Now all we need are NY, Memphis, and Boulder to log on, and we'll have a true blog-from-the-bar thread!

Oh, and for the record, I won both bets. Haha.

Anyone counting Obama's thank yous?

Obama's speech leaves McCain and Hills in the dust!

I'm not at a party, but I'll officially represent Austin, Texas--if nobody else has yet, that is.

Rock star!

Pinot Noir (Italy) here in PA.

Cheers to you all! Great speech. Great win.

Good evening everybody!
I'd just like you to say with me "President Barack Obama"

Genghis, I've put my beers on your tab, I hope that's ok.

I watched Hillary's speech tonight and at the point that she said "no decision tonight" I turned off the tv. I'm a little surprised at how pissed I am about her not conceding tonight. What's the difference, right? I think it's the idea that she has any choice left but to concede. She's had more than enough time to plan for tonight. And she seemed to be just leading on her supporters tonight. Not what we needed to hear from her on this otherwise wonderful night.

Cheers, Yoda

Genghis, I'm jealous that you're in SF tonight. Was this strictly an Obama-related trip? Or are you there for business as well?

Dang, I love SF.

PS I'd like to thank the academy...

I read that as "I'd like to thank the alchemy..."

See, when she said "no decision tonight" I guzzled two glasses. Almost did not remember I'd done it. She's literally driven me to drink.

Starting today I plan to lead a small band of Clinton loyalists (call them my cadre) into the Blue Ridge Mountains where we will begin mobilizing the local peasantry and sewing the seeds for the Clintonista revolution. Our group will be known as the Clintonista Revolutionary Action Party and, like all good movements of the kind, will be known by the acronym C.R.A.P. We expect to find plenty of hard-working white supporters down there. We will start small, staging raids on internet cafes and other elitist gathering places. When news of our exploits spreads, we expect the movement to broaden, and eventually attract the greatest number of voters who ever voted for a nominee in the primaries ever. Our counter convention, staged in an abandoned airplane hangar will feature bluegrass, skeet shooting and shots of JD, which we will gladly share with honorary commander in chief John McCain. While we do not expect to win anything, we do plan on destroying Obama's chances in the Fall. Actually, we're somewhat delusional, so maybe we can secure Hillary a place on the ticket. Not as VP, mind you. Her ego is too big for that. Just a big place on the ticket that she can decorate as she likes. Of course, being a guerilla of the armchair variety, I will be directing the operation from the comfort of Brownstone Brooklyn. Billy Glad has signed on as Director of Propaganda. Desidero is coordinating strategy. Otto F. will be Minister of Offense.

I may be a little drunk. And it may be raining. But I'm not making any decisions tonight.

There were a zillion people at the NYC event. I heard a rumor there was someone named Courtney who claimed to be from TPM. Did not find her. They kept sticking tv cameras in our faces and this time they weren't from Finland. It was an amazing night and I ran into a bunch of random people I had met at other Obama events and other things in life.

Thank goodness I'd already heard Hillary wasn't conceding tonight, or I'd have spewed my (inexpensive, minimally elitist) Cab all over the carpet.

I'm from the South, and "tacky" is practically profanity.

What's beyond tacky? That was Hillary's attempt at control. Do you know she held her rally 3 levels below the basement at the college or university? No TV monitors and no cell phone or Blackberry reception so... her supporters wouldn't know Obama had won until after she spoke.

John McC - I'm in the Twin Cities. Are you, or were you just wishing? :)

Laura, we've got family - including babies - in the Bay area, and they served us Fat Tire out there last year, then Mpls/St. Paul liquor stores started carrying it a few months later.

Wish I'd been out of lurk here long enough to know y'all and for y'all to know me some. Well, maybe between now and November, there'll be some chances.

Any other MN Twin Citians around?

I think it's in poor taste to mention 9/11 at a time like this, especially with the memories still fresh in people's minds. I know what you're implying about Hillary and 9/11, and this kind of gutter tactic is certainly beneath you and I assume you'll take responsibility should some sicko get hold of this meme and run with it. And might I remind you that it's likely to get picked up by Hillary's Mnemonic Calendar or even Giuliani's, and then we'll all be in a heap of doo-doo.

9/11?

Did Giuliani hack your account?

Are you still drinking?? If so I'm impressed. I meanwhile, celebrated like a real American last night, some Coors light followed by box wine when that ran out.

Negra Modelo throughout the Mission District of San Francisco. It's the dark beer of choice here and throughout Mexico. Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo were there--shots of Padrone and Pear Mescal in celebration. Those two communists know a thing or two about street politics, claiming that Obama truly is a closet radical full of the right kind of compromise to create radical change over a 16 year period, in which Kathleen Sibelius, his VP, will continue the Obama tradition.

peace genghis

Hillary doesn't need to make any decisions. The American people already decided.
