    God Bless America. God Bless Obama, 40 years after the death of Martin Luther King, American blacks have been delivered to the Promised Land.
    Very well said.

    He was judged, not on the colour of his skin, but on the content of his character.

    And his character was judged to be exceptional.

    Damn it, you had to say that. I've had tears in my eyes for the last 14 minutes. But when I read what you wrote, I broke down and cried.

    Thank you. That post so summed up the history of tonight, the revolution that we have witnessed, forty years after MLK was killed, forty years after RFK was killed. Today the wrong done to Martin Luther King was righted. The new era begins. And we are blessed to have witnessed it.

    I heard that McCain had called Obama a while ago on NPR, I think.
    Listening to his concession speech. It's a good one.

    On Obama becoming President Elect. Yippeee.

    A decent man representing an indecent Party, he must have looked around him on some days and thought 'Who the hell am I mixed up with'...
