Around the Blogroll and Elsewhere: Special Post-Election Edition
Posted by Jill | 7:41 PM
The Christian Progressive Liberal on what last night would have meant to Steve Gilliard.

Last night I was so thrilled watching the young faces of students at Spellman College and thinking what this election meant for them. Steven Reynolds' students at Lincoln University weighed in.

Dave Johnson says that Americans decided yesterday that spreading the wealth around wasn't such a bad idea.

John Cole is right -- adorably dweeby little Nate Silver was the best damn pollster of them all this year.

Mysticlaker thanks Justice John Paul Stevens for staying on until someone who isn't batshit crazy can be appointed to replace him.

Den the Blogger wonders if the 2008 Minnesota Senate Race is this year's Florida 2000. (I myself strongly believe that we need more comedians in Congress. Hey, Marc -- if the web video thing doesn't work out, you could run against Brian Bilbray next time out.)

The Fumigator notes that although we will have a black president, we are still a nation of bigots.

OK, Lynn, I admit it. You were right and I was bamboozled. Happy now? :P

Hey, Fran -- I love the sound of it too.

The Rude Pundit: Ah, the hell with the high road. And John, on a similar note. Todd Beeton, too.

The Great Obama Reggae Conspiracy.

Wow. And they say I'm a tinfoil hatter....

5....4....3....2....


Didn't Bob Novak retire? (Rachel is awesome on this tonight.)

Greg at The Talent Show: Unless you're talking about Boys' Night Out at Hooters, "mandate" is exactly what Obama got.

We really dodged a bullet. She's even more of a moron than we thought, if such a thing is possible.

UPDATE (because a day without Ornery Bastard is like a day without sunshine): The divine OB unloads on NBC, for whom Election Night wasn't about the first black president, but was all about the late Tim Russert.
