1. Amazing, isn't it!
I will fight until my dying day for the right and privilege of casting my vote.

2. I'm a "beware the worst possible case scenario" sort of guy, but I voted.
Despite my dipping into lower realms, it's really in the interest of understanding and correcting against the problems we face. This isn't over, but is a marvelous step in the right direction!

3. Good God Almighty (or who/whatever you prefer) I was sooo
damn sick of those friggin' threads. I finally had to say something to a couple of the whine bags that just couldn't stifle the impulse to whine and piss their pants all over the board. And their 'we need to talk about this because it could happen, we need to be prepared'. All they did was piss all over everybody's Post Toasties. And that's all they wanted to do I guess. Must have made them feel good.

6. wow
you still sound as rotten as ever.

i for one, am VERY HAPPY and DO NOT regret being CAUTIOUS.

it's amazing on a day like this, you still have to be so CONDESCENDING.

I celebrated with wine and a shot for Blackwell's loss. I am quite happy today :toast: :bounce:

8. I am happy today, and still see a need to be cautious.
There is a very large machine installed in politics that is a danger to us all and we must continue to work against it, as it is self-perpetuating and worse, creates causes and conditions for its own survival.

But I am happy today. We have the opportunity to rise higher than we have been before and I merely lament the obstacles and their actions as we work toward greater illumination and freedom.

9. OF course we are going to vote!!!!!!!!
But the point is to not lie to ourselves and be in denial if/when/again another OHIO 2004 happens again. They stole it in 2004 by hook and crook. This time it really wasn't close enough to steal, however, until the machines are changed, and voting is a RIGHT in this country, the poor, the Black, the underpriveledged that VOTE DEMOCRATIC will always have to be scraping for every vote instead of the landslide that we could have. It must change.
