- Tweets from columnists on each side of the aisle set the tone of Twitter conversations. Dave Weigel, a Slate blogger, and Ann Coulter, a conservative columnist, had this to say:
- Many Americans felt that it was time to move forward, regardless of the election results. Many people encouraged others to pray for anyone in office.
- President Obama and other Democrats tweeted victoriously. The most retweeted picture of the election was of Barack and Michelle Obama hugging.
- Claire McCaskill indicated she was pleased with her election results statewide, especially outside urban areas.
- And of course, there were the jokers.
When it’s time to call Missouri, I really hope some anchor announces it by yelling “Let’s send it over to MO!” #GlobalGuts
I can't sleep cuz my upstairs neighbors are bumping merengue a todo volumen. #obamavictoryproblems- One interesting result of the election was that Puerto Rico voted to become a state. Now it will be up to the federal government to decide whether to admit a 51st state to the Union.
- The Twitter-verse was even abuzz with conversations about reelected congresspeople.
