It's over.
Barack Obama has been elected the next President of the United States, and in spite of a close popular vote (but hardly challenge-it-in-the-courts close) the electoral college wasn't close; even without all of the votes counted, projected counts all indicate (even on Fox) that Obama has gone well over the 270 electoral votes necessary to secure victory.
(11:13 PM--There has just been a report that John McCain has made the phone call.)
History has been made.
I'll have more to say about this tomorrow, but for now I just wanted to make a note of the fact that he did it. For now, I'll just say this:
Mr. Obama, for good or ill the nation is yours to lead. Lead it well.

well said, sir.
...can't wait to see what else you have to say on the matter. ;)
Woohoo!
That being said, I feel for the man and his family.
I wouldn't wish this job on my worst enemy!
I liked how he summoned a new spirit in his speech. I hope people can get behind him and we can make some real changes. I just don't know how we can clean up this nasty mess that 8 Bush years left us in.
But if anyone can...
Yes, We Can!?
Yes.
8-)
And so it begins...
And now, join me in a moment of prayer. "THANK GOD IT'S OVER!" Amen.
LCoHaL said "I just don't know how we can clean up this nasty mess that 8 Bush years left us in."
Start with the easy stuff. If Bush made it so without Congressional approval, REPEAL IT ON DAY ONE!
DHS Constitutional oversteps -- REPEALED!
Security Theater -- REPEALED!
Warrantless Wiretaps -- REPEALED!
NSA powers that we don't even know about -- REPEALED!
$700 BILLION Bailout for Criminal banks -- REPEALED
$25 BILLION additional aid for auto companies which stifled Green vehicles -- DENIED
If you don't know what else to repeal, check Slashdot.org and John Velner's Inner Ear.
Today, the Bells of Change are pealing. Tomorrow, let the RE-PEALING begin.
