"Jon, I can't hear you over all this liberty."

(more at BoingBoing, including Speaker Pelosi "in ur house, impeachin ur doodz")

I'm pretty happy with the overall results: Ohio! With the Democratic governor! Iowa! With the Democratic governor! (Job well done, banannagoats.) Things were a little bit sad in Connecticut -- this household really did not want Lieberman to be re-elected -- but most of the other races went well enough. I had a good evening, at any rate, following the returns with newredshoes over AIM and squeeing at appropriate times. (At inappropriate times, too -- I totally mocked Santorum's weeping children, about which I should probably be more ashamed.)

Issues-wise, it could have been better. Big cheers for South Dakota's overturned abortion ban, and Missouri's support of stem-cell research; likewise for Ohio's and New York's raising the minimum wage. However, the fact that so many more gay-marriage bans passed is very disappointing.

Damn, I need a Colbert icon.
