Haha, DS, I'm actually stunned - I did not see that coming. Whoa.

Also, I hate to pull the Popeye, but apparently I am what I am. Unreal.

The music here to the "outro" is a little overwrought, but I don't blame them - I'd bask/revel and let the crowd go apeshit too, I guess. Seriously, Obama's win wasn't because McCain sucked or he picked a bad VP or because he ran a negative campaign - those were all the result of Obama's campaign. He won because he motivated the electorate like no one since maybe JFK - it's really a phenomenon, and it'll be interesting to see whether the outgoing results agree with the fervor coming in. It's definitely an exciting and bizarre time for Americans.

I'd slightly disagree with how Obama won, but I don't blame him for taking it all in. If I won the Presidency, I would go for the most melodramatic musical opening available. Soak in the moment - it's not guaranteed to happen again.

He ran a fantastic campaign, and I give a lot of credit to his campaign workers. They kept him as the favorite throughout the election. I cannot wait to see the perspective of the McCain workers, as I think his campaign might go down with the Dukakis campaign as one of the worst in history.

I just saw on CBS that "Yes on Prop 8" is leading by over 200,000 votes. There is still a long way to go because it's only at 32% precincts so far.

I'm very surprised with how things are going with CA and Prop 8?

You're not the only one. I live here in California and I'm stunned by this. I really hope to wake up and find that the results have changed.

^^^I second that.. just be happy that for those of us that did support Obama that our voices were heard and change will be implemented and for McCain supporters it was good while it lasted..pretty soon our country is going to have to unite to combat the change that needs to occur so there's no need to prolong the division that the election has caused among opposing parties.

I can't wait for the inauguration I'm already beginning the search for places to watch it in DC

What's going on in North Carolina?
It probably doesn't matter now but at 98% reporting MSNBC is reporting that it is 50/50.

Those of us who live in NC want to know what the hell is going on here too.

Every election people say they're leaving because their candidate didn't win. Every election, people whose candidate won say "Well then go" to the people who say they are leaving.

I knew someone who was quite fond of saying "If you don't like George W. Bush, then get the **** out!" to liberals in a classroom setting. Apparently she forgot that George W. Bush was not voted in (either time) by 100%.

She must be crapping her pants right now.

I am sooo happy Obama won!!! He represents the melting pot that America is today!

And people shouldn't be bitter about McCain losing. Think about it, you voted in THE MOST HISTORICAL ELECTION IN THIS COUNTRY'S HISTORY!!!! That is huge!!!

And by the way, if you didn't vote, you have absolutely no right whatsoever to bitch, moan, and complain about how Obama does or doesn't run the country. You lost out on that right when you decided not to vote.
