Thanks to all who were live blogging today

I appreciate all of your hard work. I kept up from work, and left to go to class at 4:00. Since my class is a computer class, I had access to the internets. At about 4:30 or so, DU shut down to everyone not signed in or registered, and since I wasn't at my computer, I didn't feel comfortable signing in. Anyway, long story short, when this happened I was hoping beyond hope that it was because we had been successful, and people were going nuts with jubilation. I almost started crying when I was finally able to see what was actually happening. I felt terribly alone.

What the fuck happened exactly? I thought we were much closer than 25 nay votes. Is there a good, comprehensive thread anyone can point me to that sums it up?

Thanks again to everyone for all of your hard work here today keeping us all informed. There are so many times when I feel truly useless in this process, and today was one of those times.
