Obama Makes History - washingtonpost.com

Woo hoo! I'm very happy about yesterday's results. The fact that the Bush years are fast drawing to a close and Obama is starting anew is great news for us. The Senate is good, but did not come as strong as expected. Although I'm not sure what happens if Stevens (R-AK) wins. I beleive that he will be expelled and replaced by someone of Palin's choosing?

Anyways, this is great stuff. I want to warn folks that the victory is not all Obama's. He ran a as flawless a campaign as anyone has. He also had a best tailwind since Nixon's pardon: with Bush's unpopularity, 8 years of GOP mismanagemet, and a cratering economy. If the economy had not had its slow motion collapse, Obama would have had a much tougher road. That being said, I beleive he would have won anyways only it would have been much a much later night. My point is take the victory as a mandate for change, not Democratic strong arm tactics. Obama's temperment will make him succesful and that's good for everyone.

BTW, Oh crap! Now he's got to clean up the mess Bush and the GOP has made. He's got to figure out Iraq, Afghanistan, the economy, credit crisis, global warming, etc. Good luck and God bless!
