A load is lifted and I feel like a new person...
I've been up since 4:00 am, vac'd, washed clothes, cleaned the kitchen, lined up supper and feel like a new person. I'm free, again! It's amazing how low and scared I was. Let's not lose the momentum.

Congratulations, Dems and DU!

9. Joined a while back
But I lurk here most of the time because of the way this board works and because I post on other msg. boards.


Thanks for the welcome. And a HUGE THANKS to Doctor Dean for one of the sunniest mornings in America in a long time!

5. I have a strange feeling
I think it's HOPE. The country has been under such a black cloud of fear-mongering, doom, hatred, division, lies, disenfranchisement of the MAJORITY, corruption... the likes of which I've never seen. A great weight has been lifted!

7. I'm there too
I feel so hopeful and ready to see some changes made, some progressive agenda items addressed instead of the regressive and punitive ones the other guys preferred.

I'm also excited that we did have a fair election, since I was afraid that we wouldn't. I guess the poll watchers made a difference too.

I can't stop smiling and I can't even be annoyed at my children who are slow as anything getting ready for school!

I am so glad this season had a different ending. I can honestly say: I was wrong. I thought the votes would be stolen again, and the republicans would squeeze by.
