Happy?
If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands.
So how did the elections work out for you?
Do you have a hangover?
Did you get any sleep last night?
Let’s talk about it.

We'll have to wait and see if the Democrats can prove themselves worthy of our continued support. This should send a message to both parties, never undermine or underestimate the will of the people.
But on the state level, we did keep Dick DeVos out of the governor's seat. And that made me happy.
The shame in Wisconsin is the overwhelming passage of the death penalty and the gay marriage amendment, otherwise, the balance of power in the house is refreshing and a relief in my eyes.
The Senate is still too close to call as of the news this morning, but gains wrere made in the Senate by the Dems. That, too, is a good thing in my opinion.
Now, it's time to hold to the fire the feet of the ones we elected to repeal the Military Commisions act and get us out of the war in Iraq. Another pririty is to repeal any laws and bu$hco written statements that undermine any part of the Constitution.
Yes, hungover, and it feels good. Democracy lives. And here in Michigan, it's sweet to see DeVos, the Bush clone, go down.
I see you have a brand new blue Representative! Marvelous. We almost made it, but things are better and we have a chance to stop the insanity.
Can you hear me clapping?
I slept very well thank you. Hum, this bottle of Peppermint Schnapps is empty, I wonder who was here in the night. LOL
A new day with a new beginning? We shall see.
Happy, pleasantly surprised, not surprised about some things. The dust is still settling. My liberal Democrat Rep. Doggett got approx. 70% of the vote! We were put in his district after they un-did some of the TomDelay-mandering aimed at getting rid of him and other Dems. Some things work out, some things get better, sometimes anyway!
I'm deliriously clapping here in the state of New York. Dems as far as the eye can see. W00t!!!!
No big changes here in California. The Gropenfurher is still in charge, but he was actually the pick of the litter, so I'm not surprised or disappointed. I'm thrilled that Bob Casey and the voters of Pennsylvania handed Rick Sanitorium-bound his ass in a bucket. And I'm so pleased we have control of the House now.
Rick Santorum lost his job.
I couldn't be happier.
First time a Chaffee hasn't been in office in what 30 years ? I'm good lol
I'm just hoping Webb will hold on to that narrow lead to be my Senator here in the purple state of Virginia. (Sure we elect morons for president, but we usually make up for it by electing Democrats as Governor and, hopefully, to the Senate.)
It's a good morning for America and the world. I have already had calls from friends across the pond in England and France telling me they were excited and glad to see America was voting to hand Bush his hat. We now have to see if the people we elected can follow through on their promises and start turning America back to the path.
The Democrats have penetrated Indiana.
I mean they flipped 3 seats.
I got a little sleep -- and I'm preparing to head back to bed now. I planned ahead and took today and tomorrow off work ahead of time, anticipating this sort of thing happening.
i'm pretty f-ing pleased here in western nc. our boy heath shuler (red democrat though he may be) will be new in the job, so maybe we can train him up right. as far as i'm concerned, the sooner taylor gets his worse-than-useless-crony-enabling ass out of the our taxpayer-funded office the better.
and it's my two-year blogging anniversary.
i can't stop grinning. it's really pissing off my husband :))))
On the way out to the garage from the condo this morning, I treated the neighborhood to my somewhat off-key whistling of "OH! What a Beautiful Morning".
Oh what a beautiful day.
I've got a beautiful feeling...
We still have a Democratic governor, and despite sending another Repub. to the house in my district (no surprise there) - he's a Freshman, and maybe enough correspondence can sway him in the CORRECT (left) direction!
Oh what a beautiful morning!!!!
I feel great. I cried and cried watching that Santorum concession speech. I cried for those poor twisted looking kids he has reared and prayed they turn to drugs, not politics.
I was overjoyed for Clarie MacCaskill. Overjoyed. How those Missourians sucked it up and voted for that Cloning Candidate, I will never know, but she did some fine old-fashioned grass roots campaigning.
I was overjoyed to see Lampson beat that three-named lady like a bass drum.
Bluegirl, I am happy you kept Doggett. We're stuck with Lamar Smith.
Hairspray Perry has four more years of glorified grooming in the Governor's Mansion.
Tom DeLay was crying big crocodile tears, moaning how Nancy Pelosi was going to stick it to the little people with her tax increases.
Watiting for Webb. I am not a huge fan, but the Devil himself would be better than MacacaMan.
Katherine Harris, how does she plan to keep that Sears Weatherbeater paint in place on her face now? Even Sears Weatherbeater can peel off during a Tsunami.
I can't wait to see Bush's choice words this afternoon. I hope he shows up with puffy eyes and a new, unexplained scratch on his face.
Cheers, people, cheers!
I had to work from 6:30 PM to 6:30 AM, so basically I'm just weary and my feet are sore. But it was nice to hear that the Dems won the House. The Senate's still up for grabs. I voted for Jim Webb, but I have no idea who the winner in that contest will be. Too bad the Democrats had to go and completely piss me off earlier this fall when they ho-hummed their way through Bush's signing of that pro-torture bill -- I might have offered my services to Webb's campaign.
And George Allen might have called Webb to concede last night. Inconvenient things happen when people make me mad, it can't be helped...
You have to be happy that the voice of discontent was heard clearly yesterday. Let's hope this starts the ball rolling and we can make significant changes in how dysfunctional the government has become.
I'm beginning to recognize this new landscape ahead. Yup that looks familar and that to....wait ...wait.....
OH MY! It's my country and is on the way back.
Still lots of battles to fight so we can send the GOP packing in 2008.
But it's a start
I was archly informed that singing in the bathroom at 3 in the morning was not a family approved activity. Hmmph! It is now!:) Now comes the hard part. Do we have the responsibility to show the nation and the world we're not the losers we were painted to be? Pelosi seems determined to prove we are..(:
I have a hangover from no sleep. Best hangover of my life.
Okay let's get crackin in overturning that veto!
If you're happy and you know it...
Was up till 4:30 AM Pacific time hoping there'd be some update in Virginia or Montana. No Santorum, no Frist, no Katherine Harris, maybe no George Allen.....maybe no Conrad Burns....no Tom Delay.
no Speaker Hastert....no Richard Pombo
Stay up and cleaned House!
It's a refreshing feeling just knowing that Bush, Rove, etc. are furious at the results. That alone makes me very happy.
Can you imagine the screaming and foot stomping that took place last night? Poor little Boyking must have thrown a big temper tantrum, LOL!
And surprise, Rummy just got the boot. I thought he was ging to "stay the course". Here's hoping for that last Senate seat. Now W has to play with the other branches of government--just like the Constitution says. Let's hope that he now gets paid back for the last six years.
Hiccup! Feelin' Groovy! Except...Awnuld is back!!!!!!
It's not easy being blue in this red state.... (Georgia)
but at least Shrub's last minute appearances here didn't seem to shift those seats.....
slept like a baby...didn't see any results till this morning
and then tears of joy all day long...
things keep getting better...time to clean house!
I woke in the middle of the night and checked the results on the computer. When I saw that Talent had conceded in Missouri and there was a chance that the Dems were going to take Montana and Virginia, I could not go back to sleep. I was so excited. The news has been good all day.
Blackwell conceded Ohio 'round noon on Tuesday! Red State my arse!
Laughin' that right off!
Good work all. Now let's hope the Dems don't drop the stinkin' ball.
Right now I am happier than a pig in slop!
I think we need to savor all of this for a bit, let it wash over us.
Miles to go...
Very little sleep and most definetly a hangover - still waiting on the edge of my seat for the probability of a recount here in VA - but I think the remaining votes are coming from Webb friendly areas.
no hangover last night. But I hope to have one tomorrow ;-).
You better believe that I have been in a very good mood today. I do have to go back to work in a few hour though. That might take the edge off.
I was wired on some kind of manic energy lol.
All natural and my own.
Then I did I happy dance.
The most fun has been laughing at Bush's face today. It's disturbing how much fun it is!
If your happy and you know it and you really want to show it if you're happy and you know it clap your hands!
CLAP!
CLAP!
I said the Dems would win the House by 5, wow was I Happily wrong.
The Dems will get the Senate.
How rare that I get everything that I asked for.
I have been saying for a year that Pelosi, Reid, and Dean are a disappointment to me.
Dems have to do some serious work or we will lose the Whitehouse in 08'.
The neo-cons are dead ! TG !
What is Delay doing speaking for the Repubs? They better tell that guy to disappear before he does them more damage.
Can we finally get rid of:
Rush, Medved, Falwell, Robertson, Hanity, Savage, the idea of changing the Constitution for every little petty disagreement, Santorum(TG he's gone), hate for minorities of every description, government that dictates, arrogant leaders, moral hypocites, VooDoo economics, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on..................
Welcome conservatives to where America lives !
Happy very let me tell you I discovered a new way to drink Magaritta's you take the blender and dip the rim in the salt and make those drinks from there it saved a lot of time having to check out the polls and all but I did vote in confidence that we would rise and reign once again, what's Bush gonna do now, he's gonna loose control in his mid-term he doesn't know who he can bullshit and who he can't his guard is up he doesn't trust nobody, his buddies are gone gone gone, I expect him to veto a lot of bills just to get even, he can't stand defeat, but it won't be long and he'll be bunted off the hill, too. After all didn't he say to vote Replubican what does that tell you he knows he's in for a rocky road ahead.
8:40pm and the AP and NBC are saying that Webb is, has the seat. that means we have the Senate...there is a sentence that 24 hours ago I would not have perdicted I would be saying...POP and all the Bloggers here- thank you so much for all of your hard work...it mattered...
I feel stunned, like dancing on the roof of my old building and throwing confetti....and singing off key real loud...and I have been watching that FREEDOM Video all day ( you know the one - the George Micheal one...)
I have Hope again....I hope others do too...
I'm clapping with you!
No hangover, no sleep, but lots of good news!
Let us keep trudging forward...
Peace.
Hi, Pat...yes I'm dancing nude in the streets. The House, Senate & Rummy all at once. It's more than I'd hoped and I can't quit smiling. Hay, we may need to check to see if Hell is freezing over. LOL

Goodness me, there may be some hope for you after all. But don't lose sight of the goal: in the words of a man whose words and deeds would not brand him a conservative in the modern mould:
"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps, the end of the beginning" - Winston Churchill, 10th November, 1942
Kia kaha, America!
I'm late to the blog pary, but I'll give ya a HIGH FIVE anyway! I'm pleased and hoping it's not too damned late!
So how did the elections work out for you?
Not so well locally, but Indiana as a whole went blue!
Do you have a hangover?
Nah. . .I drank it off. .
Did you get any sleep last night?
Best sleep I've had in 6 years!
Let’s talk about it.
This turned out better than our wildest dreams. Now let's just be sure we don't f it up!
