10. May your singing heart soothe your aching feet
I'm still jumping for joy here. If your feet are bothering you, I'll do a little jumping for you. :bounce:

9. I got up at 9 AM
But that's CET, which is 2AM Central Time in North America.

I even got to have breakfast in daylight before hearing the announcement!

11. Been up all night.
I truly believed he would win.

I also truly believe this is a benchmark towards him announcing his candidacy soon.

16. Ha! I beat the alarm clock, too!
It's good to have these moments of joy to treasure -- they seem to come fewer and further between.

Congrats, Mr. Gore! :bounce: :toast: :party: :bounce: :toast: :party:

24. No alarm needed here. I woke up right on time to see it LIVE on CNN!
MSNBC stayed on CondoLiar and Iran - then reported it very briefly as "live" at 5:33. Fox ran it as an ALERT at bottom of screen during a taped rebroadcast of Cavuto at about same time as MSNBC.

Why didn't all channels carry this live? This was huge!
:party: :toast: :bounce: :loveya:
