WHAT A DAY!

Just finished watching John McCain's concession speech, and Barack Obama's speech on CNN. This was a very rare election year for me - I thought both candidates would make excellent Presidents - the VP choice is what guided my vote. I thought about getting up very early this AM to see how it was going - but ended up getting up at my usual 6 am on Wednesday (that's 10 pm Tuesday on the East Coast). At that point Virginia hadn't been called yet. I am so glad my kids were awake and watching when their home state - Virginia, the capital of the Confederacy - went for Obama! John McCain's speech was excellent - he is a great American and I am glad he will remain in the Senate. Obama's speech was also excellent - kudo's to all the speech writers. I wish his Grandmother had lived to see this moment. Also loved it when Obama and Biden brought Biden's mother to the front of the stage. At this writing it looks like the Democrats will have a majority in the Senate - but not a filibuster proof majority. That's good too - feel it is best when the parties have to work together.

What a day!
