Pretty cool that we have an African American president, I must say! I hope we see a woman in my lifetime!

Maybe an ASIAN woman. Hee hee.

There''s still time, just be more careful about picking a VP when your turn comes.

TGal in 2020!

Hehehe...no can do. Missed being born here by 8 months. I''ll just be a good citizen and keep voting.

I''m actually happy. I would have loved McCain as well (but not Palin, so he really lost me on that one), but I am so pleased that we elected a person of color. We had a very tough time through the LA riots and I wondered if people would ever get past color. I actually didn''t think we''d see a black president in my lifetime.

What about TTot?! Half Asian and half Australian!

TTot in 2056!!!!

Count on it Mate!

(actually I''d rather her be a pro golfer).

 

[princesss]

I would be in tears if I wasn''t in shock.

I''m so so so happy right now. SO happy.

Now I just have to wait for Prop 8.

(Btw, TGal, I would suggest letting go of poor TGuy''s balls.)

And heck, let''s go Amelia for 2040! (Besides, with a red mama and coming from blue balls, we''ll get a great, purple candidate.)

Does anyone think it strange that Obama chose to share the party with thousands and thousands of people but McCain had an invite only 1000 person "celebration"?

Ooooh 5 mins until McCain''s speech!

Did I miss out on all the holograms??

 

[kama_s]

Looks like McCain''s going to concede!!

 

[Irishgrrrl]

For some reason, I was OK until CNN showed Jesse Jackson crying. I just lost it!

 

[Lauren8211]

Ok. The tears are still coming.

I can''t believe this. My faith is renewed in this country. I couldn''t be happier.

What a great birthday present to ME!!

 

[Skippy123]

speechs are starting.

 

[iheartscience]

Here it goes! Wow. McCain supporters are booing! Classy!

 

[mercoledi]

He seems more vigorous than he has in recent appearances. So far, it''s a nice speech.

I think McCain knew deep down that he wouldn''t have anything to celebrate tonight.

I was proud of him that he shushed the crowd when they booed Obama a second ago!

Oh come on...Al Core''s supporters Boo''d when he conceeded, as did Kerry''s.

Say what you will, John McCain is a gentleman in my book, and one with a sense of humor to boot.

Absolutely. McCain is being very classy.

 

[vintagecushion]

Just got home to tune into CNN. What an amazing, historic election!

 

[kama_s]

And he DID concede!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F*CK YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

That was a surprisingly gracious speech. I''m glad.

 

[princesss]

This is clearly so hard for McCain. I really do think that he''s a good guy (but I''m glad my guy won).

Thanks, IG!!!

26 is going to be a good year!! Barack can help me through my 30th. LOL

 

[Clairitek]

I just realized that I was about 2 minutes behind everyone because I paused the DVR to tell boyfriend that Obama had won.

I was wondering how you all knew they were booing... heh.

[qtiekiki]

Poor McCain. He looks like he want to cry.

I feel bad for him. I think his campaign people and Palin ruined it for him.

 

[Haven]

Love the call for unity. McCain is being a class act right now.
