The election that seemed like it would never end is finally over.
For the first time in a long time (ever?) I can say I’m excited for my friends, colleagues and neighbours to the south. Who knows what the next 4 years with President Obama will bring, but at a minimum it will be immeasurably better than the last 8, and at best it could be a lot more. Only time will tell.
Unfortunately it seems like Al Franken may have lost his bid for a Senate seat by the slimmest of margins. I would have loved to see such an intelligent and outspoken person there. Right now his race is showing too close to call, as the difference is only about 500 votes, but that doesn’t bode well.

I can’t let a post like this go without a hell-yeah-we-did-it comment!
Hell yeah! We did it!
I really didn’t think it would happen. I mean I knew he was ahead in the polls but I figured the Republicans would find a way to pull it off again. John McCain was gracious in defeat, and showed some of the dignity that was missing from his campaign for months.
I’d like to say a special thanks to Sarah Palin for proving that women won’t support a woman with bad policies just because she’s a women, and by extension, that if a black man with Palin’s qualifications had run, he’d have been laughed off the stage, even by black people.
