I'm celebrating, go ahead and alert me.

We didn't win everything, but so far I'm thrilled:

Newsom reelected California governor
Padilla makes history as first Latino elected to Senate from California
Voters approve ban on sale of flavored tobacco products
Proposition 1 abortion rights ballot measure passes
Propositions 26 and 27, which would have legalized sports gaming, lose big
Proposition 28: School art measure cruising to victory

I came to celebrate and commiserate but...wow!

Happy to share joy with anyone who wants some.

And so many great things happened. Even if we don't keep the house, I think we'll be within a few seats.

I feel very sorry for you.

are a lot of races in California still not decided.

If someone doesn't share your enthusiasm because the election is still days from over, too bad

All the issues you named in your OP were pretty obvious which way they would go state-wide.

I guess you will be thrilled if curuso become LA mayor

I'm happy I do get some things important to me.
I've put time and effort in this campaign season and a few I worked for, lost.

I'm so glad we triumphed where we were predicted to lose.
