slow… they just now called Claire McCaskill’s win.
Thanks for the response. MSNBC has it blue?? anyone else showing it for Obama, do you know?

Any news on batshit crazy Bachmann?
Yeah, I am interested too.
Poor Chuckie Toad haz a sad.
PO has too many paths to win with either FL or OH to put him over the top.
Chuckie thought PBO would win all the time – He just forgot to tell you for the past 2 years
PBS reporter interviewing Austen Goolsbee – woo hoo! at PBO HQ …
Palin is a square-jawed dipwad.
YOU were the catastrophic setback you moron! I detest her.
What? Chuck Todd said Mitt Romney is leading in the popular vote? wth?
Populous states that have been called and are expected to go the president’s way when they closed haven’t reported all thier votes. Wait for California to start sending in votes. We’ll win popular vote and electoral college. We’re going to do this thing!
ok. thanks tamia
Had to say something good for Romney – He seems to have forgotten the millions of votes to come from the West Coast – what an AH.
LOL
And, as a newsreporter on msnbc, should chuck todd really have been carry leavy loads of water for mittload?
His evilness is showing.
What is going on in AZ….there was a congressional rac there…can’t remember his name….but how is he doing…
Senate race. Flake (asshole-AZ) and Carmona ( breath of fresh air-AZ) Carmona was leading…..
how wonderful is that….yeahhhhhh….come onnnnnnnn….Carmona

Jovie – don’t want to jinx it but you did it! Love and many, many thanks to you and all those who worked so very hard all over the country to get out the vote. PBO couldn’t have done it without you. Do you think there will be a provisional ballot/overseas ballot delay?
There you are, Jovie! FL is looking good!
We were waiting for you!!
You sure did Jovie. You, your mom and many dedicated people in FL are delivering for Us all. Thanks a Trillion.

Well, I for one am staying up. Hell, I might even watch FOX..hehehe. My condo is clean so feel free to stop by for some Cuban coffee. I have an expresso machine as well.
Now, the key to Cuban coffee is the sugar. Not so much so that you can’t drink it, but definitely in there so that you can taste it.
Took me all of 10 years but I got it mastered for an AA girl….stop by anytime. You’d be impressed.
Stop by when you’re in L.A. My mama makes a mean coffee.
Romney’s campaign won’t answering or returning any calls right about now. Maddow calling it a “lock out” on communications.
