Election Night Drinking Game

We were trying to come up with the Election Night Drinking Game phrases and words last night and the two that seemed to keep coming up were "tsunami/wave" and "lame duck majority". Chris Matthews couldn't get enough of either of them.

That said, for the first time in a long time I feel like the people have been heard and there is hope for the future. I never was good at hiding where I fall on the political spectrum and have many friends that are at the opposite end whom with I have fascinating (and respectful) conversations with, but I just have to say that I'm holding my breath on Montana. There seems to already be an unhealthy desire to try and determine what "illegible" absentee ballots were really trying to say (a practice frowned upon in research... if you can't make it out cleanly it's in the same boat as "missing data" or you're putting words in people's mouths).

Go Donkeys. Make changes that are positive for our children's and our planet's political, social and environmental future.
