Surf's up!
CNN called Strickland the second the polls closed. Which is awesome because we haven't had a real governor in like a decade or more.
And then CBS called Sherrod Brown the winner of the Senate race. ...But no one else has yet.
And Chad Ellsworth, the Democrat, won in IN-06, which I don't think "should have" happened.
I knew that today would be a good one when I got on the Blue Line and I had the bus driver who listens to NPR.
I have been so so excited all day long.
And I'm going to get drunk as hell like right now.
EDIT: 8:50PM
CNN calls it in Ohio: Senator Sherrod Brown (D).
We did it! Fucking right, man!
EDIT: 10:02PM
Sen. Rick Santorum (R) concedes to Sen. Bob Casey (D), and nothing's sweeter than seeing that gay-bashing piece of shit lose, and watching his idiot kids crying their fucking faces off behind him at the podium.
We did it! Fucking right, man!
EDIT: 10:39PM
Hillary Clinton gave a strong, strong victory speech, in which she tends toward the center. I guess I might have been wrong about her aspirations--she might indeed be positioning herself for a Presidential run. Who knows. But that was a killer speech for the base.
We did it! Fucking right, man!
EDIT: 11:12PM
CNN and MSNBC projects the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives! Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, what? I told Matt tonight that Dems would pick up about 30, and MSNBC says 31. Looks like a Blue Wave to me. Booyeah.
We did it! Fucking right, man!
EDIT: 12:17AM
Speaker Pelosi is talking to the troops, and CNN is hypothesizing that Webb is going to end up pulling away from Allen in the VA Senate race. This is huge. Tester, I'm confident, will win. I really, really want McCaskill to win in MO, but I've been doubting her ground game for a while. Behind Sen. Sherrod, she was my favorite Senate candidate. ...I just don't know where it's at.
But to get rid of George Allen... my oh my.
We did it! Fucking right, man!
EDIT: 12:40AM
Taking a look at the results for Ohio's ballot issues. A near sweep for Dems in the statewide positions. The issues: Yes for #2 (good), no for #3 (lame--how the fuck else are we going to pay for education, your retarded Christ-farts?), no for #4 (good), yes for #5 (good--a smoke free Ohio, and I'm ok with that).
CNN calls TN for Corker. Racist Tennessee. You all should be proud.
George Allen just went to his podium to declare his intentions to ask for a recount, which means that there won't be an official result for another month or whatever.
I don't care. I just want the House, and I got the House. And I am happy. And I'm going to drink a Red Bull and wait for MO and MT to get closer to the end.
We did it! Fucking right, man!
EDIT: 1:24AM
Harold Ford concedes in TN. He says "We have a better country than we do an electoral system." Chris Matthews says he'll run again for Senate. I say, hell, this guy could run for President. I wouldn't vote for him in the primaries, but I'd vote for him in the general election. Now we have to pull MO and MT out of a hat to take the Senate. I think it just might happen.
We did it! Fucking right, man!
EDIT: 1:59AM
Claire McCaskill just kind of declared victory in MO. That would be great if that were true. (I think she just wanted to go to bed.) I think MT is going to go blue.
Jesus... this is going to happen.
Oh my God.
We did it! Fucking right, man!
EDIT: 2:09AM
MSNBC and CNN project McCaskill wins MO, and not only that... Talent concedes. This is fucking huge. This is an entirely new day. This is a whole new world.
Jesus Christ. This is fucking amazing.
