History in the Making

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Salon.com's top headline: Obama Wins.

Kieth Olbermann also calling it for Obama.

Fox News even calls Virginia for Obama, putting another nail in the as yet unconfirmed coffin.

Ohio and Pennsylvania are being called for Obama. Looks to me that Ohio may not be solid, but Pennsylvania is solid.

Remember when we were hearing blue collar Ohio and Pennsylvania would never vote for a black man?

If Ohio and Pennsylvania hold, Obama is 95% winning. The chances of McCain pulling this off have just gone almost to zero.
