Election results!

[tanaqui]

Use this post to talk about the results.

Are there any (unexpectedly) good results in your district or state? Or in districts where you've been volunteering though organisations like Swing Left or Sister District? Are there any results you're excited about for candidates outside your district that you've been following/donating to (perhaps from the various slates we've posted)?

Share the squee or commiserate about near misses!

Re: Democrat Jared Polis wins Colorado governor race

Yeah, this is fucking awesome. We were never gonna take the Senate, despite the WAVE hype. It would have had to be tsunami like you said, and that was dumb hype.

Oh, Tom. I am old enough to remember when Brokaw his buds did news. With no commentary. Just fucking news. I don't know how this guy even looks at today's news broadcasters with a straight face. I watched mostly CNN, but even they were OMG NOW TRUMP WILL PAYYY! Which, ok, yes yay, but dude. NEWS. JUST GIVE ME NEWS. I can come to DW to squee! /get off my lawn.

AHAHAHA, my dad was a news writer/reporter and worked with Jennings and would sit there and analyze the Big Three network anchors with me and it was pretty fascinating. He was just flabberghasted at what news had turned into.

Meanwhile a NINETY-THREE VOTE DIFFERENCE in MN, holy fucking shit. There are a LOT of close races.

"The Alaska house race!" the MSNBC guy says with totally forced enthusiasm. Heh, I bet they want to just go home and go to bed.

I admit. Tom was my fave. I had a crush. I was a weird kid.

It's all over but the beer, dudes, go home.

I loved Peter Jennings. Mostly because he was Canadian. :D
