I had no idea where to post these and a couple nice people told me everywhere. I'm not taking that literally, but I thought here might work? Let me know if this was a bad idea.

(Madmen know nothing)

There is much debate about what will happen now to these communities. Communities are like coalitions, they are sometimes temporary and fragile things. There has been a lot built up here, and these will all continue to evolve. Here are some other communities you may wish to also join.

I know it is way too soon, but I created this community before the election because I had hope.
2012obama

I co-moderate this long lasting but smaller Obama community. Generally anything Obama related is accepted and debate can often flow between very different perspectives.
obama_rama

This is another community I co-moderate and it's focus will no doubt be on new Obama and other possible policies that would largely be considered progressive. It might be more policy specific than some of you wish, but the more the better!
progressivism

Here is yet another community I co-maintain that has an even more explicit focus on economic policy and what we can do to get out of our current economic situation.

Also of similar interest:
the_recession

Here is a hip new community that is already rapidly growing that I will contribute to, but do not moderate or maintain.
president_obama

If you want to perhaps bash the right, this may be of interest.

And here is the last Obama related community I know that is lots of fun.

I highly suggest viewing these great photos of President Obama.

This is how I feel today, well I know it's the crazy Ewok song but the words are still a celebration.

I entered into a scholarship competition in which you provide a picture and description of the ultimate political dream team, then others vote.
WELL, I entered in with Hillary and Amy Poehler (for the Lol effect).
So, support Hillary being part of the ultimate political dream team and vote for my entry!

Here's an interesting article by Rebecca Traister (Salon.com). A must read for all Hillary Clinton supporters.

Zombie feminists of the RNC

How did Sarah Palin become a symbol of women's empowerment? And how did I, a die-hard feminist, end up terrified at the idea of a woman in the White House?

By Rebecca Traister

Sept. 11, 2008 | I have been dreaming about Sarah Palin. (Apparently, I'm not alone.) I wish I could say that I'd been conjuring witty, politically sophisticated nightmares in which she leads troops into Vancouver or kindergartners in the recitation of "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." But, alas, mine have been nonsensical, kiddie-style doozies in which she kidnaps my cats, or enjoys a meal with my girlfriends while I bang on the restaurant window. There's also a chilling one, in which a scary witch stands on a wind-swept hill and leers at me.

What troubles me most -- aside from the fact that there is suddenly a Republican candidate potent enough to so ensnare my psyche -- is my sense that these are dreams in which it matters very much that Palin is a woman.

I have been writing about feminism for more than five years; I have been covering the gender politics of the 2008 presidential election for more than two. And I am absolutely gobsmacked by the intensity of my feelings about Sarah Palin. I am stunned not only by the way in which her candidacy has changed the rules in the gender debate, or how it is twisting and garbling the fight for women's progress. But I'm also startled by how Palin herself is testing my own beliefs about how I react to women in power.
