"Politicians and pundits can't help saying they were right \u2014 or rather, we can't resist hearing them say they were wrong. Throughout the evening, they took to the Twitterverse to make predictions, provide analysis and congratulate victors. \nAnd when President Barack Obama won the election, they broke the Internet. \nSome were happy, others thankful, several worried and a few smug (those were the best). Nonetheless, their tweets helped chronicle Obama's victory against Gov. Mitt Romney on social media. \n\nThis happened because of you. Thank you.\n\u2014 Barack Obama (@BarackObama) November 7, 2012\n\n\nCongratulations PRESIDENT Barack Obama - again!\n\u2014 Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) November 7, 2012\n\n\nDear conservatives: there was no fraud, there was no stealing, and hard to see how status quo throws us to socialism.\n\u2014 Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) November 7, 2012\n\n\nIt's a shame that CNN is a time zone behind the other networks.\n\u2014 Seth Meyers (@sethmeyers21) November 7, 2012\n\n\nTHIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS!
