I Just Witnessed History

Ok, I'm watching the election coverage... seriously, who isn't?

And I'd like to say that Barack Obama has just been projected to win the Presidency by CNN. The electoral college votes are 297 to 139!!!!

OMG, OMG, OMG people - we just witnessed history!!!! I'm so happy right now!!!

***Update*** - Ok, final electoral vote count for Obama is 338, McCain is 159. I watched McCain's concession speech and was very impressed with his humility. While watching him, my dad pointed out that this was the McCain that he used to like. What did this election do to him?

However, I have to tell you, I was moved to tears after hearing Obama's acceptance speech. (What's with the emotions today?) Seeing Michelle and their girls walk out so proudly was so cute. And I love that Obama said they were taking a puppy with them to the White House. Most of all, I am so unbelievably excited to see this country turn around and to see what Obama will be able to do with the Presidency! Congratulations, President Obama!
