2. lol, remember when they were the first one to call Ohio for Obama on election night?
Or was it PA? Anyway .... it was all over but the shouting at that point.

Would be quite appropriate.

6. Good times, good times.
I still go watch that moment on YouTube from time to time. I just love smarmy Bret's "Guess what, Karl?" before informing him that Ohio went Obama.

It's sad how much I like to re-live that moment.

15. OMG, I do the same thing! I also sometimes re-watch the moment that Biden walked out on stage to
join Obama on election night. I always get chills.

21. For me it was Obama's acceptance speech
At Mile High Stadium.

I was there, I heard it, I saw it, I felt it, It was a done Deal.

In hind sight, the election feels like a technicality to me.

10. Well, we needed five more "yes" votes as of early yesterday morning, per MSNBC.
I've seen over a dozen reported here on DU since then.

So yeah, we've got the votes.

19. I've been saying that for days now. We probably had 223 once the CBO scored.
This is just for show.

4. THEN THE VOTE WILL BE SCHEDULED NOW
As I watched Faux yesterday the talking point of the day was the DEMS didn't have the votes and if they did they would schedule a vote immediately. Completely ignoring the 72 hour promise for the sole purpose of rallying the base.

Fucktards!

7. This must stick in their craw
Edited on Fri Mar-19-10 05:50 PM by Botany
After all their propaganda and disinformation .... they don't have the votes and so on .....
Fox can't be shown reporting one thing when the facts say something else.

This tells me that Nancy has way past the 216 that is needed.
