thanks
rally @ key arena free 11 am friday.
he will be there
it’s full. they locked 20,000 in and locked the rest out
:(
20,000 is GREAT, though
i just saw someone on the ave with a “STAND FOR CHANGE” placard.
he just drove by my work in a big assed motorcade and we all stood on the curb and watched him go by. except i couldn’t see him. but i waved.
that trumps guy with placard :)
the cutest and nicest boy at our market asked me was i going to caucus and where
now i go caucus. for 2.
text update: caucus “really annoying”
results promising! our precinct: 6 delegates for obama, 1 for clinton
McCain v. Obama would be the biggest age-gap in a GE contest ever.

look at this crowd in portland yesterday!
WOWOWOWOWOW!!!
hey who donated? WE DID
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD!!!!!
lol whenever Hannity brings up that crowd up there^^ he says THE MEDIA NEVER MENTIONS THE FACT THAT SOME VERY POPULAR ROCK BANDS PLAYED FOR FREE AT THAT EVENT BEFORE OBAMA SPOKE
yard signs, window sign, bumper sticker
and a surprise
omg betty at the campaign headquarters was so surly and muttery
the surprise was an obama chocolate bar, by the way
so i think what happened is a crow ate too many overripe blackberries and had to take a break on the wire above the obama sign to recover.
people, there aren’t many candidates who could inspire me to deal with purple birdshit.
but after much scrubbing it’s all fresh and clean and back in the yard. gross but worth it.
re. that, when i heard a thing on the radio about how obama has the ability to inspire people, for example to volunteer for campaign stuff that hillary had to pay people to do, i said to myself OTM.
100,000 people in st. louis today
saw this license plate yesterday:
OBAMA08
nice! maybe it was joe.
my friend EB texted that her 2-year-old is obsessed with saying barak obama. i love him.
IT IS TIME
leg jiggling excitable chatterboxes for OBAMA

I HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN!! OMG!!!!!!
I CAN TELL THIS IS GOING TO BE A SHOUTY DAY!!!!!!
I CANNOT GET ANY WORK DONE AT ALL!!!!!

my phone company just texted me: they are paying for all u.s. calls during polling hours, so that i can call people to remind them to vote.
i don’t know anyone who needs a reminder but still
there’s an election today?
o u card!!!
j/k!
how are the jiggling legs, chatterboxes?
i woke up at 3.38am and had to force myself to not jiggle my legs or start talking, it was very difficult.

― Shacknasty (Frogman Henry), Tuesday, November 4, 2008 8:43 PM
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
i am drunk for obama, drunk for america. i even like george will and david brooks tonight. historic.
histrionic, even? perhaps. hysterical? probably.
i claim the right to be those.

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.
whew
yes
what a night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and what a day to wake up to!
when i got to work: hugs all around, more tears, smiling smiling smiling....
someone in our neighborhood hung up a sheet on the front of their house, next to an american flag:
IT’S OVER 8 YEARS OF MISERY PROUD TO BE AMERICAN
our new president emailed me last night but i didn’t get it till now:
Lxy—
I’m about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.
We just made history.
And I don’t want you to forget how we did it.
You made history every single day during this campaign — every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it’s time for change.
I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.
We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I’ll be in touch soon about what comes next.
But I want to be very clear about one thing...
All of this happened because of you.
Thank you,
Barack
i love him. :_)
a place where a man named barack emails a girl named lxy? I LOVE THIS COUNTRY
haha i just checked my voicemail: barack CALLED me, too!

if that were my name i would have been sorta sketched for you to call me it
let’s get back on topic though this thread is not about me it’s about
OH MY FUCKING GOD WE HAVE A NEW PRESIDETN AND HE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
lingbert, what is your expert opinion of sarah palin’s public speaking.
“Right now, I cannot even imagine running for national office in 2012,‘ she told CNN. “When I say that, though, of course, coming on the heels of an outcome that I certainly didn’t anticipate and had not hoped for.‘
She added: “I mean, it is a time for all of us to work together. So having said that, 2012 sounds so far off that I can’t even imagine what I’d be doing then.‘
Palin, whose socially conservative views and lack of experience were seen as having put off some independent voters, dismissed reports that people had voted against the Republican ticket because of her.
“I don’t think anybody should give Sarah Palin that much credit that I would trump an economic time in this nation that occurred about two months ago,‘ she told CNN.
“That my presence on the ticket would trump the economic crisis that America found itself in a couple of months ago and attribute John McCain’s loss to me.‘
But she said if her presence had in any way damaged McCain’s chances at the polls she would regret it.
“If I cost John McCain even one vote, I am sorry about that because John McCain, I believe, is the American hero.
”I had believed it was his time. He being so full of courage and wisdom and experience. That knowledge he embodies, I believe he would have been the best pick. But that is not the Americans’ choice at this time.‘

i finally had a chance to listen to the youtube. awesome amon!!!
my brother-in-lol is still spamming everyone he knows with election-related emails. 5 today. so far. oh no wait, another just in!
here’s his best:
I was flipping through several channels last night (C-SPAN 1, 2, and 3, BBC, CNN International) and one of them, I think it was C-SPAN 1, focused on and continued to return to Oprah who was mugging for the cameras in Grant Park. Did anyone else see her? She’s really annoying. Like she’s the only one who voted for Obama. I bet she didn’t get a personal e-mail from him like I did.

this is my favorite
I love Barack Obama
you’ve come to the right place curtis
have u read his book
he has 2. are they good? i might be interested in knowing.
i read dreams from my father. its really good for what it is but if the dude wasnt president i probably wouldnt recommend it.
pretty quick read tho.
i haven’t read either. it feels weird to be a fan of the president... that’s never been the case before so i don’t have any reference points for how to express it or how to maintain the good feeling and hopefulness. maybe reading his books would help me?
i am worried that my expectations are too high.
lxy would you say that your hope is audacious?
no, lingy, that’s my problem!!
then i think mr. obama has just the book for you

i’d forgotten all about these even though i was one of the shining stars of my public speaking class.
i think most of the algebra is gone as well.
one of my teachers (we had two in that class) told me i was “most improved” in my class.
if u read dreams from my father u can read all about my college where obama says he smoked a lot of weed and did coke and ate ‘hawaiian’-style pizzas and did activisty things
“Hey,
Want a free Obama sticker to celebrate our victory? It’s designed by Shepard Fairey, the artist who created the iconic HOPE poster. And MoveOn’s giving them away totally free—even the shipping’s free.
I just got mine. Click this link to get your free Obama sticker:

a great moment for left-handed people in america
― harbl, Tuesday, January 20, 2009 2:40 PM (3 years ago)
XD I LOVE THE LEFT-HANDERS
herbert hoover was left-handed!
i just reread the thread and got weepy.
i don’t remember having known that herbert hoover was left-handed
but yeah
I learned this week that many presidents have come through my town but few have stayed for more than a few minutes. Apparently Taft gave a very wonky speech once that he didn’t finish because he audience got bored. And Carter came by in a boat.
