Obama win is a win for us all. Congratulations to everybody!

Still recovering from the trauma that was Election Day. I think I caught a flu bug out of the deal for all my exhaustion from working on two hours of sleep this last week. I stopped at home Tuesday at about 8pm just to warm up, grab a bottle of booze, and split to a local party. And then could not move from the couch. Sad I missed the party, but I wouldn't have missed campaigning for anything. What a glorious election night for progress and the people! Money cannot buy everything! Four more years with President Obama! 20 women in the Senate! Higher turnout in 18-29, women, African Americans, and Latino voters! All of Fox News in shock and confusion was just the sweet sweet cherry on top of the cake!

There is much more work to be done, and 2010 midterm elections tell us voters can not get complacent. When we step out of participating in citizenship, others come in and take our place. We cannot afford to let that happen again. But for now, some sleep and celebration: An old but still relevant vid and Rachel Maddow's awesome monologue last night says it all better than I could right now.
