Barack Obama took the presidency tonight after breakthrough wins in Ohio and Virginia. At 8 p.m. PST, as soon as the polls closed in California, Oregon and Washington, the networks called the election of President Barack Obama. Republican candidate John McCain suffered losses in Ohio, the state that narrowly gave President George W. Bush victory in 2004, but also in key states like Pennsylvania, Iowa and New Mexico.
There are a number of Senate seats that have not yet been decided, and we will keep on top of that, but for now congratulations to the Democrats and Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States.

10I am so overwhelmed right now. I didn't think I would have this emotional of a reaction...I'm speechless, this means so much more than just having a Democrat win. This is such an amazing moment...
11Oh, yes we did!
12I can't believe it! I am so happy...I worked with so many people who worked so hard to make this happen...it just makes me feel so much more apart of the "national community" than anything ever has. I have talked to so many of my fellow countrymen on the phone about issues that matter to us all, and it feels so great that we all did this together as a team.
13YES WE CAN!!!!!
14I am so, so happy right now! It hardly seems believable, but I'm glad America is finally leading up to its promise.

18Thank you bluesarahlou.
I heard that Obama had over 5 million volunteers helping his
campaign. I think we just learned the power of being involved citizens. 
19Congrats to Barak Obama. Now, we are going to be watching closely. You better live up to the promise you gave us during the campaign.

24Amazing, good luck to him.
25Thank God for California.
26CONGRATS OBAMA!!!!
27Finally, that old turd in the White House is history! Oh gosh, it's about time.
Most of all, what a relief that Sarah Palin will be miles away from the White House. The very thought of her possibly becoming president was enough to make me consider turning Dutch and moving to Holland.
28Woohoo! Congrats Obama! Congrats to all you Americans from us here in Canada!
29I'm so freaking happy. People are screaming and cars are honking on my street (in manhattan). Union Square Park is filled with people jumping up and down.
30so depressing
congrats to obama
31I am so overwhelmed with excitement right now. I am trying really hard to not cry
BTW even if you do not support Obama I think that people should at least recognize the great importance of witnessing the first African American president to be elected. You are witnessing ground breaking history. Who knows when it will happen again. We are such a progressive country it is about time that we show that through the people we elect
32LANDSLIDE!!!!!!
33McCain's speech going on right now... I really, really like it!

38I just fill so incredibly moved, beyond tears. I can't explain it...
39THIS IS AWESOME! BEYOND WORDS....
40So what percentage does Barak have to win by to be a landslide? It's looking like close to 2 to 1 in the electoral. Will be interesting to see the final popular as well.
