Not surprisingly, Election Night came with its share of memorable media moments:
- MSNBC host Chris Matthews wrapped up his post-election thoughts by noting, "I'm so glad we had that storm last week." He quickly added that he was just glad "politically … not in terms of hurting people," because superstorm Sandy brought in possibilities for good politics" and, presumably, led to Obama's win. He clarified further today, Fox News reports, tweeting: "I was thrilled at the cooperation between the President and state officials that made the country proud. Great bipartisanship." He added, "Obviously I wasn't talking about the horror of the storm. I grew up on the Jersey shore."
