Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Unless you’re stuck in some Jack McKeon-like time warp in which Twitter relies on actual messenger pigeons, you’ve probably heard by now that Barack Obama punched yesterday’s election in the crotch. And unless your name is Mitt Romney and you’ve permanently foregone alcohol and caffeine, your brain is probably a soggy mush of post-celebratory/funereal booze and Election Night energy drinks this morning.
So we’re going to make this easy on you. Here’s our single-word review of everything that happened last night, starting with Obama’s victory.
