So ... are you buying champagne?

[BattyDem]

I want to get some champagne for election night, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I don't want to jinx it.

On the other hand, assuming Obama wins, I want to celebrate with a toast to our new president ... and to history being made! :-)

Should I play it safe and remain low-key or should I throw caution to the wind and buy the bubbly? :)

[Wednesdays]

8. Not today

Can't buy champagne on Sunday in Oklahoma. I have to wait until Monday. :)

[eleny]

9. Maybe run out and get some Tuesday evening after they call it

If the store isn't too far.

18. Ooooh ... that sounds good!

I'm going to have to get some of that. Thanks for the link! :hi:

[BlooInBloo]

21. np - it's AWESOME!

[Barack_America]

11. It's not when you buy it that counts...

It's when you chill it.

So feel free to stock up. Just keep it in the liquor cabinet for a couple of days. ;)

[BattyDem]

13. That's a good point!

:hi:

12. After 8 years of B*sh, who can afford champagne?

I'm lucky I can afford $11/case beer these days.

[BattyDem]

14. I won't be getting the expensive stuff

:-)

[Kittycat]

15. It's sitting on the counter.

4 years ago, we bought it, and had it chilling. We never opened it that night... I think it was actually many months before we opened it. We bought some this time, better brand this go around - but it's sitting on the counter. I'm not sure if we'll chill it - that will be DHs decision... I'm thinking we keep it out of the fridge just in case, and have it warm. Yeah - I know, it sucks like that.

16. not my cup of tea... ill be getting some whiskey ;)

or if worst comes to worst... a bottle of some good ole cheap mogan david ;)

17. I'm going to the Stranger's (local alt-weekly) election party on Tuesday, and expect to be drinking

a great deal. If I can stumble home without passing out, I'll by a bottle of bubbly.

27. You be sure to let us know if Dan Savage is there!

:D

[FVZA_Colonel]

23. I'm pretty sure he's the MC!

But I'll be posting, no doubt (they say they'll have free Wi-Fi).

Welcome to DU! :hi:

3. Smooth and easy

nuff said LOL

[Chasing Dreams]

20. My wife bought two bottles of very nice french champagne tonight

for our neighborhood election party. After Florida, Ohio, and the last eight years, we earned it.

[BlooInBloo]

22. I thought ALL champagne was French.

[PBS Poll-435]

1. Otherwise it would be classified as a sparking white wine?

:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

2. Yuppers.

[MonteLukast]

4. "Champagne" from Missouri...

Stone Hill Winery, Hermann, MO

They do use méthode champinoise. They've got the right stuff.

[BlooInBloo]

5. It's not champagne. No matter what they say.

[MonteLukast]

29. But it might be good luck for Missouri Dems.

Once it's clear Obama will win MO, anyway. ;)

[otohara]

25. I Did - I Will Get A Headache

and all stuffed up from 1 glass, but I don't care.

[Bryan]

26. Oh hell no. Champagne would jinx it

It looks like I'll be drinking gin, the official spirit of sober reflection.

[BattyDem]

6. LOL ... that's what I'm worried about

I don't want to jinx it. It's funny ... I'm usually not a superstitious person, but this election has got me stressed out! :crazy:

Maybe I should just wait until Wednesday. :-)

[PBS Poll-435]

7. Nah....Just Club Soda & Clamato until VA is called

;-)

[Manifestor_of_Light]

28. bought it a long time ago.

I bought a case of Piper-Heidsieck in the red bottles(the best, IMNSHO) back in 2003.

So a couple of bottles will go to the victory party!!

[GardeningGal]

30. I bought mine but haven't put it in the refrigerator yet.

I'll do that on Tuesday sometime.

[bronxiteforever]

31. I bought it yesterday. And will fly the flag on Wednesday as well for President elect Obama

[progressivebydesign]

32. Nope! Been through this twice already. No champagne til the last lawyer goes home.

Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer, but if you weren't here in 2004 and didn't witness the unbearably humiliating pre-celebration threads that turned to WTF??? threads, then you wouldn't understand.

If you were here on DU for that, then you'd understand.

I won't celebrate in earnest, until McCain concedes and the last lawyer goes home.

Then.. I party like it's 1999!

[GoesTo11]

33. I just now bought a big old American flag

Ready to hang it out Wednesday morning in America.

[yasmina27]

34. Buy the bubbly!

I'm buying my bottle today. Hopefully to celebrate - that's my plan - but in the worst case scenario, to drown my sorrow in.

[ensho]

35. I bought apples for an apple pie to welcome Obama to the prez

going to make it tomorrow morning.

but if they steal it again, I'll eat the pie for energy to go out and _ _ _ _

[polichick]

36. I'm bringing sweet potato pie to our election party!

I'm sure someone will bring bubbly though.

[Scooter24]

37. Yup. I bought 50 bottles of Moet to toast victory!

Plus we bought other various liquors for the 40-50 attendees at our watch party. Decorator will be here Tuesday morning, caterer will be here later that afternoon with the food and the bartender that night at 6. We are very excited.
