It's been called for Obama!

Now the real work begins...

Awwww. There are African-American news people and politicians on the verge of tears they're so happy. ♥

Damn it...I'm starting to cry again.

President-elect Obama. Goddamn. I'm crying again.

God bless 'em for holding it together at all, given how this white girl is way past the verge of tears. I'm just so happy on so many levels.

Rev. Jesse Jackson is crying! I think I'm going to cry in a second!

I don't think I've never experienced anything that nerve-wracking. Go Team Us! [I'm so proud of New Hampshire. And Ohio.]

I just can't stop crying. I'm going to completely lose it when Obama speaks in Chicago.

Congrats. I wish you all the strength to undo the damage of the last 8 years.

Now to prepare breakfast for the teenager and send her off to school.

CANADA CONGRATULATES YOU!!
At least, all the Canadians I know!! There are parties all over the city, celebrating here.
This was an awesome demonstration of the power of the people to come together for the sake of their country. Bravo!!
As you say, now comes the hard part.

DUDE! People are driving up and down Mass Ave blaring We Are the Champions and screaming. It's like the world series or something, but so much better!

The AP just called Indiana for Obama. Bush won that state by 21 points in 2004. Talk about a political sea change.

Heartfelt congratulations from across the pond! And heartfelt hopes for undoing some of the damage ... It really leaves you breathless to think of people who lived under legal segregation in the US in their youth - and now !?!?!? ::mind reels::

We did, didn't we? :) *hugs*

What's this weird feeling? Is it, is it pride? Pride for my country, of all things?

I really didn't think America could/would do it. But they did. Now I just pray that Obama won't mess up.

Oh, and it was really surreal watching election day from Japan. Oddly nerve wracking as well.

Problem is, now he's got to lead. I'm glad Obama got elected too (DAMN I am, we had a election party in my flat and I don't even live in the US) but he's only human. With this level of build-up, will he be able to live up to the hype? He's got a bloody hard job in front of him sorting out the whole sub-prime mess.

Did you see Condoleeza Rice lose it during her interview? The emotion of the thing is crossing party lines.
