It's filler right now. They are interviewing random friends of Obama who are telling feel good stories about his strength and character. Sample commentary: "The economy is becoming the wave in this election." Really?? Going to hang out with friends and eat apple pie while we watch the ball drop. I'm pretty sure by midnight, the liberal illuminati will be partying like it's 1999.
They already called PA.. I think CNN has Obama fever.
German TV just called Ohio. "Obama, douze points".
Roei- Why not? They're going to get a lot of juicy inside White House stories for the next 4 (8?) years a la Fox News the last 8 years.
We reap what we sow.
I am sure we'll all enjoy the next four years, having elected a crypto-socialist, especially if we're underemployed academics.
Imagine, if you will, Obama as the bulwark against the excesses of Pelosi and Reid.
Lacking the fortitude and pragmatism of the Clintons, we're all doomed. Doomed I tell you, doomed!
A crypto-socialist? Please. Obama will be a centrist. Pru, please find a bridge and launch yourself off of it. We need fewer of your type
Congratulations to President-elect Obama. May he have only success in the White House.
He only said change 6 times in the acceptance speach, If I'd been drinking on "can" I wouldn't be able to post this.
Ears are still ringing. Throat is still hoarse. I have probably high fived more people tonight in DC than I have in the past year total.
Yeah, when I wake up I'm still going to be a cynic, but damn if the crowd at Pennsylvania Avenue isn't enough to get the entire city going.
I wish him the best in the White House. Congratulations to Barack Obama - you earned this.
It's always surprised me how people can get so excited about any candidate. To me, every election seems like picking the least bad person for the job... then again, I appreciate that government, in general, is bad. A necessary evil, I understand, but free people should always want less of it. Clearly, not everyone feels the same way.
good luck to you in Obamaland for 4 years :))...the good side is economy will go down for few years whatever he does and foreign policy will be a mess at any rate thanks to Russians and Iranians..at the Dems will take all the blame :))
Interestingly, some of my neighbors celebrated with fireworks. At 11:30 PM. I'm glad for the country, but cranky with lack of sleep.
