The new President Elect is........
Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!! HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listening to McCain's concession speech right now.
He actually sounds like his old self and is giving a very gracious speech.
Good night all!
JDROLER-GREAT THOUGHT!
haaha justin, i don't know!
but i'm buying the paper tomorrow!
Now I have to stay up to watch his acceptance speech at midnight! I celebrated by doing a dance.
jdroller, why not go to the inauguration in February? Then you can tell the story to your grandchildren. Or you could collect political memorabilia. I don't know what will be worth money but tonight is worth more than anything money could buy 
WOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I just started a thread to pay tribute to John McCain's wonderful speech. I thank him.
:D :D :D
!!!
OK and now I'm crying! I got chills when he walked out
I can't stop crying tears of joy. I just can't stop...
my god, he's good. (and that's not ironic.)
Congratulations to Obama. He fought a hard race, and he made history. As an American, I will stand behind him 100% and I pray that he will be able to accomplish good things.
I just finished watching Obama speak... I can't wait to see what the future brings!!
By far, that was the greatest speech I have ever heard. How ANYONE of any color, or any party can listen to him or see what he has accomplished and not feel hopeful... UGHH I dont knwo I can't even think right now, I am in such shock! I have been bawling like a baby... with such joy and hope. believe me, I had almost no hope or faith in this country. ( and normally I am not a big sappy cheeseball like I am right now lol)
We are all apart of incredible history tonight.
Yes we can!
For some reason I didn't cry - but I couldn't stop myself from dancing.
Silly, joyous, poorly coordinated, victorious, exuberant, I don't care if anyone sees me, shake your booty, I don't need to worry about a workout tonight dancing!!!
I saw the speech, one of the best I've ever heard, and thought "Wow - that's MY President."
This is history, and we are here to witness and be a part of it.
Let's get to work ! (Ammend that: let's celebrate until we're too tired to stay awake, recover, and then get to work...) 
Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job
Oh - I so love The Onion...

Santo, you're evil and I love you.
(((((hugs))))) to the USA from Canada.
I can only imagine how you must feel. What a speach! I was so moved.
What faith in the faces of Obama's supporters. He certainly has the hearts of the people with him. A few people have said to me, it looks like New Years Eve. Its a new day that's for sure.
We are pulling for you!
