My apartment is spotless!! John (my neighbor and fellow soc grad student) bought a new wireless router, so we were messing with it to see if i could get the signal in my apartment. After a little moving of things around, and a whole lot of cleaning inspired by the moving, i have a good signal. This means i can cancel my internet and just pay for half of his. We're saving money now!
I got a new couch too. Some might even say i'm civilized.

The Sky is Falling!
To all of my people in Utah who are panicking and comparing Barack Obama to the likes of Hitler and promising to move to Canada,
First, Canada? You're not going to move to Canada. Canada's Conservative party makes the Dems look like Rush Limbaugh, so you just plan on staying put and we'll let you know about your new tax increase. I know it sucks, but we're gonna make you help people who are less fortunate.
Next, i give you this:

Results Rolling In
First off, this is an amazing day! As a people, Americans have made the first step towards change, and now it is all of our responsibility to stay active and make sure that we get the change that we elected. Obama's speech was amazing. He's no longer rallying; he's leading.
Now, onto Oregon and my own vested interests!
Oregon Live!
As i write this, every single race that PolitiCorps '08 worked on is being led by the candidate that we worked for!! Check them out and i'll keep my fingers crossed that the few that haven't been called work out in our favor:
OR HD 18 - Jim Gilbert (too close to call)
OR HD 26 - Jessica Adamson (too close)
OR HD 29 - Chuck Riley
OR HD 30 - David Edwards
OR HD 37 - Michele Eberle (Emily Kintzer is her campaign manager, but it is still too close to call)
OR HD 49 - Nick Kahl!!!!!111!!!1!!!!!11!1!! Fuck yeah!!!11!!!!
OR HD 50 - Greg Matthews, yeah, he's a firefighter.
OR HD 51 - Brent Barton
OR HD 52 - Suzanne VanOrman
OR HD 54 - Judy Steigler
Furthermore, we helped out with the Partnership for Safety and Justice's Yes/No campaign on Ballot Measure 57 (Yes) and Measure 61 (No). They both passed, but Measure 57 has passed with a larger vote total which means that it will become the law and the other will not. Another victory!!
As long as Jeff Merkeley wins (which PC didn't work on), Oregon is in great shape moving forward. With what looks to be a 41 seat majority (of 60) the Dems will be able to pass budget legislation that will potentially allow them to make great change.
I'm so very excited today. I love everyone that i worked with this summer, and i'm so proud of us as a group. A special congratulation and bit of pride goes out to Drew who went on to be Nick Kahl's Field Director.
Dani went on to be the Field Organizer for the No on Prop 8 campaign in San Francisco. It's not looking good right now, but i'll be up for awhile awaiting the results. This could be the one big disappointment of this election cycle. This is by no means a reflection on Dani. That campaign is so lucky ot have had her. She's amazingly hard working and inteligent. I hope that someday we'll get over our bigotry and homophobia, but for today the message is of progressive change. It's a big step. We'll keep fighting for the rest.
