HALLELUJA! This guy is a class act! Mark and Katia, so sorry I didnt know you were up, I'd have joined you. Was up ALL night and finally had a nap after the acceptance speech. At last the USA has done the right thing. I'm so relieved for the PLANET...I was seriously worried about Sarah Palin being within a heartbeat of the presidency. Whew! Thank God THAT's over. I feel I've been running myself! I began this thread way back, stomped off in fury at one of the posters, but will not lose this opportunity to sign off and say this was the most riveting drama I've ever followed. Happy end. Onward and upward Obama!!!

Yep, we waited until the acceptance speech. We're thrilled. I am also pleased at the scale of the win. 349 electoral college votes so far and 52% of the popular vote is just great.

Excellent news and excellent speach by Obama. I have to say also that McCain made a very gracious speech accepting defeat.

McCain's speech was good. "I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president."
