Look at us go.
The Zweeble was having a rough night last night, so I was huddling in my bedroom, next to my sleeping husband, refreshing CNN, the NY Times, Making Light, and Fivethirtyeight. Hoping, but cautious.
At 11:01, I refreshed CNN and suddenly the entire West Coast was blue, and I just ... sat there. Hands to my face. Thinking, Oh, wow. Look at us go. And also, Bruce Schneier was right--everyone was just waiting until the west coast polls closed to call it.
Then the baby was crying again, so I shut it all down and got him situated, and went to bed. And then this morning, I got up and found out that Florida went for Obama.
Amendment 2 went through. So did Prop. 8, in California. That sucks. That makes me angry and sad.
But ... I have more pride in my country right now than I have in years. I look at our President-elect, and I look forward to voting to repeal those stupid amendments. Because it'll happen. Today I'm sure of it.
