It ...I wish I'd spent election night with you. It sounds like it was a total blast. I was so sure it was going to be a squeaker, that I couldn't bear the tension and watched a bunch of other stuff I'd DVD'd. When a friend called around 8 and said Obama had won, I was stunned. Then I immediately went back and forth between the exploding heads at Fox and my favorite gal, Rachel. So happy to see the Citizens United decision only served to such hundreds of millions from the upper 1% and put it back into the economy. I heard someone say that it would be funny if all the money the Koch brothers and others like them spent to defeat Obama only served to give the economy the boost it needed to re-elect him. And I was so happy to see the marriage equality bills pass. The passage of the legal marijuana bills were the icing on the cake. As for Rove, I think people may finally realize that he has all the relevance of Donald Trump.
