Must admit, I’m shocked
He did it. Obama is the next president of the United States. I kinda figured he'd win, but I thought they wouldn't be able to call it until late in the evening. I'm still a bit in shock how the electoral vote wasn't even close. Even the popular vote wasn't as close as I expected it to be.
John McCain talked about how he understood the pride and excitement that African Americans feel over Obama's win. It naturally means more to them than to anyone else, but this is a historic moment for all of us. I think this is the first time in my 23 years of voting that I actually felt some sense of pride and hope in our country after a presidential election.
