Okay, when did you do your happy dance? |
|
Right away or a while later when the reality of the win really sank in?
I did it this morning. My wife thinks I'm nuts to begin with but this morning she joined in with me. :)
:party: :bounce: :headbang: :woohoo:

9. I went through and looked, it is an electronic voting system there... |
|
so there isn't much of a recount that can be done. Webb has a solid 8,000 lead and Allen is just being a dick by not conceding.

7. at about 2 am EST this morning.... |
|
when I woke up to check the results and saw how big the big blue wave really was - the house in our grasp and the senate possible
more dancing at around 5:30 when I heard that the Senate MORE than possible
and again at 7:30 when I heard that even the NH state legislature (senate and house) went blue along with BOTH their reps
I'm in Mass but that was a jawdropper to me!
oh yeah - I did a mini dance when the race was called for Deval Patrick for MASS gov at 8:01 after the polls closed at 8:00 - THAT was a no brainer!

10. We high-fived when McCaskill won.. |
|
Once we had Missouri, knowing that Webb and Tester were ahead, we started the real celebration.
Yeah, it might have been pre-mature but what the hell.
Our district here in Indiana also sacked Bushbot and Human douche-bag Chris Chocola last night. I had a strong sense that Count Chocula was going down, byt the margin of Donnelly's victory was impressive for a VERY marginal district.
We finally called it a night (morning?) at 4:30am

While I'm very happy for the rest of the nation, I'm sad that my state didn't participate in the blue wave.
I'm stuck for another six years with a whiny, incompetent Republican who won't represent a thing I'm interested in.
I am also saddened by all the misrepresentation of my state that is being expressed on this board.
Tennessee isn't any more racist than any other state - our issues are that we have no alternative media and we have a whole lot of people who simply will not vote for anyone other than a Republican - and we have to work on changing that, somehow.
We're not inbred hicks. We're not stupid and we're not overly racist.
The positive here is that we have a Dem governor, a Dem state congress and a black man won 48 percent of the votes for US Senate in the Southern state.

16. I started around 9:30pm last night |
|
And every time more good news was announced, I did another little dance. With all this good news I'm getting a little tired! *doing a happy dance now* :bounce:
It's getting harder and harder not to point and laugh @ the picture of B*** that I'm forced to see everyday at work... :rofl:

There was this very upset woman on her cell phone at the coffee shop. She, given half of the conversation, was talking to a democrat and she herself was a republican, and she was chewing out the other person on the phone for gloating. So I started laughing and told her to get over it, then did a happy little dance out the door.

19. Not until I heard they fired Rummy's ass. |
|
I involuntarily screamed out loud with glee when I saw the troll go by on the TV --- was unfortunately on the phone on important business (with a big time R).

How bad Webb lost by...
What a pleasant surprise I had. Pelosi's mandate made me cry at my desk. It really has made my day.
I feel as though we are getting our country back! A face of sanity has returned to lady liberty and that this nation is not doomed to some Orwellian nightmare.

22. When I heard about Rumsfeld. |
|
I guess it took that long to sink in.
I was in the grocery store when I heard someone say "Rumsfeld quit!" and decided to blow the budget on a bouquet of flowers.

24. about 9:15pm pacific time when returns showed Tester, Webb and McAllister leading |
|
Up to that point, CNN had been pushing the "run the table" meme, as in, "For Democrats to retake the senate, they need to run the table and win 3 out of 4 seats."
Then they showed the returns, and my brain just flashed "that's 3" and I started my happy dance with a whoop - which was joined at various times by my wife & overenthusiastic son.

26. Right after our polls closed at 8 pm. |
|
I live in Oregon, so many of the races across the country were heading towards a Democratic win by then anyway. Plus, our local media called the gubernatorial race just after the polls closed for our Democratic incumbent Gov.

when I found out that Claire McCaskell was to be our Senator for Missouri. She was lagging behind when I went to bed last night, but it turned around as we slept, and she beat the incumbent Jim Talent. My husband and I are on cloud nine.:party: :party: :toast: :toast: :toast: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
