President-Elect Barack Obama!
At 11:00 tonight, when the polls closed on the west coast, the political analysts declared Barack Obama the winner of the Presidential Election. At this point it's a landslide - 338 electoral votes to McCain's 156. Only 270 were needed to win. There are other states that have not reported, so the numbers will change, but there's no ambiguity in this election. No waiting for days, no hanging chads, no Supreme Court decision.
Watching the exuberance of the crowds - thousands and thousands of ecstatic, cheering, crying, flag waving people of all ethnic and social backgrounds - was a moment like none any of us have ever seen before. It's remarkable and wonderful. I'm so glad it happened in my lifetime, because I never thought I'd see the day. What an amazing event.
Obama will be speaking in a few minutes, and I'm sure it will be a great speech.
