Anyone else feeling 6 years of sorrow lifted all at once?

[casus belli]

I feel lighter. Free-er. And so ready for the tough work we have ahead of cleaning up after the kids threw a part while we were gone.

God, I love this country. This wonderful, beautiful democracy of ours. Thank you America, for taking back our country!

[blue cat]

1. Did someone say...

something about taking my country back?

3. no. that freak is still in the White House

This victory is beautiful but the only thing missing is a Dem in the White House.

[tridim]

2. Yep. It's definitely a euphoric feeling

I haven't felt it since before Clinton's bullshit impeachment.

[Maven]

4. Yes. I feel HOPE for the first time in a long time.

[Raine]

5. YES an ENORMOUS weight

has been lifted off our country. :bounce:

6. Hell yes.!!!!!!!!! n/t

7. I am feeling a good deal of that myself - what a great night!

(n/t)

[Thegonagle]

8. I am, but there's a lot of work to do.

Let the impeachment proceedings begin!

And let my sister's 2000 prediction that George W. Bush would resign in infamy come true.

Oh, and then there's the media consolidation issue.

And the fairness doctrine.

And health care.

And the environment.

And corporate "personhood...."

9. It feels good

I'm still a little nervous about VA and MT, but I think when it's all said and done we win them both and take back the senate. It is a great night for America.

[Phredicles]

10. Better, but not ALL better until

the whole Shrub gang are behind bars.

[shanti]

11. no, i don't feel free

we still have that goddam repuke actor in charge. :(

[deadparrot]

12. This feeling is pretty incredible,

but I want to DO something with the power given to us. Time to start healing this country.

[cynatnite]

13. There is a light at the end of the dark tunnel...

the nightmare won't be over until bush and cheney are gone.

[kysrsoze]

14. I feel like $100

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. First thing tomorrow morning I'm going to put my flag back up.

I took it down on November 3, 2004.

[0rganism]

16. 14 years, it's been 14 long years...

This kind of puts Lieberman in a position of power with which I'm not entirely comfortable, tho.

[NastyRiffraff]

17. Y'all are right that we have to work hard...

But right now, tonight, I'm BASKING in it!! The OP said it best....Thank you, America!

[InvisibleTouch]

18. Definitely getting there.

It hasn't totally sunk in yet, probably because I'm so tired from my recent personal battles - but by tomorrow I know I will fully savor the experience. Might even have some random thoughts on the matter, about how it is that things work out for the best sometimes (Howard Dean's contribution to our victory, etc.). For now, I shall have to head out for the night, much as I'd like to wait for those last two states to come in to give us the Senate. Whether we win the Senate or not, though, I feel safer tonight, more peaceful, more hopeful than I have in a long time.

[JCMach1]

19. 12 long years!!!

:party:

[TheWraith]

20. Right now, I just feel tired.

I think I'm going to collapse. It needs a day or so to sink in.

[redacted]

21. Yes, exactly.
