PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA

posted by on November 4 at 19:05 PM

TIME Magazine’s Mark Halperin calls it. Nate Silver calls it. We’re calling it, too, for what that’s worth. The networks and the cable channels are going to have to call this as soon as Colorado and Nevada results come in. But it’s already over. The math doesn’t work anymore for McCain.

Oh hell yeah.

We just popped some champagne and smoked some of the green shit.

Wish I was in Chicago, that party looks awesome.

Yay!

Broke open the bubbly and ENJOYING it... I will head outside and bang pots and pans when the networks call 270. My husband will play Curtis Mayfield's "Move on Up". I look at my son and think of the kids and their future... for once in a long, long, time, I now have HOPE. OK, I'm gonna cry...
