You guys, there are never any lines at my polling place. You know how election watchers are always complaining that the polling places and voting machines are disproportionately sent to wealthy white suburbs and exurbs? Well, I live in a wealthy white suburb. And there is a line. I have been standing in line to vote and will likely be here another 30-40 minutes. I know some of you will wait hours, and I applaud that - I would, too, if my polling place were packed, but it never is. Until today.

The turnout on this thing is going to be *enormous*.

Oui, nous pouvons.

Holy shit, guys. We did it. I'm a little... wait, is this what Republicans felt like for the past 8 years? As a liberal, I feel conditioned to constantly accept electoral failure. But we won this time. My brain is all "DOES NOT COMPUTE".

I bawled through his acceptance speech.

ps - not talking about Prop 8 right now. :-|
