Conflicted thoughts on the US elections

1) I bet we're all going to be horribly disappointed when he doesn't solve world peace, world hunger, the oil problems, etc. overnight
2) Yay! Woo! YES!!!!! *punches the air*
3) I got up at 6:30 to go to the toilet, checked the news on my laptop in the living room (to avoid waking Julie) and was then so excited it took me 45 minutes to get back to sleep.

Sorry, but you get up at 6:30 and you can still go back to sleep again?!

I'm getting ready for work at that time...

Being an insomnia monkey I saw most of it live.
The desperate looks on the faces of the pro-republicans as the landslide went on was quite funny - it's as if they actually thought they had a chance.
Good luck to him though, with all the problems the US has at the moment he'll have to do great to get a second term.
