this feels even better than i thought it would, it is amazing, everything is changed forever, all those sad men in the mccain crowd with your trimmed moustaches and pleated dockers, it's over, it's over.

oh, estela. thank you for being here with us.

everything is changed forever

not an overstatement!

i love you estela

and all of l&j posters and friends

AM HOPING FOR THE OVERNESS OF DOCKERS TOO!!!!

YES WE CAN'T STOP CRYING

i love you too

there is no tv in my girlfriends apartment so i listened to the victory speech on WNYC mixing with the noise of car horns and teenagers shouting outside while my girlfriend slept on the bed and im not normally someone who lets himself be taken away but i had to turn off the radio before i could hear anybody start the election postmortem because i am crying and it seems like the only people who have any right to talk after the president-elect are the chanting kids on the street below

oh who am i kidding i am totally someone who lets himself be taken away but i will say this seems like a particularly worthwhile time to be taken away

you are a darling, max

EVERYBODY'S DARLING YOU GUYS I DON'T EVEN KNOW I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO

IS IS WEIRD TO TAKE IT PERSONALLY? IT FEELS PERSONAL.

THIS IS SOME OTHER THING I DON'T EVEN KNOW BUT IT FEELS SO GREAT

i love you front of ny times

2008 / Election Night We’ve Never Been So Happy to Be on the Bus

posted by Stranger Election Control Board on November 4 at 8:50 PM

It was business as usual on the number 18 bus to Ballard around 7:45 or so. Until, of course, the driver announced: “Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.”

Everyone on the bus cheered.

“The black man won!” declared the woman from behind the wheel.

Everyone on the bus cheered even louder.

he is an amazing speaker

and i know all about public speaking because i took a class in it

but yeah he seems like the real deal

real deal

i took a public speaking class too, at community college in orlando, so i can say with authority that lingbert is correct about obama's speaking skills.

i never took a public speaking class but my dad called me to say 'he sure knows how to deliver it' so you must be right

lxy dad otm

this is from the age newspaper in melbourne:

Who would you vote to be President of the United States?

Barack Obama - 93%

John McCain - 7%

Total Votes: 15707

Spontaneous Celebration in DC

It's been an exciting night here in DC. We had been hearing all the horns beeping and people yelling, but then seeing the spontaneous celebration in DC in front of the White House, we decided it was time to step away from the laptops and join in. We hopped into the car and headed down to the White House - or at least tried to. The spontaneous celebration was so large that the police had begun to block off the streets. We got on foot and headed to the White House.

As we walked through the streets, people were screaming, horns were all blaring with a "beep-beep-beep" in "yes we can" tempo. All the cars has people piled into them, flags and Obama signs flying, encouraging the street crowd and vice versa. THe whole scene prompted Joe to say that he'd never seen anything like it in DC.

When we got to the White House, the crowd out front was screaming, chanting, and all in all just having a great time. Washington isn't sleeping tonight, and I'm sure neither is George Bush.
