Virginia went Blue. Well done. And yes, I was on CNN.com hitting refresh every minute last night watching those returns come in.
I’m still fumbling about for words.
I wish my Mom had been alive to see this. She would have loved it. When she moved to Atlanta as a child, there were still separate water fountains. And look how far we’ve come.
I was amazed it was over and done so early - I really thought we’d be up half the night counting and watching and waiting.
McCain’s concession speech was exceptionally classy. Little bro & I went up to the pub and watched Obama’s acceptance speech. Though the pub leans a little more right than left, there were a few teary eyes and a fair amount of smiles. The shot of the throngs of people celebrating in front of the White House had me grinning from ear to ear. I have never seen an election where people were so downright joyous at the outcome.
Congratulations President-Elect Obama.

good job! i’ve never seen an election here in the u.s. where people were so ‘dancing in the streets’ and, furthermore, i would have laid down some cash that it would not happen. i’m tickled to be so wrong.
