In reply to the discussion: Wherever you are, Raise a glass ! DAY TWO :>) [View all]UTUSN
(77,795 posts)65. Adding from 2010 passage, Hillary/President congratulatory hug

Watching for the news this morning, it didnt sink in until later in the day. I saw it live on t.v., like the JFK/OSWALD thing, the 2000 SCotUS Selection decision, and 9-11. This was different in scale and different for being HAPPY. But the suspense, or rather first came the low expectation, then the CNN WRONG outcome, the expected disappointment, then conflicting outcomes, then confusion, the possibility?, then the sinking in of the correctly reported outcome.
The pic is from when it passed in 2010.
