FYI to DU: This is what winning feels like.
Keep this feeling close, Tend it, cherish it.

Above all, remember it when the inevitable I-won't-vote-for-so-and-so-no-matter-what horseshit starts up on the eve of 2008.

It's coming.

When it does, remember this night, and this feeling.

Remember the axiom:

WIN FIRST, THEN GOVERN.

Remember.

2. my eyes on the prize
Take It Where You Find It

Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it

Take it where you find it
Can't leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

Many's the road I have walked upon
Many's the hour between dusk and dawn
Many's the time
Many's the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child

Take it where you find it
Can't leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it


Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America

And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream

Take it where you find it
Can't leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it


Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin' about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over

I'm gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I'm gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I'm gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I'm gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

(Van Morrison)

9. Ugh
We have the House.

That was an absurd possibility only three months ago.

Make an effort to enjoy a win.

14. I feel good.
It feels really, really good to win. My local races went well, although those were squeakers, too. I am going to get some sleep, wash my hair, put some groceries in the fridge, then start thinking about GOTV strategy for 08.

15. it still hasn't quite sunk in yet
Maybe because my district (CT-02) is still counting, with the good guys holding a slight lead, last I checked.

But, I'm guessing that it won't really sink in for a few days.
