We were incredibly fearful as the evening began but our cookies seemed to work like magic.<em> </em></p> <p><em>Kline's Magic Voodoo Cookies</em>, as we called them, worked! First, Eleanor devoured Florida. As the election night progressed, <em>every</em> contentious state that we preemptively consumed (Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana) fell to the Democrats.&nbsp; Texas was just too damn big to eat. But Woo-hoo we won the election regardless!</p> <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3310/3200734490_cbccd1162e.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="500" /><br /><br />We had such fun gobbling up all the suspect states and cheering when they fell.&nbsp; Our Obama optimism has not yet waned and while we anticipate many struggles for the country, we feel like we at least have a chance.</p> <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3424/3200734260_44d5dbd46e.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p> <p>&copy; Debby and Larry Kline</p> San Diego, California Debby and Larry Kline 2009-01-14T13:39:41-05:00 691 true true 2009-01-16T10:21:10-05:00 The Kline's Magic Voodoo Cookies 2009-01-16T11:05:53-05:00
