Not to splash some cold water on a great night
But this is what concerns me. Our "esteemed friends" in the far right :hi: are starting to realize they are not the majority. They have over the last few months, but tonight...well it's kind of...a hard confirmation.

You all need to stay alert. Some of our lovely friends might start thinking that this lovely second Ammendment is the only way to save the nation. We have seen plots. It's time to call them internal terror, but I expect more of that.

Now back to your previously scheduled celebration. It is a wave election in so many ways. I hope the kids in dc get the right message, but somehow I don't expect it either.

2. those kids in dc won't get it but they will have to listen. this also
in my opinion bolstered OWS. It is a great night but there is always tomorrow. The best part of Kasich's castration is that the gutless wimps in other states will read the tea leaves. YAY!

4. Absolutely; the battle is never "over"
But a night like tonight can be as bracing as any tonic. Onward and upward. Let's raze the RNC, sow the ground with salt, and make "Republican" a by-word for horror.

5. The big battle now is to get the voting rights back
As Rachel said a while ago, "They have the money, we have the numbers." Tonight
we saw what organized and focused numbers can do. But it won't work if they knock
out the minority and student vote because of this bogus voter ID requirement. That
is the biggest danger going forward.

9. Sure
this battle is not over by a long shot, knowing the republicans as most of us do,
they will be plotting, scheming, lying, crying just so they can get their way.

IMO we need to keep fighting for a 30% margin which will put them in the doldrums
for a while.
