Congrats Dan, and all of Pennsylvania too! :-)

We wanna see the HUGH FOSKETT shirt!!

As soon as I saw the results here in IL I had to check out the blog and see how you were celebrating!! YEA!! I am so happy for all your hard work!

Santorum politically santorumed. Love it.

Congratulations, Dan. WishI could be at Spitfire tonight, but I gotta work.

I wish I was there to buy Dan a drink. Cheers.

maybe dan has the political capital to now do the same thing with ITMFA.

Wow, one person can make a difference in ruining a horrible human being's political career! Great job, Dan!

Congratulations, USA! Today, I am proud to be an American.

Wow. Santorum's concession was actually serious gracious. Good for him--he went out with some class.

Santorum brought all of his troubles -- including Dan Savage -- upon himself. But his concession speech was a fine and gracious thing. Kudos, Mr. Senator. And I feel sorry for his kids.

Why is it that for EVERY Republican, my reaction is always "I feel sorry for his kids".

I liked when CNN cut off Santorum's voice feed halfway through the word "God"

YAAAY! I had to check it out! Drink up, you've earned it!

I popped open a 22oz Rogue Dead Guy Ale in celebration of Santorum's loss. HORRAY!!!

fark joins you

You're much more photogenic when you're happy. Congrats. Let's all go make some santorum to celebrate.

Congratulations from Canada - I love you Dan, I pick up Now magazine just to read your wise words!

Sid, your biggest Toronto Fan.

Dan, if I were there, I'd buy you a TRIPLE for being there to 'assist' this fucker to some lucrative postpolitical career chasing Choir Boys.

I guess you won't have Santorum to lick around anymore, Dan...

Dan, you are my hero.

Dan Now that the Santorum mess is all cleaned up you might want to open the windows and use some Fabreez to freshen the air. I hear that stuff leaves a lingering smell.
From Canada Congrats.

I am fucking dancing around my apartment and shrieking at the top of my lungs. We got the House back and Santorum is forced to eat santorum. This just turned into an awesome fucking day.

Dan, you are a credit to your race. You make me proud to be a homo. Thank you, on behalf of the entire world.

Hopefully the day will come when politicians realize it's suicide to piss off homos.

Who's next on the hit list?

I think the fanatic evangelicals should take some time and head back to churches to do some serious soul searching and praying after this election. Interestingly they might find out that they are actually a closeted meth addicted homosexual them self.

Santorum smeared!

Congratulations, everyone.

Speaking of feeling bad for his kids:

You won't have Santorum to Kick around any more. This is a good thing: it is really hard to get that stuff off your shoe.
It appears the US is turning from the brink.

Hope all of you militant "gays" realize that Santorum was ousted because of the war, not because a majority of people think two men should be married.

Santorum is gone.

BUT his counterpart in the House, MARILYN MUSGRAVE (R-Colo.) survived !!!

Marilyn Musgrave, lead sponsor of the anti-gay marriage amendment, failed to win a majority of votes. She took about 46 percent to Paccione’s 43 percent; a third-party candidate won 11 percent.

Musgrave made gay marriage a centerpiece of her campaign, despite the fact that the U.S. is currently fighting two wars. She was helped by the introduction of two gay-related measures on the Colorado ballot, one to ban same-sex marriage and another to grant gay couples domestic partnership rights. The marriage ban passed and the DP measure has been trailing badly.

MARILYN MUSGRAVE will be a good target now that Santorum is gone.

My goodness, what an ego.

While I'm sure there were a handful of Dan Savage readers who because of his inky and pixelated hissings crawled out from behind their keyboards to vote dramatically and self-righteously against this pitiful dick-smack, that's not what lost Santorum the election.

Nor won it for the het megabreeder anti-abortion Catholic Casey.

What lost Santorum the election was the focused, unceasing, extended efforts of grass-roots, on-the-ground people in Philly who registered, organized, fund-raised, held costume parties, wrote Philly-humor-saturated info campaigns...in short who turned out the vote on Tuesday.

They knew that a record turnout among Philly's poor and working classes would be close to enough to defeat Bibleboy--the carpetbagger from VA--if not enough.

They were right.

And my fifty bucks from Pugetopolis, and my Philadelphians Against Santorum window sign made me feel good, and might have paid for something back home. But it was folks like my long-dead Philly family who made that outcome happen. They knew that Santorum didn't give a rat's ass about people like us, and they opened a can of You SO History on his ass.

How about you give credit where it's due? Philly's people have been shat on in a thousand ways...yet still show the nation how to do grass-roots politics.

And they don't even need national columns, or identity politics, or anything. Most of them got up Wed. morning and went back to scrubbing toilets, driving buses, and fixing sewers. No self-congratulation.

By the way, Philly lost a beloved native son today: journalist Ed Bradley. Raised by his mom, humble ed degree from Cheyney State, and a really decent man. Always had time for young black men and women aspiring to journalism. He knew he was dying when he did the 50th anniversary piece on Emmett Till.

Fuck you. (Philadelphiaspeak for "Seeya" or "I love you" or "Go away," or "Smell ya later" or "Where did someone with such a small dick get such a big head?" or "Nice ass")
