Important election update

[elliptic_eye]

Have found a bottle of rum. Have commenced drinking.

ETA: And with Sen. McCain's congratulatory address, I am switching from rum to champagne. And crying.

ETA2: And when California has fully reported, I'll be a human lawn sprinkler, one way or another, and am drunk enough to say so.

ETA3: Via violetisblue:

Good for you.

Have you seen the NYT's interactive map? It's got county-by-county results. I was shocked to see that both Albemarle County and Nelson County went for Obama, but I guess the demographics there have changed a *lot* since I first started visiting there.

ARGH LOUDOUN COUNTY HURRY UP AND COUNT

[nonelvis]

NYT has Obama ahead in Loudoun, 52.6%-46.7%, with 92% of the precincts reporting. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I think it's looking good.

*fails to find the button for county-by-county, wants to seeeeee*

*Googles moar*

Edit: I am dense. Clearly, I need more rum.

I went out to the polls, after which I went and bought myself a bottle of booze. It was going to be a margarita bottle, but there WEREN'T ANY. =( *cracks Smirnoff*

[elliptic_eye]

As many times as we've been accused of socialism in the past few weeks, vodka is probably the right drink. Bottoms up, comrade.

[airie_fairy]

I knew there was a deep reason behind my fondness.

[scarletsherlock]

I just cracked open a beer, myself.

OHIO LOVES ME THOUGH, so I am optimistic.

[elliptic_eye]

I dare not venture into optimism. Fandom has traumatized me that way. *criez*

[scarletsherlock]

There are still people running around and cheering outside in my apartment complex. It's awesome. Two dudes with dreads have pots and spoons and keep yelling "Yes We Can!" and singing Ohio songs.

[elliptic_eye]

I am toasting those dudes from afar this very moment. *glomps you*

My county was blue up to 80% reporting but switched to red when it reached 89%. Maybe we'll flip back to blue at 100%.

[elliptic_eye]

Looks like the red/blue is all over so far as the presidential race is concerned… but the numbers on Ca's Prop 8 are making me want to cry. Not in the good way. Still, only 9% in; we'll see. I guess.

[sabra_n]

Roomie and I had frou frou wine coolers. Yum.

[elliptic_eye]

I'll drink a toast with you. I seem to be doing a lot of those in the past hour.
