PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK OBAMA!!!!!

I can honestly say I have never woken up with Lee Greenwood in my head before, but today I can't seem to shake his "Proud to Be an American".

This election means a lot a things to a lot of people (and to me personally), and says a lot about Our Country.
Our Need for a New Direction
Our Ability to Move past the small politics of character assassination
Our Attitude toward race
Our Desire for a Change
And an understanding and Belief that We Could Do it

I know. I'm in the clouds right now, but this win was not by a narrow margin. This was not close. 349 (so far) electoral votes to 163. 52% of the popular vote (62,956,752 votes) to 46% (55,764,284). President-Elect Barack Obama's 52% of the popular vote marked the first time in 44 years a Democrat reached 51 let alone passed it. Obama's 50 State strategy, which Chairman Dean laid the foundation for, led him to victory in republican strongholds like Colorado, Indiana, Virginia, Nevada . Barack Obama won Ohio And Florida, and Pennsylvania wasn't close (by 10%).

We Did It! We Truly Did. But to tell you the truth, until Barack Obama takes the oath of office on January 20th, 2009 Officially making the 44th President, I don't think I'll fully believe it. Thank you to everyone that did anything to help this to happen. And most importantly THANK YOU to EVERYBODY that VOTED for Barack Obama for the President of the United States of America.

In other election news, The Democrats picked up 5 seats in the Senate, making their majority 56 to 41 (that includes LIEberman, who I think should be thrown out on his ass) and picked up 18 seats in the House making that majority 252 to 173. Massachusetts voted to decriminalize marijuana and South Dakota voted Down a Statewide ban on abortion.

More on other people's reactions later... and it's Worldwide!

To Progress! GObama!
