We knocked out the Republican Party.

They're still staggering around half-blind, swollen and incoherent.

Oh, I dunno.

Whatever.

We'll see.

3. I have been on DU and brawling actively since 2002.

Look at those punks now. The grassroots fighters are largely responsible.

With Obama it has felt a lot like we haven't won anything, but give it time, and keep fighting.

Edit note: I checked to make sure and I have been a member since 2002!

8. No we didn't.

They knocked themselves out.

All we had to do was stand aside and watch.

But it wouldn't have happened without us, fighting every day.

We deserve our share of the credit.

Edit to add: In case you haven't noticed, grassroots fighters have transformed the political landscape in the last 10 years. We have a long way to go, but we're a good distance from where we started.

12. Said the resting rabbit, as the tortoise crossed the finish line.

Celebrating before the game is never a good idea.

You are never as right as you think you are.

Ho-hum.

The primitives are pretty boring today.
