Election Night Online Cocktail Party

[Saxton]

Networks just called it for Obama!

Well folks, I have to get up at 5:30am so I'm off to bed now. It was great sharing a moment in history with all of you!

 

[jlewisinsyr]

Congratulations Barack Obama.

Change has swept this country and it looks like the Democrats will have majority in both the House and Senate. Possibly even securing a filibuster proof majority.

 

[rpmdfw]

I'm out of here too.

Night y'all!

 

[jlewisinsyr]

But it still looks like we've lost on Amendment 2.

Crushed is more the word...

I know you disagree with my stance (just a note, I don't believe any constitution should be used to take away rights), but maybe its time for a new tactic.

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

How bittersweet is this? Change for the country, regression for Florida.

Are you watching CHICAGO? What a party!

If there is any left, I'll have a drop of that champagne OrlandoMike!

 

[OrlandoMike]

There is plenty!

I only poured a taste cuz I have to work tomorrow am.

But watching this party in Chicago I just had to have a taste!

I can live with the Fla #2 thing, sad as it is, it was already against the law.

We need to now start working on the federal level, now that we have some friends up there!

I am happy with the presidential race, and I am hopeful that we can work for change. Please know that DH and I will do anything we can to move this country towards equality. We are proud to stand with the GLBT community.

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Thanks Mike! You share nice! Yes, I know it was already illegal, but I was so hoping...

Maybe now all Americans can be equal, eh?

'girl, you are one classy chicka!

 

[zulemara]

McCain is conceding! I could cry I'm so happy

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Did you see Jesse? He is crying.

And Florida for Obama! That gives me a glimmer of hope.

May the promise of this night be fulfilled.

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Any news on 8 in CA?

 

[OrlandoMike]

Florida went for Obama?

Oh now I am crying!

 

[jlewisinsyr]

McCain's speech is touching. He is a good man, and being so gracious to concede. I have no ills to him, he is a good person.

 

[zulemara]

Florida went for Obama?

Oh now I am crying!

it has not been called, but obama has been leading by 150-200k all night long

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Yeah Mike. That one did me in too.

I agree, 'cuse. Class speech. And you know? I believe him now more than I ever did. He really is allowing his sincerety to shine through.

 

[jlewisinsyr]

Florida went for Obama?

Oh now I am crying!

I don't think it's been announced yet, but at 86% reporting, Obama has the lead by around 150,000 votes.

 

[OrlandoMike]

I really liked McCain 4 years ago...

Now.... has anyone told Sarah yet?

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

It was on one of the stations I'm flipping through...

They just showed Sarah. She's struggling to maintain her composure.

 

[jlewisinsyr]

FL has just been called, it goes to Obama.

 

[OrlandoMike]

They just scanned McCains audience... Lots of angry old white men, go figure.

I may have to have another glass of champagne for Obama!

DVC/OKW want to help me kill this bottle!?
