Well, shit, Prop 8 was passed.

What a speech by Obama. Pure inspiration at a time when we could surely use it.

Okay, not to take away from Obama's big win, but how about some other races.

Currently, Prop 8 in California is winning, but not by much, and not every vote has been counted there.

Coleman and crazy lady Bachmann are winning in Minnesota.

Hagan beat Dole in North Carolina.

Still waiting on Stevens in Alaska.

Currently, 56 Democrats in the Senate, 40 Republicans.

I don't care how cheesy this sounds or if this is the wrong thread of whatever:

I am so happy about what we have done as a country. We have elected a man that I think is the closest canidate to perfect in this day and age for this country.
I am proud to say I volunteered for his campaign for the past 16 months.

The sheer numbers show a wave has swept across this country.
A 3+ million popular vote lead and possibly before the night is over 350(!?) Electoral votes. That is more than a "squeaker". That shows how many people in this country are ready to change our country's course.
I am not a sappy person, but Obama's speech moved me to tears.

All of the craziness of this election season is behind us. We only have the future in front of us and this is a future we get to shape.

Michigan: Allow stem cell research wins.
South Dakota: Abortion limits loses.
Washington: Allow doctor-assisted suicide wins.

Looks like Obama won North Carolina AND Indiana, as well. That should leave the total tally at 364 electoral votes, which is an absolute demolition.

So far more people in Arizona voted 'yes' on our marriage proposition than Senator McCain for POTUS.

THANK YOU AMERICA!

I never thought I would see this day in my lifetime, and every time I think about it my eyes fill with tears. Watching Jesse Jackson as he cried has to be one of the most moving, poignant things I have seen, when you think of all he has lived through, when you think that he was shoulder to shoulder with Martin Luther King all those years ago. All those years ago, yet still in my lifetime and almost yesterday in historical terms, an African-American was not allowed a seat on a bus! A truly momentous day.

It is going to be tough because so much is on this man's shoulders, and he has a huge, huge task in front of him. Two wars. Economic meltdown. Global Warming. So many things that he needs to address. Some have spoken of it as a poison chalice, but I think he is up to the task.

An enormous tectonic shift has taken place and people around the world are in love with your country again.
