		<description>Just for the record, the midwest went entirely for Obama. I know that some people claim that the dakotas are part of it, they&#039;re not. The midwest is any state that plays in the Big-10 conference (MN, IA, WI, IL, IN, MI, OH, and PA). We don&#039;t want anything to do with those other wannabe states.</description>

		<description>Got a few things to say here:
1- John McCain&#039;s concession speech was tactful, respectful, and very appropriate to the circumstances. That those in attendance for it saw fit to twice jeer at the mention of Barack Obama, despite McCain&#039;s obvious discomfort with the first instance of it speaks deeply to the character of the Republican Party, and to the campaign that McCain unfortunately ran.

2- Barack Obama is, in all likely hood, the most eloquent and capable orator to have been elected by the US since Kennedy, if not longer. His victory speech was fantastic.

3- I have a suspicion that the Republican Party may have just had it&#039;s swan song; the differing factions within the party, particularly the Evangelical wing, may entirely begin fighting internally seeking to blame someone for the loss. Combined with the significant defection of more moderate Republicans to the Obama ticket, or to the minor parties, I could easily see a strengthened Constitution or Libertarian party becoming a competitive party as Social or Fiscal conservatives distance themselves from increasingly theocratic GoP base and jump to a party that targets more moderate conservative viewpoints.
Now, I&#039;m no poli-sci scholar or anything... but the particular divisiveness of this Republican race, on a whole, has seemed to have largely alienated the moderate, secular, and let&#039;s say remotely sane wings of the party.

4- IT&#039;S 3:30 AND CNN STILL HAS ALL THEIR FUCKING PEOPLE THERE! WHAT THE FUCK?!</description>

		<description>Second the Prop 8 failing... not looking that good yet, though. 

What kind of screwed up state allows a constitutional amendment with a straight majority? I thought Amendment propositions had to pass through the California Legislature first?</description>

		<description>Well, I mean, really, I can&#039;t blame them for booing too much. Since Obama is a Marxist Terrorist Socialist and all that. 

Besides, there&#039;s plenty of nice liberal countries for scared Democrats to run too. Most of the real ultra-conservative countries also don&#039;t like white people, so the Republican supporters are kinda screwed. ;)</description>

		<description>On the one hand: WOOHOO!

On the other hand:  This means I won&#039;t be moving back to Canada from California anytime soon.  Which is sort of a shame, since I miss snow. :)</description>

		<description>I wonder if Palin blames herself for McCain losing like he has.  In a way, I feel bad for her.  In many other ways, I will never be able to stop laughing at her.</description>

		<description>No homeless Kitties!  Now I just have to see what happens with Prop. 8 in California.  If that doesn&#039;t pass, this will be the best night in a long time for me.</description>

		<description>Daily Show declares Obama!  It&#039;s now official, because The Daily Show has said it!  WOOOOO!

Also, may I express the sentiment of &quot;YEAH!&quot;

And perhaps a hearty &quot;WOOYEAH!&quot; is in order?  

But let&#039;s not go overboard.</description>
