Virginia’s rural, sparsely populated, Republican counties reported early on. They got everything wrapped up when the polls closed at 7:00, of course. No sweat for them.
Virginia’s densely populated (and Democratic-tending) urban counties, however, mainly in Northern Virginia and the Richmond area, have lines out the door and around the block, and Virginia called a halt to reporting until everybody’s vote had been cast. Virginia late returns have got to favor Obama.
More delicious freeper tears here.
I thought Edelweiss was Christopher Plummer’s big number, not Julie Andrews.
Man, I thought tequila and bongwater was buzz. But Maker’s Mark and Freeper tears? Who says you have to die to go to Heaven?
Living well is the best revenge: one guy I know (a liberal, and a supporter of gun control legislation) bought stock in Smith & Wesson, shortly before the election of 2008, and laughed all the way to the bank.
And, hey, it provides jobs, right?
Not really up on show tunes, I defer to your expertise.
Shit. I started with Wild Turkey about 4pm and haven’t stopped yet.
More space? Flexibility?

Looks like Akin and Mourdock both lost.
I can see Karl Rove or somebody taking the future Republican candidates aside in a big room someplace and saying “Dammit, guys, stop talking about rape! Talk about jobs, talk about the economy, talk about Benghazi–Don’t use the damned R-word!”
I mean, geeze, the morons lost Richard Lugar’s seat.
Clowns. But the circus has left town.
+1. Hard to believe they lost this seat; and it took REAL stupidity to let Claire McCaskill win again. :smack:
I don’t have all the links, but excellent schadenfreude all over Fox News, plus WPost’s Jennifer Rubin’s blog, and anything related to that bitter, shriveled little man, Charles Krauthammer.
This is pretty much the definition of fun. 
Perhaps my favorite bit of schadenfreude so far- Donald Trump’s meltdown.
Ah, but there’s still time. Perhaps some day, his baby girl will settle down with a nice young lady of a different race, and his head will explode.
Personally, I find their tears too earthy. I’m having a nice almond tequila with their crushed dreams around the rim.
Wow. First it was funny, then it got depressing.
The consensus: if our side can’t win, I hope America burns.
For:
Karl Rove
Koch Brothers
Sheldon Adelson
Mitch “One-term president” McConnell
and for poor loser Mitt Romney, who won’t concede Ohio.
Does anyone else find it strange that the Fox talking heads were saying it’s time to start reaching across the aisle and start working together?
No… I think this will happen. (Cockeyed optimist…) They see the writing on the wall: they can do what’s best for the country, or they can stall and fight and delay…and it will hurt the country. I think they have a little true patriotism left.
If they had participated in the health care debate, they could have contributed to “Obamacare,” and helped make it less odious (to their tastes.) By sitting it out entirely, they let the Democrats fashion the program we ended up with.
The duty of the “Loyal Opposition” is to choose fights wisely. Give in on some things, and only stonewall the things that matter the most.
“He who defends everything defends nothing.” Attributed to Frederick II.
I think they learned from history.
Ah, the sweet, sweet taste of electoral victory.
