The Relief


I know I shouldn't expect too much of the new kids on the block, but if those results hadn't gone as they did, I'm not sure you would have heard from me again. I probably would have just started walking away. Who knows where?
Hoping hoping hoping for the Senate.
Low expectations, low expectations. These are the words rolling around, going back and forth.

YES! Ain't it grand to back some winners for a change? I will endeavor to join you in low expectations, but I just feel like something good has to happen. And the new Dem governorships may help with the presidential election in 08. Son and I were talking...he gets to vote in 08! I will have released another flaming liberal into the world. I'm psyched about that. And hey, I just looked at the calendar and I *think* Ros gets to vote in 08 too! This is so exciting.

huge day all around - and now the Senate is ours as well.

don't forget the big news out of South Dakota, as Atrios noted, their rejection of the terrible anti-abortion law reveals that "[b]eing genuinely anti-choice - that is, advocating for legal bans on abortion - is officially an extremist position."

we've been really amused by some of the responses to the democratic victories. i drove up to indy on thursday and listened to rush for a bit. he was going crazy, but he had a little bit of sadness in his voice. which made me chuckle repeatedly.

wanda sykes has a great standup performance on hbo right now. her talk about pro choice is hysterically right on.
don't delay watch it today.

okay...back to trying to put together an ncte talk, the thing i've been talking about for 2 weeks, but somehow never doing. right now i keep trying to figure out what would be a cool foto to put on the title slide. that's probably part of my problem. should save those details for the end. but i've never been a delayed gratification kinda gal.
