Hanging chads
Nov. 5th, 2008 03:46 amAs I go to bed, the great Al Franken is up by 300 votes in Minnesota, after being behind all night. He's most likely telling himself that he's good enough, he's smart enough, and, by golly, people like him.
Yes we can.
Darcy Burner, adorable techie from Washington's 8th and sweetheart of progressive bloggers everywhere, whose house burned to the ground earlier this year, is up by 3500.
Yes we can.
600,000 missing early votes (or two million) have turned up in Georgia, threatening McCain's 250kvote lead there and, most likely, sending Chambliss (R) and Martin (D) to a special runoff election, when it looked like Chambliss was a safe win.
Yes we can.
And Barack Obama is going to be the next President of the United States.
Let me repeat that: Barack Obama is going to be the next President of the United States. We get to watch his two beautiful girls (and their new puppy) grow up in the White House. We did that. America did that.
Yes. We. Can.
(On the down side: It's early yet, but Alaska appears to be demonstrating why we keep a wide swath of Canadian tundra between us and them by (re-)electing a convicted felon to the senate. And Prop. 8 seems to be passing, thanks in large part, ironically, to California's black voters. No national victory, however great, can erase the stain from California this year if 8 passes.)
Yes we can.
