    Nope, I hope they kick out Lieberman and get rid of his chairmanship.

    Reagan beat Mondale 525/13 in 1984. I don't think it's been any worse than that.

    Franken is barely ahead right now in Minnesota but it's essentially tied. If Franken wins then Dems get up to 58. Georgia is going to be tough. Chambliss is up 55-41 with 88% of precincts reporting. Who knows if Alaskans will actually boot Ted Stevens or not.

    CNN is trying to interview Bernice King and it was funny because King was talking but you couldn't understand anything she was saying because of the HUGE celebration going on behind her. Wish her dad could have seen this.

    I can't really find the words to describe today. One of my closest friends in the world had her first child at 6:30 this morning...a beautiful baby boy. My wife went to the doctor to confirm that she is indeed pregnant with our second child, due June 19th.

    Finally, this amazing night where our great country just elected President-Elect Barack Obama.

    God bless America.

    Maybe the show 24 isn't so implausible after all. ;)

    I've been waiting for this since I saw his speech four years ago at the National Convention. I knew it was coming. I can't believe it's happening. I'm not African-American, but this is amazing. The story of our president-elect shows that, like he just said, anything is still possible in America.

    History is happening right now.
