5AM, but it was worth it to see history happening.

This is the first time I shed a tear of joy about a presidential election.

Amazingly enough, it was the first one I could vote in.

History has been made tonight.

Yes!

Now, to celibate for a few brief hours... and then try to figure out how to clean up the mess that Wonder Chimp left behind.

They are going nuts in Grant Park.

Dude, that's not what "celibate" means. The word you're thinking of is "celebrate".

Our long national twilight is finally over.

Fuck, I can hear people going nuts from here,and I live on the ass end of campus

FUCK, YEAHH!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!

500 years of oppression and now we run this beeyotch!!!

Part of me is imagining Bush and Cheney laughing their heads off for fucking over McCain once again by wrecking the country. Lol.

I have tears of joy running down my face right now. Now that we know we won, the next thing to see is whether it will be a complete landslide.

New York City is erupting in cheers and honking cars.

This is great news. Congratulations to Obama!

Jesus, I'm tearing up right now. This will be a day remembered by our descendants. We have overcome.

Mad celebrations in Kenya

I imagine the mood is considerably less celebratory in the Confederacy.

BBC so far have the count at 297EV for President-Elect Obama and 145 for the Gimp, who now has to go back in his box and will be haunted by the ghost of Obama for the rest of his life.

Ted Koppel is giving a sobering reminder of the challenges Obama will face come January 20th at home and abroad. It is well to be reminded of that even in this moment of triumph.

A great fucking day in American politics. I know I've liked Obama since before the primaries and I never, ever thought he'd make it. It's a great feeling to have the person who actually deserves the presidency to make it in, not the "lesser of two" that it seemed to be in past years.

Damn, I can't believe I missed that. Caffeine must be running low, need more coffee.

NOS has Obama at 324 EV's and climbing.

There are no words for how awesome this is! History has been made!

McCain just made a phone call to Obama and conceded.

Watching history on the making from here as well, awesome news -- congratulations to the new POTUS, Barack Obama!

A proud moment for the American Electorate. Hurrah and congrats to Obama.

I'm curious about the statement he'll make. If he wants to shine as a statesman, now's the time.
