"Free at last; free at last"

Thank you, Americans! Truly, thank you! Screw it, I was going to wait until we get likely get new results on the hours but MSNBC has Obama at 200 Electoral Votes, CNN has him at 199, etc. There are 73 votes between CA, OR & WA on the West coast that are going to go to Obama, as well as a few others that are pretty certain unless the pre-election polling was all truly insanely off by tremendous margins - McCain can't win. I'll confirm this when new data comes in, but if I were in charge, I think I'd be calling it.



Something I whipped up earlier, hoping for the best. I know, I know, the "mission" isn't even nearly accomplished yet - it's only just started in many ways. However, I guess I'm saying what Churchill said (far better); "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." And that's something to celebrate, IMO.

Thank you, guys! Now, let's see if there's a mandate.

Edit 1: Iowa goes blue for 207EVs per MSNBC.
Edit 2: MSNBC is saying that the South Dakota abortion ban has been defeated. Edit 4 As has Colorado. For that matter Michigan has approved medical marijuana and Massachusetts decriminalized the possession of an ounce or less of marijuana, per NBC.
Edit 3: With Jim Himes defeating Christopher Shays, there are no Republican Representatives in New England.

Edit 5: MSNBC & CNN CALL IT FOR OBAMA!
