1. We were damn close...
I think a collective sigh of relief occured on 11/7/06. We have to fix the system so we never get that close again.

8. The phrase I saw on DU a few weeks ago was:
"No, it's POST-July 4, 1776 thinking!"

6. Very true. I keep sighing a sigh of relief, over & over.
A big, gigantic weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

9. It was frightening
I, for one was terrified that we would lose again.
Especially when the early voting had the Dem votes flipping to Repugs. They have been gutting the Constitution.

10. I honestly believe that November 7 was our very last chance. 2008
would have been too late.
