Obama won! I’m breathing a sigh of relief, and crying because I’ve been so afraid of a Romney presidency for so long.

In other delightful, glorious election news,

Todd “Legitimate Rape” Akin lost his race to “unladylike” Claire McCaskill.

Richard Mourdock, who believes that rape babies are gifts from God, also lost his race.

Overall, a record number of women won their races, the Republicans learned that rape is really not a viable campaign strategy, young people increased turnout, and the Republican party is starting to come to grips with the fact that they need to appeal to Hispanic voters. Medical marijuana ballot initiatives passed in several states, as did marriage equality. In short, many progressive initiatives passed in the ballots, meaning that the country is becoming more liberal again.

Unfortunately, this guy, won his re-election campaign. You can’t win them all.

For my non-US readers, thank you for letting me celebrate. I promise back to regular blogging tomorrow.

Any other important election updates I forgot, let me know in the comments.
