Sarah Palin looks like she is about to burst into tears She better not ruin that 6k makeup job! And I agree about McCain... though he rambled, that speech was classier than anything he has said in the past 6-7 months.

The Minnesota Senate race is close. With 51% of the precincts reporting it stands at 42.2% for Coleman (R) and 41.4% for Franken (D).

I think its still too close to call it, the precints just closed less than an hour, so I still have hope that we all voted fairly! I was so excited!! I got home and there it was OBAMA WON! I was in tears, can't wait to hear him speak!! Seeing Jesse Jackson cry just got to me!

Seeing Jesse Jackson cry just got to me! me too I'm still speechless. Wow. I can't even celebrate yet, I'm still just feeling relief. I feel like I've been anxiously holding my breath for so long. The sudden release of tension has given me a massive headache. I've never been so happy to have a headache. Ooo. He's gonna speak.

I know me too, I was so happy when I got home, now just to wait for some of the results on the propositions . Jesse Jackson was just pure honest emotion, he was there with MLK, and now he gets to see his dream come true...i know its sounds mushy, but I don't care! lol ;D

What a great speech. My eyes are not dry. What a thing this is! I've overjoyed and deeply moved.
We also have elected one who is probably going to be the best presidential rhetorician since JFK. It may not seem important, but we need that too.
Now 76 and a half days until he's in office.

I was thinking that his speech was going on a bit long, but then I realised what a great orator he is.
And he made a point of including gay people.
That was special to me, even though I'm straight.

Well, last I check B-Chick, Prop 4 is still tied.

Congrats to President-Elect Obama!!
Now... if we can just have a better result on the Prop 8....
