2. Colorado thanks you - and we hope to remain blue for a LONG LONG time...
We're already busy working on kicking out FotF - hopefully relocating them to the Bikini Atoll with the radiation.

I always considered you guys blue because of 2000.
But if you feel re-connected, great!

18. It's not a new blue state but I am so PROUD of Pennsylvania. We've done it 3x in a row baby
when the haters were against us. THANK YOU PA. I no longer "live" there but I am so proud of the keystone state.

27. honestly, me too. I feel ashamed and I am so humbled to be proven wrong
I was very nervous Western PA would have some sort of racist turn but in the end the great residents of PA did not. I thought less of them and I am wrong. So proud of PA right now.

25. I'm so depressed. I knew WV would go red again, but I thought
for sure Kanawha County (Charleston -- capital city) would be blue. We lost by 1 percent to McCain.

29. Like I can breathe again after 8 years.
What a great acceptance speech by Obama! On that note, I'm out of here for the night. Thanks to everyone who's kept the news up to date here. Our work may begin again tomorrow, but tonight, we get to revel in a well-earned victory.

35. I can see North Carolina from my house, does that count?
Seriously, I can see the mountains that make up the border. Just a 20 minute drive for me to get over the border. I go there a lot and snowboard there with my son.

Can I pretend I'm a blue stater?

But many of the counties have gone more Democratic and we can work on them over the next few years!
