I was so afraid Dino would pull it off this time. I was holding my breath until Chris's victory speech.

[Matariki]

14. Yeah. That bastard wouldn't concede. Don't know if he has yet

maybe he'll try and insist on a recount. loser. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

20. I wouldn't doubt it.

He's still really pissed about '04.

I just wish I could look him in the eye and say, "Get over it!" :rofl:

[liberalmuse]

[Matariki]

10. I can hear fireworks. Am in Fremont. Sound like they are over in the direction of Gasworks.

[Matariki]

13. Fireworks at Broadway and Pike. Probably other places too.

Really an amazing night. Like we got our democracy back.

[Chrisnreno]

12. Someone set off some fireworks in my neighborhood...

here in Las Vegas, once Obama was announced as President-Elect.

[merwin]

15. Bellingham (90 miles north of Seattle) is crazy.

Cars were everywhere, honking, shouting, waving. One guy with an Obama sign ran over to me at a stoplight and gave me a high-5.

[mrbill]

16. my little county in North Texas went 78%-McCain, 22%-Obama

No joy in Dimwitville.

Just the sounds of exploding heads in the night.

Pat Peale, the infamous band-aide lady lives about sixteen miles to the East, when her head blew it shook my walls.

[Matariki]

17. I'm sorry. I was wondering what it would be like to be in a state like Texas tonight

:grouphug: for you

[jules1962]

18. I understand MrBill

I am here in red East Tn and when I came home from my parents house party about 1:30am all the lights in my huge neighborhood were off. Huge number of dems here. I couldn't help it,I blew my horn coming down the street. I am enjoying watching all the happy people on the videos though. I am there in spirit.:party: :headbang: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause:

[mrbill]

19. don't be sorry, 22% are doing happy dances.......

mostly in the privacy of their own homes.

love the sound of republican heads exploding.

the cats get tuna tonight.

[Matariki]

21. Heh, that's funny. My cats got salmon.

funny ways we have to celebrate!

[Bongo Prophet]

23. We are in Fort Worth, and there was dancing and hugging and honking of horns

Ms Prophet held her sign up, shouting "Obama!" - and the guy driving the street sweeper let out HUGE airhorn that echoed in the street. We met strangers on the sidewalk and gave hugs and slaps. Went to a celebration at the Hilton and cheered/cried together during President-elect Obama's spech.

On our way home I honked and Ms Prophet shouted out the window, where the late night taxi drivers and night workers shouted back with cheers.

A very good day, today. We are ONE - we who can SEE.

[BklynChick]

22. dancing and celebrating in the streets of Bklyn!

[wickerwoman]

24. Fireworks in Auckland, NZ

Of course it's Guy Fawkes Day too but I like to think a few of them are for the return of sanity to US politics. I had a beer with my Indian and Maori neighbors and they seemed well chuffed about it.

[SeattleGirl]

26. Remember, remember the fifth of November

The gunpowder treason and plot
I can think of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.


I think I like the 2008 version a lot better!

[Matariki]

28. Off topic Bezdmony

Did you take your name from The Master and Margarita?

[Window]

25. Anyone else have fireworks in their neighborhood. We did, and it was beautiful.

CNN is showing celebrations all over the world and the Kenyan president has declared today a national holiday.

This is nothing short of amazing!
