Four! more! years!

President Barack Obama, Senator Tammy Baldwin, Congressman Mark Pocan. :D :D :D!

Aaaand Elizabeth Warren won the Massachusetts Senate race, the crazy 'rape is God's will' Republican candidates lost (I know, how the hell is there even one, never mind multiple in that category), and Maine and Maryland legalized same-sex marriage. I'm still waiting to hear Washington's and Minnesota's verdicts on that one. Edited to add: Washington too! *And* Maryland will give in-state tuition to undocumented immigrant students. :D! To cap it all, Puerto Rico is starting the process to become a state.
:) :) :)

I just wish the state Senate hadn't flipped back to R control. Dammit...

Can't win 'em all. All in all, though. I am flipping delighted, not to mention no little bit relieved, by tonight. As I said in response to someone on twitter saying she now had hope: So do I. It's been a long time coming.

Willard Romney, I know this is going to sound like sour grapes, but that was for Seamus, pal.

I have an interview tomorrow. Must sleep.

Yes...

My favorite quote post-campaign was:

You know your party is in trouble when someone asks 'Did the rape candidate lose?' and you have to ask 'Which one?'
