It’s a party up in heah!

There’s some awfully fun blog posts making fun of the repubs who said Kerry’s stupid joke had lost the election for the dems. It makes one think that the repubs gnashing of teeth sounds awfully similar to the dems gnashing of teeth in 2004.
But I’m not going to think about that tonight, because tonight I’m throwing a party in my head. Talent conceded, so McAskill is the new dem senator from Missouri. A dem is ahead in the Montana senate race, with 80% of the vote reported, and democrat Jim Webb goes into the Virginia recount ever so slightly in the lead. If all of these three races go blue, the dems have taken over the House (Welcome to the first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi) and the senate.
Tomorrow (or perhaps in a couple of days) I will deal with the fact that it is unlikely to change much and that we will have to police the hell out of the dems in order to make them any better than the repubs (For one, if the diebold voting machines don’t get the hell out of dodge and if we don’t start immediately making sure that our elections are at least as free and fair as those of third world nations, I’m going to be pissed).
But tonight, there’s a party in my head.
WOOO-HOOOOOOO!
it makes me want to eat pop tarts!
*joins the party* Oh, yeah. Definately a big deal.
So, what would you say to a National election system rather than this local junk? Because obviously letting the states run things doesn’t seem to be working too well. Did you hear about some of the lines in the East?
Oh, and what do you think of Obama? Or are you going to wait to see?
