Netroots celebration of the Dem House takeover ranged from understated (DailyKos' founder Markos Moulitsas: Update VII: Dems win the House) to all caps excitement (MyDD's Chris Bowers: DEMOCRATS TAKE THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!)

Talking Points Memo's Josh Marshall advised readers to "savor" the victory, and Matthew Yglesias loved the smell. AMERICblog mixes the sacred with the profane: "Halle-f--king-lujah."

While Kos' reaction was understated, his commenters we're ready to celebrate:

  • smugbug: "PLUS 29-Dem Seats in DA HOUSE. MSNBC just called it. That's it....tears of happiness."
  • panicbean: "We did it, thank you kos, and Dean, and Kossacks, we did it, and it would have been possible w/o all of the aforementionded folks."
  • Phil S 33: ""Bogeyman" Speaker Pelosi!!!! Take that--you effing Rethugs!!!!!"
