Oh what a night my friends. I couldn't breathe easy until it was called for Ohio. Until then, I was a wreck. ... These shots were taken by my girlfriend, who doesn't have her own account here (yet:)) ... We found a great spot in downtown Philly with a few hundred of our like-minded brethren. And afterward, the car horns were honking all down Market Street. Pix below ...

I don't know what to make of this yet. And I searched for any other diaries on this, haven't seen it.

I find it's usually fruitless arguing with republicans. I've got very few republican friends left these days, and for the most part, we leave each other alone :)

But I have gotten into it with this guy, and cannot shake him loose. I tried to say - "look, what I believe seems as obvious as the nose in front of my face, and you feel what you believe is obvious to you - we're not going to change each other's mind." ... But he can't let it go. He says our positions are not irreconcilable -- so then I come back with facts, and he just then retorts with more pejorative nonsense.

But anyway, let's boil down his latest screed to me - and then maybe you can help me respond. Here's what he says (it will sound familiar if you've ever dealt with these people).

Not a big surprise, I guess, given recent polling. But it's a shame that the 50-state strategy won't follow through all the way until Election Day.

Obama closed the 11 field offices in North Dakota last night, and gave workers the option of working in Minnesota or Wisconsin. By comparison there's at least 50 offices in Minnesota.

No democrat has won North Dakota since 1964 (Lyndon Johnson). John Kerry got 36% in 2004. But Obama was polling pretty closely until recently. I was told by a staffer there that the Palin bounce never dissipated in North Dakota.

According to the LA Times blog - McCain never had any offices there. Guess he doesn't need them. The Times also said that Obama has essentially given up previously in Georgia, Idaho and Alaska.

You can call me a 'concern troll' if you want, that's fine. You can go back and see how long I've been posting here if you want. It is true that many of posts are often a scolding of the lefties for going to far ... but consider that tough love :) ... I want the democrats to win, and many people here do them no favors.

Dozens of protesters lashed out at a plan to thin the human herd, causing the Grand High Council to curtail its activities for now.

First diary entry in forever - and only because my comment was buried in the 2300 on the New Yorker cartoon.

My point in my comment, I'll repeat here:

Did anyone else notice that the only comment on that original New Yorker/Obama diary by the original diarist, is one where the diarist says he/she is laughing at the cartoon???

Go back and check. Reef the Dog ... Makes the post ... then ... the diarist writes a comment calling the Cartoon hilarious.

I'm sorry -- all this bullshit about how I shouldn't panic ... I went through this same b.s. with Dean.

I sat there in Iowa and in New Hampshire, and heard from Deanies telling me not to panic - because, hey, wait, this area is not coming in yet and that area is not coming in yet. And I was just disgused and depressed in the end anyway.

These number are a complete unmitigated disaster. Stop kidding yourself people. Do what I have done -- drink jagermeister, take a hit of heroine, and medicate yourself into a stupor. I'm halfway there.

Sorry - but these numbers are doom. I cannot fucking believe I'm going to live through 4 more years of this asswipe. Does anyone know the phone number of the Toronto chamber of commerce?

Is anyone watching election results in Philly or Bucks County?

I am done with babysitting duties at 11 p.m. - and I'm looking for people who are in this for the long haul ... who don't mind staying up late and getting liquored up together, and either celebrating ... or drowning our sorrows.

I'd rather not do this alone. ... Is anything going on right now?

FYI - I drove people to the polls today. I am personally responsible for 4 extra votes in this state. I feel proud.

This is MY fuc*ing problem.

I'm channeling my friend Theoria for this one.

Sorry, this is not your ordinary diary. Sorry for wasting bandwidth. I had nowhere else to turn, and admittedly, this is probably nothing more than a shameless ploy for sympathy ... These are the kinds of depths you sink to when your heart has been ripped out and dragged on the floor.

Let's forget that Pat Buchanan called Tim Russert "Chris" this morning on Meet the Press, and talk about the substance.

Let me preface by saying, as from a Jewish family, I was reared to believe Pat Buchanan was an anti-semite. It's easy to interpret the things he says as anti-Semitic. I made the quip in 2000 that it was pretty ironic that all my alter cocker Jewish relatives in Florida mistakenly voting for Buchanan is what cost Gore the election.

By the same token, even during the time I believe he was a rabid anti-Semite, I couldn't help but also think that -- if not for that -- he says a lot of very astute things from time to time, and you can't help but at least pay attention to him.
