So everyone was excited to see Ohio and some other states go blue . . . but why is nobody excited about Indiana??? (OK, I know, we have only 11 electoral votes, but still.) Indiana voted democrat for the first time in 44 years. Woohoo!

(Still at 99% reporting, and Obama only ahead by about 30,000, but it's been called everywhere.)

I'm still watching the numbers come in on prop 8 for California, fingers crossed.

The group I was with was cheering for Indiana and North Carolina.

It's all about timing. If you guys had gotten around to deciding you were blue before Midnight, everyone would be talking about you. But you took too long and Ohio beat you to it :-P

I agree. I mean it's HUGE that Indiana went blue, and North Carolina is probably blue but no one is sure yet. And we got Florida and Nevada and Colorado, all the states that were all anyone talked about for the past months, in sort of an "oh btw" way later that night!! Ohio was one of those 'that would be gold all at once but no one is counting on it' states beforehand i think; the original triumvirate of awesome was going to be Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico, and none of the other swingers looked as attainable for a bit I think... But yeah. Indiana is a huge deal, you should feel proud to live there, and I bet that will get a bit more discussion (as will NC and an EV from Nebraska possibly going blue) after the post-victory discussion is settled down a bit... if that ever happens!!! :)
