Ultimately, Obama won by the popular vote by 7%. A pretty enormous margin for a modern election.

Being a dick has consequences:
Worst president ever. It’s not even close.

From nytimes:
Old-school static stretching is bad for you. Do this instead:
STRAIGHT-LEG MARCH
(for the hamstrings and gluteus muscles)
Kick one leg straight out in front of you, with your toes flexed toward the sky. Reach your opposite arm to the upturned toes. Drop the leg and repeat with the opposite limbs. Continue the sequence for at least six or seven repetitions.
SCORPION
(for the lower back, hip flexors and gluteus muscles)
Lie on your stomach, with your arms outstretched and your feet flexed so that only your toes are touching the ground. Kick your right foot toward your left arm, then kick your leftfoot toward your right arm. Since this is an advanced exercise, begin slowly, and repeat up to 12 times.
HANDWALKS
(for the shoulders, core muscles, and hamstrings)
Stand straight, with your legs together. Bend over until both hands are flat on the ground. “Walk” with your hands forward until your back is almost extended. Keeping your legs straight, inch your feet toward your hands, then walk your hands forward again. Repeat five or six times. G.R.

We Win! Enjoy it, we worked hard for it. To everyone who donated, volunteered and voted, thank you! If you think this is exciting, wait till Obama gets started in office. The competence and grace of his campaign translated into governance is going to blow us all away.
Obama’s press secretary is really kickass.
He’s like a visual combination of my brother Jan and Seth Rogen.
I like how he says everything with raised eyebrows and a smirk and always maintains sorta hypnotic eye contact with his interviewer:

“Give it a chance” is one of the worst excuses to do something. Oh, here’s a crap idea. But, give it a chance before deciding it sucks. That may be fine for some very narrow slice of decisions that are 50-50 decisions, or where there isn’t really any good data to decide with. But, most of the time that’s not the case. There are often very good reasons for not doing things. Also, it’s much harder to stop doing a bad thing once you start doing it. Best not to start in the first place. So please, THINK before you give something a chance. Some good examples: folks thought after the raging success of Bill Clinton, we could give conservatives a chance. EPIC FAIL. Maybe you should buy an American car. How bad can it be, hey give it a chance! Ludicrous. Or wait, maybe We should give McCain a chance. He’s not actually the same molecules as Bush, right? Insane.

Just for fun, my electoral prediction: landslide Obama, with ~320 electoral votes, 55-45 popular vote. 60 senate seats. McCain loses even Az. Cal Prop 8 defeated by 5%. In WA: Burner by 1%, Gregoire by 2%, all spending measures + assisted suicide pass. I’m kinda sick of hedging this election cycle, I kinda want to enjoy at least one day of huge statistical advantage. Oh, and Sarah Palin? Please, please please run in 2012, we’d love to run against you again, you are the gift that keeps on giving.

Palin’ around with convicted corrupt senator Ted Stevens:
Guilty guilty guilty on all counts!

Hey Republicans. I’m sure very few of you read this blog, but if you’re reading, listen close, cuz this one is for you.
It’s time to speak up against the racists in your party. For too long, folks on the left have given you the benefit of the doubt as your party race-baits its way through election after election. Today the ATF broke up a skinhead plot to assassinate yet another progressive American. YOUR party is responsible for cutting these people off. Public denunciation. Not just skin-deep and then keep doing all the subtle racist dog-whistling as usual. Without that your party is as guilty as they are.
If we lose Obama to one of your crazy right-wing assassins (abortion-bombers, mcveighs, koreshes) there won’t be another Republican elected to major office for a generation. Your party is done. You better speak up now. The southern strategy is dead. Cut them off forever.
