I'm unspeakably relieved and excited that Barack Obama has been re-elected.
Also amazing: Maine, Maryland, & Washington have voted to approve marriage equality. At least 18 women have been elected to the Senate - including one disabled veteran, one lesbian, and one Asian - a record.
And Puerto Rico seems to be starting down the road to statehood, which is so interesting to me and not something I'd heard about at all til someone retweeted it tonight.
ETA: Ok, my fact checking was a little impaired last night (I blame the wine!) - the disabled veteran was elected to the House not the Senate.
