and the winner is

even though he won, i cried anyway. What a remarkable feeling, to witness all of this. How sad that his grandmother died right before he was elected. His acceptance speech was great: solemn, quiet, humble. He sounds like someone who inspires unity. And not in the “im a uniter not a divider” buffoon jackass kindof way. I thought John McCain’s speech was the best he’d given all year – gracious, respectful, and yes, humble. It must be very sad for him, he obviously won’t be able to run again.

I never thought I’d utter these words: I’m proud of the way my state voted.  We are so white-redneck- republican-racist-jesus-loving,  it’s truly gross. As of this moment, our returns STILL aren’t all in, but it looks pretty damn good. Way to go North Carolina! I live in Raleigh;  my county was a surprising shade of blue.

Way to go America. I hope Obama can get something positive accomplished. What a mess he has inherited.
