If you think Barack Obama's presidency will make me sit down, you have another thing coming. #tcot\u2014 Amy Lutz (@amylutz4) November 7, 2012\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI'm sad for future generations who will dine on the crumbs of despair never knowing the feast of freedom they could have had. #tcot\u2014 gtrburn (@gtrburn) November 7, 2012\n\n\n\nAmong the #tcot posts, one Twitter user referred to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's collaboration work with \u2014 and later praise of \u2014 Barack Obama in superstorm Sandy's cleanup as \"treasonous\" and unforgettable. \n\n\n\nI'm not blaming @govchristie for the loss... I'm saying we won't forget his treasonous behavior in the last few days of this race. #tcot\u2014 NYCguy2012 (@NYCGuy2012) November 7, 2012\n\n\n\nOthers focused less on attacking, and instead on congratulating Mitt Romney for a hard-fought campaign. \n\nThank you @mittromney for all you and your family did to try to save this country. We appreciate it all tremendously. #tcot #RomneyRyan2012\n\u2014 Sistervative (@Sistervative) November 7, 2012\n\nFormer General Electric CEO, and noted Republican, Jack Welch congratulated President Obama. \n\n\n\nCongratulations to Pres Obama and his team on their terrific victory..\u2014 Jack Welch (@jack_welch) November 7, 2012\n\n\n\nMeghan McCain, blogger for the Daily Beast and daughter of Senator John McCain, said she was \"heartbroken,\" but added that the Republican party \"has to evolve or it's going to die.\" She extended a congratulations to the Obama campaign as well.  \n\n\nTough night for republicans, thanks to Mitt Romney for running hard and I give credit to President Obama for running a successful campaign.\u2014 Meghan McCain (@McCainBlogette) November 7, 2012\n\nDid you keep track of the election results through Twitter?
