The other wonderful things are the dismissals of the wingnuts Allen West and Michele Bachmann, and the rape apologists Mourdock and Akin.
UPDATE: Bachmann is now ahead by ~1300 votes with 86% reporting. I’m not a praying man, but I’ll make an exception.
And the most wonderful thing are the winger tears. If you think Political Observer’s melt-down in the last thread is fun to watch, you need to take a look at Victoria Jackson’s twitter, @vicjackshow
And since most of her ~4300 followers are people who point at her and laugh, a fact she doesn’t seem to get, it’s like watching children poke at this poor rabid worn out gopher with sticks to see what she’ll do. Good times, good times.
And last but certainly not the least among my favorite things, is the fact that Andrew Breitbart is still dead.
Oh, yeah, I’m drunk. Falling down, commode-hugging, epically fucking drunk! Thank God for spell check!

And it looks like California is becoming temporarily sane about taxes and education, with Prop 30 moving ahead.
I’m 50. This is the best Dem election night of my life, better than 2008. Feels GOOD.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Anti-marriage amendment and Voter ID FAILED in Minnesota.
I can breathe for the first time in months and months. We worked really really hard for this. Just wow.

DeFazio wiped the floor with crazy-assed Art Robinson. Dems cleaned up in Oregon, leaving Repubs in the dust. I’ll be happier when the far right are relegated to the dustbin of history.
President Obama.
I just had to say that once again, it sounds absolutely beautiful.

Wait. Did Michelle Bachmann lose? I don’t believe it. Maybe people really believed she was a secret Canadian.
Alison
SO MUCH HAPPY. Also Joe Walsh getting the ax is wonderful.
I’m sad my dumb state – or at least, the redneck inland/northern parts – seem to have defeated the death penalty repeal…but…other than that, lots of great stuff tonight.
And four more years of pretending the Obamas are my real family. (I love my family but come on, the Obamas are so great.)

Bachmann’s not gone yet. At the moment, CNN has her up 1600 votes (out of 290,000) with 86% reporting. But it’s kind of gratifying that it’s even going down to the wire.

I look forward to January 2013, when B. Hussein Obama will be sworn in as the loser of the First Presidential Debate held in Denver (the wording of the oath will be slightly different).

@Spankyslappybottom: Happy 50 Spanky. Me too: 50 last Sept. It’s a lot better than they told you it would be, huh?
Odie Hugh Manatee
Pat Freaking Caddell was on Faux saying that Republicans have to expand the party or get used to losing.
Good luck with that. Not really… :)
He also said that the Tea Party press announcement about getting a true conservative to run next time was not what the Republican party needs.
I think his brain is malfunctioning, he’s sounding reasonable.

Minnesota GOP got severely spanked, both state House and Senate flip. Chip Cravaak has conceded.
Big night in MN.
And that jackass Chuck Todd didn’t look at any return details when he made his asshole statement earlier this eve that Mitt lost MN by 4, should have contested harder.
No, jackass, Minneapolis hadn’t reported in yet. Anyone above hack-grade would have checked that before shooting off. Looks like Obama will win MN by about 8.5 pts.
Cris (without an H)
LOL. When you walk around with your eyes closed, reality does tend to encounter you in a stunning fashion.

Might be a bit early to call the MN-06 contest. West is probably going down because with 99% in he’s down by about 2300.

@Odie Hugh Manatee:
The saner Republican pundits are making those points too. But the Tea Partiers in their midst think Romney was too moderate. They’ll want full-on crazy in 2016 and when they lose even bigger they’ll be in an even bigger uncontrollable rage than they are now.
Odie Hugh Manatee
Nate Silver and Sam Wang are number gods…
they got Moe Lane to finally concede that the polls were right.
OK, I was kidding. Moe saw Mitt lost, as the polling predicted.
Still, Nate and Sam are the gods of numbers.
@smith:
Ahhh, to be old, white and angry…
NOT!

@slag: Bachmann is leading by 1/2 a point with 86% of the precincts in.
She’ll probably squeak thru but severely damaged. After her embarrassing run for the W.H, her buddy Chip loosing, the MN lege flipping by big margins, she’s part of a failing state party.

Reading Victoria Jackson’s twitter feed is a riot. She is so clueless, it borders on insanity.
My wingnut friends and acquaintances are oh so very quiet tonight. Not one FB message, tweet, etc.

Just got back from the Obama victory party in Cleveland, OH. I feel really happy that I came here. I met so many wonderful people. New Yorkers rock! In the midst of Sandy’s troubles more than 400 of us came to Ohio to help win the state for the good guys.

Sometimes I think Victoria Jackson has early onset Alzheimer or some other condition, cause her crazy is just so clinical seeming. But also very funny:

I-502 passed in Washington State. This is something – along with a black president – that I never imagined in my lifetime. I will probably break a 6-year personal prohibition in response, but it’s no substitute for drink…

Prop 30 is ahead, and gaining, but unfortunately, prop 34 is still losing. Boo.

Bachmann now under 50%. Still leading, but the 811 write-in candidates have puller her margin down to 49.95% to Graves’ 49.76%.

That may be a joke. I, like much of the world have popped a celebratory cork with you Americans. Thank sweet zombie Jesus. I don’t think I felt this much relief when Obama won in ’08.
Back then we’d all come to terms with the fact that you were all seemingly in love with the Texas simian and apparently wouldn’t vote for anyone with fancy book-learnin’. This time it was Obama or the abyss and you guys delivered. Thank you.

Michelle Obama, obviously. She probably wouldn’t take the job, but just the suggestion might cause Scalia, Alito, Thomas, and/or Roberts to stroke out. And then President Obama could nominate two (or three) more liberals!

WTF is wrong with Minnesota?
Bachmann is a product of gerrymandering; they chose her voters to match her — affluent retired white suburban Protestant evangelicals dominate her district.
One of the best ways to change Minnesota politics would be to hit investigative reporter Sally Jo Sorenson’s tip jar at Bluestem Prairie

Victoria Jackson is puh-thet-ic. I can’t imagine that if she had a lot of Christian fans, she’s kept them by telling them they’re collectively disgusting.
