History in the Making

SLIDESHOW : Election Night with the Obamas [UPDATED!]


There are several photographs there where you can see Obama has been or is on the verge of crying. These are an absolutely amazing look into the our new President.

[UPDATE @ 3:38PM]
I can't believe that after I spent the whole day re-creating the damn Flickr slideshow the thing is now working. AUGH!

Anyhow, you can also see my curated slideshow of these photographs at my NING multimedia site : Barack Obama's Election Night.

VIDEO THE VOTE : My Election Day

Waiting in line to vote:


This line doesn't look long but for my neighborhood polling place it is. Especially since there were already 50 people in line waiting by 7am.

One hour later, I voted :


It was an incredibly emotional vote, to say the least.

Concession...Landslide

McCain is conceding. And is giving the best speech of his campaign.

Obama is winning with over 300 electoral votes, as predicted by Chuck Schumer, and is on his way to a landslide.

I have heard for all my life the question, "Is America ready for a black president?"

TONIGHT, the answer is: "YES, by a fucking landslide."

Thank you McCain for a wonderful concession speech. Thank you Obama for one of the best campaigns in history. Thank you America for making history.

MSNBC: Florida for Obama

MSNBC declares Florida for Obama.

Mahoney loses (good riddence even if he was, nominally, a Republican)

FL-24 a pick up for Dems. Feeney out.

Colorado and New Mexico for Obama

Colorado called for Obama on MSNBC. Along with New Mexico, called much earlier. So much for the "Hispanics will never vote for a black man" that we heard from Republicans.

MSNBC: "Oh, Virginia Went for Obama, By the Way"

The most kick ass quote of the evening:

"Oh, Virginia Went for Obama, By the Way."

Oh, by the way, a formerly slave holding state that included the capital of the Confederacy just was declared for a black man for President.

History HAS been made and Virginia just made a huge statement for progress.

Wow. Just wow.

QUOTES

Its time for the IRS to start revoking religious tax exempt privileges. If religious entities and leaders are going to continue to meddle ass-deep in politics, then its time for them to start paying for the government they so vociferously peddle.

Especially since they've thrown off all semblance of separation from government and are now actively working with elected representatives to pass an anti-gay marriage Constitutional Amendment...
