How about we come up with the best lines from plays and showtunes that sum up the election? I'll start...

Blanche Dubois: "It was like you suddenly turned a blinding light on..."

Colonel Pickering: "You did it! You did it!"

and from currently on the boards:
S-U-P-E-R-C-A-L-I-F-R-A-G-I-L-I-S-T-I-C-E-X-P-I-A-L-I-D-O-C-I-O-U-S

(note: all sides of the aisle, political not theater, welcome)

You leave my house, or feel the weight of my rod!

"There's a day of hope.
May I live to see...
when are hearts are happy
and our souls are free.
Let the new day dawn.
Oh, Lord I pray.
We'll never get to Heaven
'Til we reach that day!" -Ragtime



Morning glow, morning glow
starts to glimmer when you know
Winds of change are set to blow
and sweep this whole land through
Morning glow is long past due. -Pippin

I had "Let There Be Light (reprise)" from Next To Normal on almost constant repeat yesterday. It was the first song on my iPod when I left to go to the polls, and it just hit me how apropos it was. :)

From the perfect political show:

Everybody's
Got the right
To be happy.
Don't stay mad,
Life's not as bad
As it seems.

If you keep your
Goal in sight,
You can climb to
Any height.
Everybody's
Got the right
To their dreams...

An excerpt from "Make Them Hear You", also from Ragtime:

Go out and tell our story
To your daughters and your sons.
Make them hear you,
Make them hear you.

And tell them, in our struggle,
We were no the only ones.
Make them hear you,
Make them hear you.

Your sword can be a sermon
Or the power of the pen.
Teach every child to raise his voice
And then, my brothers, then
Will justice be demanded
By ten million righteous men.
Make them hear you.

After Obama won I was walking to my friend's dorm listening to Do You Hear The People Sing on my Ipod and just crying over what had happened because I was so happy.
