3. I've been numb since Tuesday night

Just kind of going through the motions. Wondering if I'll wake up from a dream.

It'll probably hit me this weekend.

:woohoo:

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. I just can't seem to wipe the smile off my face! I'm so GIDDY!

This has been the most FANTASTIC ELECTION of my lifetime! It was GREAT when Bill Clinton won 2 elections, but THIS was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than that! This one saved our country....LITERALLY!

[AdvancedProgress]

5. It did happen, didn't it!

It will probably take all weekend to sink in good!

:woohoo:

6. I was so worried that it would be stolen that I prepared my

brain to hear the worst. Has taken since Tuesday to finally start sinking in! Everytime I have woke since, I turn on the news just to check to see if it was a dream. Either it is a ground hog day dream or WE DID IT!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh it feels sooooooooooooooo good!

[myrna minx]

7. Me too. I kept thinking that I was going to wake up and it was all

just a magnificent dream. It's finally sinking in for me too. I watched this today:

40. You know, that was the first time I've heard the National Anthem

in sooo long, where I felt that this was my country too. That was very poignant for me. :hug:

[JudyM]

32. I know - when I heard we won the House I was incredulous even though

it seemed reasonably likely. I just didn't think the voting machines would 'allow' us to win. Since Allen finally rolled over I just have a continuous smile on my face but I have to keep shaking my head. Is this fer real?!! How is it even possible? Did they not mess with the machines this time because they knew we'd be watching?

[MasonJar]

8. This election was monumental because our country was well on

the way to becoming a fascist state. Thank you, DUerS & candidates who took a chance & all you marvelous democratic voters. You saved our country just in time.

[Matariki]

10. omg - get over it

i am SO kidding!!!!!

edited to change the obvious sarcasm tag to this: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[The Wielding Truth]

11. Lalalalalalalalalala.. we have some power to change the world!

[Rainscents]

12. I feel like, I am still dreaming.

I still can't believe it and very numb still.:kick: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

13. Yey!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed watching the news for the 1st time in eons.

16. nice thread

17. My brother called and asked what it felt like to wake up for the

first time in six years and not immediately fall into a depression. Our conversations about the repugs could have gotten both of us sent to Gitmo. We were both absolutely giddy, let me say.

[midnight]

35. I know that feeling. When the election was first stolen,

I said, well how bad can this get? What a nightmare. This is the first glimmer of hope, I must say ,I have felt. Rolling Stone named my congressman, Sennsenbrenner, as the second worst congressman in the Country. He just won another term. I guess his power will be limited at this point so maybe we can remove the patriot act.

[Tess49]

38. I suffer with you. We in Oklahoma have the wonderful Tom Coburn

and Jim Inhofe. My head hangs in shame and embarrassment.

[Tuesday_Morning]

18. what the heck..

WOOOOOOOOOOOO-FUCKIN'-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

:bounce: Is there a smilie for dancing? :bounce:

[Nick Fallon]

19. Hold on there.

This a good time to celebrate, but don't we have '08 to win? Let's save it til we win the big chair. IMHO

[Olney Blue]

23. Welcome to DU, Nick.

Come on, let's celebrate for a little while! :toast:

[Nick Fallon]

29. Patience fellow henchman

I will not get carried away with a small but crucial victory. But I will have a drink with ya.

31. Hi Nick Fallon!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

33. Oh no, my friend! We have to drink it up now - pause and revel in the glory of the new day.

Welcome to DU, Nick! Glad you're joining the party -

20. Even my cats are happy!

I knew what this post was about before I even saw it.


The thing is, we keep getting reminded, each time there's good news. And the list is long. From resignations, to Sibel Edmonds.


We're so used to being dragged around and kicked, it's almost hard to believe. And it transcends simple happiness. This is down to the core, physical happiness.

I am telling no lie, my cats can even tell the difference. WOOOOOOOO diddly HOOOOOOO times infinity at 180 decibels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Olney Blue]

24. Cats are wise souls!

[WinkyDink]

21. And they can STUFF their "We weren't TRUE Republicans"; "The people voted for CONSERVATIVES";

"The Democrats need to work with Bush".

WE'RE LARGE and IN CHARGE!!!

[Nick Fallon]

36. But he won't work with us

Thats why I am very skeptical over the next 2 years. I will be happy if I am proven wrong. We are all happy since wednesday, but pray that we will be better off 1 year from now. Democrats won, but are they progressive enough to touch base with us? I hope so, except maybe a few I don't trust like Bob Casey Jr.

[lonestarnot]

25. Yes we did! Woot!

[davidlynch]

26. Kind if In Shock, All Of Us--Even Radio Jocks Like Thom Hartmann Seem Like They Are Floating Around

[texpatriot2004]

27. Whoop there it is. We won the House We won the Senate...

WE WON!

[NoBushSpokenHere]

28. How many people have called you and said

we have had a GREAT week haven't we! I have received a few of these calls today. I took a deep breath and said, HELL YES we have had A GREAT WEEK!

[JudyM]

34. Spared just in the nick of time: wild places and animals, global political stability, our democracy,

"ordinary people," and on and on. This is cataclysmic change. So grateful that it has actually, unbelievably, arrived. Thanks to all the volunteers on the ground and our democratic leadership for bringing about what seemed like the impossible. Now for the first time in 6 years, we can sleep without one eye open.

37. Just leaving for a MoveOn party

Gonna celebrate!!!

[BlueStorm]

39. I have been feeling good all week and in an emotional high...

then my mom ruined it for me tonight. We were talking about the Dem take over and she starts lambasting the Democrats by saying that they have good rhetoric but they always give handouts. She said that there should be time limits to welfare but that the state should train these people to get jobs. She isn't happy with the Republicans either.

I mentioned that thing about Pelosi saying that impeachment is off the table but that most of the new Dems may plan on investigating the Iraq war. She says, "Oh it's called politics, ain't nothing going to happen. It never has and never will."

Now the thing is, my mom voted straight Democratic this time around. She told me that she will give Granholm (our state governor) a month or two but expects her to do something with the state's economy.

For me, I really hope that this new Congress coming in will prove her wrong.

I am very happy and pleased that the Dems have both the House and Senate and I am eagerly waiting to see how they function. I have high expectations that they will do something about the lies and troubles that this Adminstration has caused.
