Well, that was an early night!
Not that I’m complaining. I have a big meeting in the morning, and I wasn’t looking forward to getting up after just a little bit of sleep, should it have come to that. But it didn’t.
Barack Obama is our next President.
Virginia hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1964, and they voted for a black man. That shit is crazy.
John McCain is giving a concession speech right now, and it’s a nice one. I don’t hate the man. I feel bad for him, because he’s lost, and he lost because he made some bad choices. Sarah Palin is the most obvious terrible choice, but also he also agreed to the Bush 2000 campaign team, and I think it ultimately lost him the election. If he’d run as himself, I think it might have been a longer night.
I’m glad to see the last of Sarah Palin on the national level. No way will she be clean enough for 2012. Fox News, fine, but not 2012. If Obama can beat McCain and the Bushies 2000, he can sweep the floor with Palin, and the Republicans know that. I’m not saying we won’t see someone similar in 4 years, as they obviously learned how to create some excitement with the base, but it won’t be Palin.
Damn, it feels good to be an American right now. It’s been some time since I’ve said that.
You are right. I might even fly a flag again.
