The best goddamn day since I've been posting on DU.

[Old and In the Way]

25,000+ posts ago. It should have started in 2004....but we finally have America thinking like we do.


2008 is going to be worse for the Republican Syndicate.....

[Blue_Roses]

1. Hallelujah!

It's about damn time:applause:

[AwakeAtLast]

2. I have to agree w/ you

:toast:

:bounce:

:woohoo:

[Lex]

3. Agreed.

Finally!

[steve2470]

4. I agree with you !

Only way we can lose 2008 is if we chicken out and do not do our oversight investigations.

[Greybnk48]

5. Best day since I got here in fall of '04.

[Rex]

6. I hear you, my friend.

What a night!

[blue cat]

7. I know

I've been having a virtual party all night. Great food and wine. It has been inspiring.

[pamela]

8. Me, too!

I'm actually crying, I'm so damn happy.

[quinnox]

9. Great day n/t

[bermudat]

10. I was afraid to let my guard down after 2004.

I am ecstatic. I'm going to bed now, but it will feel like Xmas if Webb is the winner in Virginia when I wake up Wednesday morning.

[johnnyrocket]

11. November 2000, the day the nightmare started for me....

...are we finally waking up?....to a bright new day!

[Raine]

12. Agreed

I LOVE it!!! :bounce:

[mconvente]

13. DRINK TO THAT!!

Hells yeah!! DU ROCKS!! :yourock: :toast:

[Liberal In Texas]

14. I'm with ya...

If we can keep the pressure up, maybe we can get our country back from the dark side.

[OwnedByFerrets]

15. The only thing unfortunate about winning tonite......

is that it took "the worse president ever" to wake america up to his deceit.
I too am celebrating so very much. I am so happy in my heart. I also want to see what comes tomorrow.

[kitkat65]

16. Agreed. At 11,000+ posts. Been here since after the 2004 election

and I live in Ohio.

[Rocknrule]

17. I feel like Gryffindor when they beat Slytherin in the Quidditch Cup

[Tommymac]

18. It's a BEAUTIFUL DAY!

:grouphug:

[blossomstar]

19. Glory, Glory, Glory!!!! Amen!

[fishwax]

20. I've been here since damn near the beginning

through some ups and through some very, very bad times ('02 and '04). Tonight is sweet.

[Downtown Hound]

21. Wonderful day!

I remember how depressed and close to total despair I was after 2004. What a long way we've come from then!

[Pachamama]

22. For the first time in 6 years, I feel there is truly hope!

We can't let down our guard, we have lots of work to do....But this has been the best damn news in 6 years that gives me hope that we can save our democracy (what has been left ungutted) yet!

:patriot:

[lildreamer316]

23. Preach it brother!

[T Town Jake]

24. It's been a great day to be a DUer, but an even better day to be an American!

...this has been a fantastic day & evening all the way around.

[DenaliDemocrat]

25. Damned Straight

[maseman]

27. Right there with you brotha's and sista's

Happy fucking dance!

[pnorman]

26. YOU SPEAK FOR ALL OF US!

And we can all pat each other on the back, for hanging in there in the face of such seeming HOPELESSNESS. For about the fifth time or so, I'll post my all-time favorite quote:

"When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before." --- Jacob Riis

It's a long way from over, and we had better not lower our guard for a second. Karl Rove has yet to have
that oaken stake "open-heart surgery", but his time will come!

[mmonk]

28. With you on that.

[cynatnite]

29. Finally...

The US feels a little saner tonight.

[Skittles]

30. AMERICA FINALLY PULLING ITS HEAD OUT

F***ING FINALLY

[joshcryer]

31. AGREE 100%

AGREE 100% Jesus Christ it's been a tough 6 years. MAN.

[dweller]

32. patience is a virture brother

and anger is a mighty tool wielded precisely.

so few trusted the vintage of the teardrops ageing in the teacups, and how heady they have become.
tonite, it has uncorked.

[stevedeshazer]

33. According to your profile, you're now at 24,999

So go ahead. I'm here with high fives. :)

[morningglory]

34. Exactly. I feel real joy after this long 6 year hell.

[Radio_Lady]

35. Excellent! Kicked and recommended.

Good night and good luck!

[mirandapriestly]

36. We DO still live in a democracy!

I'm embarrassed because I was SO defeated and getting myself ready for the worst, I can't believe this!!(I still think a lot of election fraud & dirty tricks have to be investigated though)

[Hubert Flottz]

37. Me too!

Ain't it nice? Don't it feel good to win for a change?

[bling bling]

38. Agreed. I feel the pent up anger subsiding for once in 6 years.

Thank you to all who voted for the Dems today. If we get control of the Senate I can relax a little for a change, knowing the government will have some checks and balance again.

[clyrc]

39. Oh yes!

FINALLY the tears in my eyes after an election are from happiness and not total devastation.

[demobabe]

40. It is!

Cheers to all!

42. Group hug!

:grouphug:

I can only hope that the news is even better tomorrow.

[Stephanie]

43. So true, so true

Music to my ears just now on CNN: "This is a strong REBUKE to the president."

We were years ahead of the curve, but that's why we're here!

:hi:

[Straight Shooter]

44. Amen!

:toast:

[Guaranteed]

45. I just hit 22K today. Easily the best day ever. nt

[Oak2004]

46. Celebrate today, but stay dilligent and determined

The Repigs are down but not out. They still have their propaganda machine. They still have their political structure. And we still have an "I"INO who holds the balance of power in the Senate via Republican-financed defiance of the will of the Democratic Party.

It will take years of work to exterminate this crime syndicate. We've struck the first big blow. Congratulations to us and to the American people. But we have a lot more fighting to do.

Frankly we will not win until a great many of them are in Leavenworth or The Hague. Remember this batch of crooks are the same people who got thrown out on their ears with Watergate. They're the same ones that wriggled out of Iran-Contra. This time we can't let them off the hook, until they are roundly and solidly and utterly discredited and convicted forevermore in the eyes of history.

[DrDebug]

47. Agreed

I first discovered this board after the election two years and that was a time of sorrow. It is now time of joy.

Old and In the Way, things are turning around. There are finally brakes on the run away Bush train. :toast:

[mconvente]

48. Cheers to that!

I'll drink to that! :toast:

I'm soooooooo proud of DUers and the netroots tonight!!

[mhatrw]

49. You the man!

:toast:

[Gelliebeans]

50. I hear ya,

boy has it been a long time since I have felt a calm over me.

[Reverend_Smitty]

51. It's a great night to be a Democrat!

it's also the first time in a long time I've been able to say that

[chookie]

52. With a little help from...

...sane Republicans. And authentic conservatives. They hate Bush as much/more than "we" do.

[robertpaulsen]

53. Since joining October 14, 2003, I would have to agree.

BEST NIGHT ON DU EVER!!!

[ClayZ]

54. Cheers!

57. Same here.. 5+ years later

[Maeve]

58. This is the way I thought I'd feel two years ago...

Maybe Americans are capable of governing themselves, after all :party:

[PVnRT]

59. Amen

We've never won like this since I joined up back in April 2001. This is very, very nice.

At least for now. The infighting will start up again soon.
