It was like the best sex you ever ever had, and it ain't coming back

[DainBramaged]

I meant the feeling election night. It was better than Bill Clinton. It was better than Jimmy Carter. It was better than the best acid, coke, pot, pills, booze I ever had. And it will never be forgotten, or repeated in our lifetimes.


1-20-09 can't come soon enough.

1. Yeah you're right about that

A natural high like no other. Ah well, guess it's back to drugs and whores now.

[Jennicut]

2. LOL....I am still on a bit of a buzz, is there something wrong with me?

[DangerousRhythm]

32. If there's something wrong with you, it must be the same thing I have.

Maybe it's catching. :D

[Barack_America]

3. I actually was only briefly exuberant on election night.

I was then overwhelmed with a mixture of relief and pride, which left me in tears...for three days.

:eyes:

I hope that I'm not a similar mess on Inauguration Day, but I suspect that I will be.

[Clio the Leo]

4. It's more like the biggest or............

.... OREO cookie I've ever had. It's proving to be quite a tasty cookie and it's lasting MUCH longer than any cookie I've ever eaten. Sweeter with every bite.







and oh yeah, some PIE!!!!

[alwysdrunk]

5. This post just made me gain 2 pounds

Thanks a lot.

[slampoet]

6. No offense , but you all need to get some REAL LIFE experiences.

I'm a political junkie and even have run campaigns before.


While this election was thrilling--ish,



None of it compares to the feeling i had climbing my first mountain at a rave, performing in front of 5 thousand people, the first time i drove 100mph, starting my first home business, riding a horse full gallop through a fresh snow field, surfing on a mountain sized sand dune, skiing my first double diamond, or a few dozen other experiences I could name.

28. amen to that.

I don't get this whole orgiastic glee over politicians. I don't enjoy looking at pictures of them with puppies, picking out groceries, or bodysurfing. It's worse than celebrity worship. Don't get it.

Never had, hope I never will.

[DainBramaged]

35. Let's try this again, who cares, this isn't about you this is about Obama

sorry you need to steal threads to let us know how wonderful you are.

[Lyric]

8. Maybe not repeated for YOU, but

it will be repeated times a hundred for me when we finally get a Democratic FEMALE President elected.

:hi:

[DainBramaged]

9. We ALMOST had one, and that's still in the cards

:hug:

[Beacool]

13. Yep, I still hope that she runs again.

She and Obama respectively won more votes than anyone else in a primary in the history of the country. So, I hope she gives it another shot in the future.

;)

[Lyric]

16. Indeed. It will be a beautiful day in my life

when I can cast my vote for a woman to lead this nation.

I have faith that it will happen someday.

:hug:

[Beacool]

11. Hear, hear!!!!!!!!

I hope not be in a nursing home by then.

:eyes:

[Beacool]

10. Well, I wouldn't go THAT far,

but if it rocked your world then enjoy it.

:7

[FrenchieCat]

12. I'm saving myself for inauguration day.....

like a virgin! :)

[WinkyDink]

14. Michelle might beg to diffa.....

[LWolf]

15. Er...it didn't come close.

At most, it was the extreme relief a constipation sufferer experiences when the bowels finally move.

I forgot it by the next day, looking ahead to the long expected battle with a centrist Obama administration.

[DainBramaged]

18. (sigh)

:eyes:

[JuniperLea]

22. I see how it is... this explains a lot...

You already have your mind made up.

Whatever.

[DainBramaged]

25. People think they will be able to "battle" Obama

I dream about being 22 and stupid again too. Amazing isn't it?

[JuniperLea]

34. 22 and stupid

Yep. Those were the days.

[LWolf]

38. Half right.

I made up my mind before he ever entered the primaries, and I haven't changed it.

That's the half that's right.

The half where you are wrong, is this:

I've been open all along to having him change my mind. He can do so by shifting his policies leftward, and by making some LEFT-leaning change appointments.

THAT is what can change my mind.

[Ozma]

17. I think there's going to be wonderful

sex and celebrating on January 20th, 2009.

[Kalyke]

19. Uh... no.

It was nice, but you obviously haven't had good sex if you thought that was better. :)

(And, you know I'm teasing - fellow American car lover!)

[Blu Dahlia]

20. still getting daily mental orgasms

THAT ONE IS OUR PRESIDENT

:toast: :party: :applause: :applause:

NOT THOSE ONES-->


THAT ONE!!!!

:loveya: :loveya:

:toast: :party: :applause: :applause:



:woohoo:

YEARRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

:loveya: :dunce: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke:

[SaveAmerica]

33. Nothing like a daily serving of chocolate covered O-O's

[No Elephants]

21. It was not as good as the best sex I've ever had, but I am still high, so it's lasting a heck of a

lot longer than the best sex I ever had. (Thank goodness. Having sex for three weeks would probably have done some internal damage.)

[DrPresident]

23. I cannot stop watching videos of the street celebrations. I have to relive it over and over

I just can't get enough.

[Blarch]

24. I wasn't really thrilled.

I mean, I was behind Obama before most on this board, I had the sticker on my car before he even announced, I donated, went to a rally in Springfield and voted for him, and now have the Obama 2012 sticker on my car.

But to be honest, The Presidential election was over in July. Election night was a given.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

26. I still remember. After VA and OH had been called.. it was just a matter of the West Coast results.

That was a great moment, when the West came down, all at once, like the Hammer of Democratic Justice, to put it away.

"just a small thermal exhaust port..." It was like a Star Wars movie, but infinitely better, because it was real.

[walldude]

27. If election night was better than sex for you...

find a new partner.

[iamthebandfanman]

29. lol n/t

[DainBramaged]

30. No imagination or hope. And sorely lacking any sense of the moment.

Unless of course, a Democrat wasn't your choice for President?

[Quantess]

36. I laughed.

:hide:

[theboss]

31. I don't know....I have had some pretty great sex

Election night was nice.

Didn't beat getting laid.

Or the Steelers winning the Super Bowl.

It felt like landing in Vegas after the worst flight of my life. Profound relief and a hope that good times were ahead.

[JCMach1]

37. Exactly... the relief of landing after a 24hr flight

in economy the whole way...

[ramapo]

39. Sure it can

I watch the video compilation of election night...just like being there. I tear up, I'm overwhelmed. I feel great.

[CitizenPatriot]

40. weird..I was so tired election night I could barely keep my eyes open

After working (volunteering) and obsessing and worrying for so long, by the time the actual victory came around, I was too tired to celebrate. Was almost too terrified to watch the results. I remember the call for Ohio while I held my breath. Never even opened the champagne. In fact, it's still in the fridge. Seemed like a dream.

Instead of the raucous celebration I pictured, I've been having a slow dawning of great joy. Every morning I wake up and spend a few minutes watching the birds outside and just sort of...giving thanks. No anxiety, no more of that powerless feeling re the war, -- just peace and joy. Each day he does something to remind me why I worked so hard for him/us/myself.

I'm hoping to make the inauguration is a huge blow out party:-)
