MSNBC just called Ohio for Obama - he just flipped his first red state.

Glad to know to matter how senile I get in my old age, I'll always have job security one day a year.  With one person in front of me, it took a loooong time to get signed in and be handed my ballot.

It felt wonderful to vote. I'm so proud of Barack Obama and the way he has handled his campaign, so it made the voting process a joy. A shining moment in difficult times. I like that voting took longer so I could savor casting a ballot during this crossroad in American history. If he doesn't win I will be disappointed, but I wouldn't "change" a thing about how the campiagn was conducted. If we lose this one, we lose it honestly. But hopefully that honesty is what voters will respond to and what will put Obama over the electoral top.

I voted, as I have for many years, in an elementary school audtorium. I love this room because it was designed to be a grand, theatrical room -- but for a bunch of midgets. So the rush of voting in a historic election was elevated even further by the fact that I physically felt like a giant in the room. Even the piano looked small - like you could hoist it above your head and throw it across the room. That wouldn't be a good idea as the job for this piano on Election Day was to hold up the poll worker's numerous coffee cups. I wouldhn't want to spill coffee on the ballots!

New Mexico just called for Obama.  Second Red State flipped.

MSNBC is saying 200 to 85.

For the first time in years... I'm starting to feel hope.

Can't they just call it now? With California and the west coast and Florida leaning, he's got it. Dewey vs. Truman still haunts them, I guess.

They don't call it until the west coast is closed.  Obama will be getting 73 electoral votes from our three states alone.  Looks good for the blue.
