...so MSNBC calls PA and slew of other states for Obama; I cannot enjoy this moment because my Dad was on the phone asking for computer help. ARGH

I have seriously got to stop answering my telephone.

BREAKING NEWS! - CNN CALLS MINNESOTA FOR OBAMA WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF THE POLLS CLOSING - BREAKING NEWS!

i was enjoying the fakeout drama they were trying to pull about "Minnesota potentially still up for grabs oh no wait syke duh of course losers"

I had a hard time imagining Minnesota going Republican this year of all years after not doing so since 1972...

So yeah, I am pleased with how fast we were called.

Still waiting for more states to be called for Obama before I feel even remotely satisfied, though.

Okay, so Ohio being called for Obama = me at least remotely satisfied.

haha yeah i saw mccain 0% Obama 0% - we call Obama!

Just flip a coin, it's statistically relevant!

You guys!!! Hastings constituency: I love you guys!

hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa yes btw

i am v v happy for you, my surrogate country. but i am sad that prop will most likely go thru and poor gayz will get no more marriage :(

on a brighter note, MN looks like it is going to vote in a constitutional amendment that establishes a .75% addition to state wide sales tax that can only be spent on the environment and the arts!!!

for the next 35 years. not revokable.

oops that is supposed to read 'prop 8'

i love my state v v much tonight. (i am choosing to ignore this whole michelle bachmann problem.)

I love Minnesota sooooooo much, and also the USA returning to sanity.

!!!!!!!

Is Prop. 8 really going to pass in CA? I hope to god not.

me too :(

Ew. Any Franken news? My cousin said it was 300 votes apart.

I think it's going to be morning before that race is called.

coleman is now 15000 votes ahead.

also, the envrio/art amendment is going to lose because people who didn't choose yes or no count as a no vote. t (o_O t)

what? thats insane

they printed it on the ballot but people didn't pay any fucking attention apparently or hate art and nature.

i can kind of understand people hating art if theyre insane or something but nature??? DUDE, YOU ARE NATURE!!!!

Ahem ARTS ARE ALSO V V IMPORTANT! Esp if I relocate to mpls!

I voted for it, because it was just not that much money to add to the sales tax. I say that as a person with very little money! The only reason I might have opposed it is because it was such a small number that it would have been hard for my math-challenged brain to calculate (obviously no reason!).

SIGH

tza, please come here anyway - we need your votes!

And your company, of course. :)

I know I haven't been around in a while but <3 you guys. I also know that tonight wasn't perfect but really, you should be proud.

JUST GOT MORE PERFECT NEWEST RETURN SAYS IT WILL PASS WOOOOOOOOOT!

also hey dude hi dere!

also, we just reelected the only muslim US house rep by a three to one margin. feeling minnesota again!

prob should stop the celebratory drinking at this point before i trail off into full on nonsense

Ahem ARTS ARE ALSO V V IMPORTANT!

you know this because you are not insane <3

YOU should stop the celebratrory drinking? try advancing six hours and imagining seagulls squawking outside your window as you contemplate whether another beverage is a good idea or not. :P

so glad i booked wednesday off work.

i also know this because funding the arts = gov't grants for general operating expenses = possibly decent salaries for arts professionals like myself.
xpost

i brought myself home so as to not have a TERRIBLE hangover tomorrow... i don't think i will be able to sleep though!!!

aw barack's thank you txt was so sweet!

;n_n; you guys!!

oh michelle bachman i hate your crazy eyes

xpost of course

michelle bachmann is currently on my TV letting us know that she is responsible for making gas cheaper. you goddamn nutjob.

ARTS/ENVIRO is going to win lolcat.jpg

!!!

That woman. UGH.

Somehow NC kicked out Senator Hairspray while we have to keep Bachmann? Ugh.

omg this coleman-franken shit is so close!

why does it say 'no ballot measures' for MN on msnbc.com?

No idea. I have not seen any info other than from you guys about that one.

On a totally different topic, I just want to say how awesome you all are and how much I <3 you all.

Thanks for the sanity-saving commentary, especially of late!

I'm afraid to wade into the election threads. Never good at catching up on long ones.

Congrats to those of you in blue states!

When they called it our street erupted in whoops and cheers, firecrackers were let off. I cried. Like a baby.

Hey ITR, I was so full of vodka when I got home last night.

The Franken thing is soooooooo crazy; do we know if the first count includes absentees/overseas? I would like him to win by ONE overseas vote - mine - and did not know that Barkley was 'stopped' for soliciting at the fitness centre across the street from my mom's office, or so says madre at any rate. That was the last useful contribution she made before going into meltdown over my Franken vote. WTF HE IS OUR ST LOUIS PARK HOMEBOY.

I <3 Keith Ellison so much. The margin of return is wonderful, since behind the Muslim novelty factor is a hardworking district Congressman of the old school. Obviously Bachmann's district will have to concern-troll her for all of the next two years or find something petty and illegal she's done and escalate the shit out of it until she has to go quietly.

Mom phoned to 'call' MN for me and is spitting nails, she's so pissed off. I very reasonably pointed out that when her guy won in less legitimate circumstances I didn't rail that hard so respect the moment, OK?

I did not drink for fear of falling asleep but I was wide awake and even work up an hour early today. Too excited.

G did fall asleep but I shook him violently awake to watch the acceptance speech.

i could not make myself go to bed til after 3 and now i am a week bit hungover. meanwhile, i have just noticed, while checking the mn senate race, that you have a county called "lac qui parle." really!? does mn have talking lakes!? bc that really might weigh heavily in my city choices.
