Welcome!

Welcome to the blue states. For some of you, like Iowa and New Mexico, we are welcoming you back to the blue states after a four year hiatus, but others among you are new to the blue states.

We hope you enjoy your stay, and we're just so happy to have you.

[bluestateguy]

13. Fixed

Sorry bout that.

8. I have to admit

I about lost it last night when Virginia was looking iffy. But we came through, and my county, Loudoun, helped. That was icing on the cake (or maybe ice cream on the pie) for me!

10. Welcome to the 20th century, Virginia.

It's good to see you making progress.

[alsame]

11. Congratulations and thank you. I know those of you in formerly

red states had to work really hard to turn blue.

12. I have never been prouder to be an Ohioan.

The "Ohio for Obama" call was the moment we all knew we had won this thing. It was the most thrilling moment I have ever experienced. Just unbelievable.

Damn, it feels good to be BLUE!!!

[holiday]

15. I agree.. that's when I knew the numbers wouldn't add up for

McCain... and it feels soooo good to be blue

[Tatiana]

14. I am so proud of Florida and especially O-H-I-O!!!!!!!!! n/t

[VolcanoJen]

18. WE are so proud of YOU!!!

Illinois!!!! First midwestern President since Truman!!! (Ford doesn't count; he was never elected.)

Thank you, Land of Lincoln!! It feels SO good for my beloved midwest to REPRESENT!!

[Tatiana]

23. Aw shucks. Ohio really was the breaking point for me. I knew the tide had turned.

And redemption for 2004 and 2000 was on the way.

It was cathartic.

I just wanna hug every Ohioan I meet.

And I promise not to cut off anyone with Indy plates for the rest of the week.

[RockaFowler]

16. Yeah for Florida

We did it!!

Hey, we may also have to add Georgia to this list. That would be the greatest of them all. (My Mom lives there and she said it was a happy day in Georgia)

[squirecam]

17. Nevada

For the record, Clark County has been blue for a while.

We just needed a bit of help for our northern cousins. Thanks for that !

[sickinohio]

19. So happy to finally be BLUE

Thank you!! :toast:

[StreetKnowledge]

20. Folks, add another one

Indiana has gone blue! :woohoo:

Good point to raise about it: Governor Mitch Daniels, who was re-elected last night, left the Bush Administration because of fiscal irresponsibility. A Republican with a brain in a state that hasn't vote Democrat in decades? The tide has turned, folks......

[madmom]

21. Thank you!

[Chiyo-chichi]

22. Glad my state is finally blue.

Wish I could lose the red part of my username, but... oh well.
