***WARNING: OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE***
Nov. 3:
DAVID ROBERTS, GRIST: It's all I can do not to start bawling.
LUKE MITCHELL, HARPER'S: I'm picturing something like VJ Day in Times Square. Seriously!
JOHN BLEVINS, SOUTH TEXAS COLLEGE OF LAW: It's all I can do to hold it together.
Nov. 4:
MOIRA WHELAN, NATIONAL SECURITY NETWORK: I'm looking across the street at my polling place, and the line is wrapped around the block. I nearly burst into tears when I saw it. I'm feeling like today is closing the door on a terrible era, and opening another. I'm glad you started this thread because I was feeling kind of like I was the only one who is deeply emotional today.
HENRY FARRELL, GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY: I had to close my office door yesterday because I was watching YouTube videos of elderly African Americans saying what this meant to them and tearing up.
JOSH BEARMAN, LA WEEKLY: 11 months ago I burst into tears by myself on a plane while watching Hardball when my mind wandered to the image of President Obama being sworn in. I've been fighting it ever since.
EZRA KLEIN, AMERICAN PROSPECT: OHIO!
ALEC MCGILLIS, WASHINGTON POST: If you need further proof that VA is looking to go blue, check out what's going on in VA-5 in deepest Southside Virginia, where Tom Perriello, my college roommate and a very good guy, is now up .06 percentage points - 2,000 votes - against Virgil Goode with 88 percent reporting.
GREG ANRIG, THE CENTURY FOUNDATION: This is really happening.
ADELE STAN, THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM: At last I can breathe.
SPENCER ACKERMAN, WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT: YES WE DID!
STEVEN TELES, YALE UNIVERSITY: I'm not sure why, but this part of the Battle Hymn of the Republic came to me . . . . Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.
SPENCER ACKERMAN: [quoting Obama] "...we may not get there in one year or in one term, but America I promise you, we as a people will get there."
HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.
MICHAEL TOMASKY, THE GUARDIAN: I'm just jelly. Lord!... |
