On Election Night, an account parodying Chris Christie revealed a winning sense of humor in 140 characters or less.

"During the '08 election we tweeted about what they were doing on TV," tweeted Nick Bilton of The New York Times. "Four years later, TV is talking about what we're doing on Twitter." Indeed, Twitter was ascendant in this election season. Here, the best tweeted lines from Election Night 2012:

From a Chris Christie parody account:

Whew, so relieved that Fox News is now blaming blacks, Latinos and women instead of me for a Romney loss. #Vote

— Gov. Chris Christie (@GovChristieNJ) November 7, 2012

Ben Greenman at The New Yorker:

It's funny that CNN Is so conservative projecting states and FoxNews is so liberal.

Will Leitch at New York:

You're literally LAST person I trust on this. RT @algore Confident in saying President Obama is going to carry Florida. bit.ly/PpLrD1

Frank Sennett at Time Out Chicago:

I think Romney's working on that second speech.

Comedian/actor Patton Oswalt on forlorn Fox News reporters:

The people on FOX News are talking the way junkies do when they promise they can get clean in a week.

Political reporter Marin Cogan on CNN's Wolf Blitzer:

I keep running to the TV every time Wolf Blitzer says he has an announcement, and then feeling like an idiot for it gq.com/news-politics/…

Anonymous liberal @pourmecoffee:

The only remaining path for Romney now includes winning Narnia and Xanadu.

Joshua Topolsky at The Verge:

What if Obama comes out for his acceptance speech and is like: I actually was born in Kenya.

And of course, Donald Trump wasn't too happy with an Obama win:

We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012

Editor's note: This article originally (and incorrectly) suggested that the Christie parody account was the New Jersey governor's official Twitter. It has since been revised. We regret the error.
