[bevoette]

but it seems a little crazy around here, and i'm familiar enough w/ spastic message boards to know that anything i might write right now will be lost in about 5.4 minutes...so i think i'll wait a while before sharing... :)

for now...

i voted for Bush I once, in 1988, and haven't voted major party since then

tonight...i am a Democrat

19. I just figured it out...

Your husband is African American (rather than Alcoholics Anonymous, which was my original interpretation). Yes, welcome to you and your hubby and glad to realize he isn't drunk on his kiester tonight or has fallen off the wagon in the excitement here tonight.

[bevoette]

21. yes, he's african american...

but i never said he wasn't drunk...after all, helluva thing to celebrate ;)

24. I'm proud that Mr. Obama made the party meaningful to you.

For too long the Democratic party has acted as a reaction to the republicans. Tonight we leave behind the triangulation and begin an era of leadership and fighting for our ideals. Let tonight be the final nail in the coffin of the Reagan revolution.
