I woke up about 7:15 am here and turned on Radio 4. The first sentence I heard contained the phrase, 'President-elect Obama'. I have to admit, I got quite teary eyed.
He has a lot of work ahead of him, but I think, for the first time in a long time, there is truly hope for my country of birth!
On a sour note, Prop 8 in California (to ban same-sex marriage) is at the moment looking like it might pass (52.5% in favour vs. 47.5% against). However, there are only 49% of precincts reporting, so there is HOPE!!

well at least we won't have to hear Sarah Palin's voice! unless of course she gets into the Senate due to Ted "What I have to record all the work getting done on my house?" Stevens being indited.
hey. the really sad part about Sarah Palin is that Tina Fey will be hanging up her SNL suits.
Yes, it is still so unbelievable. Our country feels like it has been taken back. Lots of work however we can own the ideas of community, compassion, opportunity, race, liberal, choice, intelligence and have open human discussions to explore and work together. The challenge to the status quo, chronyistic, power-base final we have said enough is enough. This is our America too.
