Fukkodeer...I'm a bit drunk. That was one of the best speeches I've ever heard...young Mr. Obama has studied a few President Clinton speeches, to be sure...he inspired the chit out of me tonight. Sen. McSame's speech was pretty good, I think...leave out not only the references to how great Palin was (he was behind the 8 ball already, she ended it), and the fact that his great "American" supporters booed every time he said something nice about Obama (yeah, they're Americans)...he was gracious, Presidential, smart, conciliatory, and far reaching...I think he might actually be a fine ally of Obama's in the Senate. Fish on... Todd P.S. Someone remind me to call the cleaners to get all the champagne off the furniture tomorrow...my bottle damn near exploded at 8:01pm tonight, and most of it went everywhere but in a glass

I think it was a great nation all along, too...that very fact is why things went the way they did tonight.
We've always been a great nation...even the last eight years...we're just going to go back to being even greater now.
Fish on...

Two things that jump out at me while watching the coverage. One, the word mandate is being used. While he did when the electoral vote by a landslide, is it really a mandate when the popular vote is much closer. I guess I would think a true mandate would take a 60% or greater vote. The second thing that strikes me is that it is obvious that many liberals really thought a black man couldn't win. I, as a conservative, really had no doubt. I think Colin Powell would have one by a landslide if he had run as a republican. I can understand African-Americans being excited, but I really hope this election wasn't about race but about a good candidate. Tonight race was focused on as much or more than anything. I understand its historic, but at the same time feel it should be proof that the issue is more moot than anything, not more important. The best or worse, I truely believe he has the potential for both.

No matter how you voted......it's time to move on as Americans.
There's alot of work to do in this country.
Let's get to it......... Now lets quote a line from Spaceballs..."Lonestar.. I see your Schwartrz is as big as mine..Now lets see how well you handle it"...Is he about endurance or is he about just getting his rocks off????? I sincerely hope that he is as good a statesman as he is an orator.Only time will tell.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

You ran out?!? What the hell kind of planning was that? I stocked up bigtime. I KNEW my guy was going to get trounced, so I wanted to get real sauced-up to watch the drama. If I was an Obama voter, I'd redistribute some your way..............but I'm a Ron Paul guy, so I'll just go ahead and keep it for myself. It's not too late to run to the store.............is it?

Still would have been the best "bush" in the White House. Kona Cone in the corner of the Oval office would be the best bush. I 'spect with her recent makeover they went south of the border for a bit of cleanup anyway...maybe a pictorial in Playboy is in her future. Stam--quite worrin about the bush in the White House-----get that bondo spread, we got things ta do!

Hey, didn't you tell me that you had a case of The Abyss..... Run out???? One can't drink more than a bottle of the stuff per night, let alone attempt to drink a case in that short order. I'm not buying that excuse! How's the hangover this am?

I drank a bit too much last night. Didn't feel so hot as I went to bed. Felt good about the election, but not so good in my stomach. Note to self: chicken goes well with one bottle of chardenay, but don't try to polish off two!
I thought McCain's concession speech was outstanding work (well all except the props to Palin, but hey, he was supposed to say nice things in a concession speech) and really well delivered. I found myself thinking that if he campaigned talking like that, he would have pursuaded a lot more votes, despite the Bush turds that shackled his campaign.
Obama ran an outstanding campaign, and gave an inspirational victory speech, but really, he should have thanked the Bush administration for ensuring the ultimate success of his election. I thought the Dems were taking a risky path with their two frontrunners being a female and a black in what was highly likely to be a very close election. Small but significant demographics who just won't vote for a female or a black make an important difference if the election is going to be close. Only the misery that is Bushco could tip an otherwise close balance. Just this once, I thank George Bush and his miserable administration for giving us Obama as our next president.
