President-Elect Obama

I'm grateful to have had a unique perspective on the rise of Barack Obama to be the President-Elect tonight. I voted for him for U.S. Senator in 2004. It seems like he's been on this road to the White House since not long after that. It's been a long campaign, and it's been hard fought. I'm happy tonight for the turn our country has taken. The problems we face are global problems, and we have elected the best possible ticket to lead the US. I respect McCain, but I'm relieved he's not going to be President. More than anything, I'm glad for everyone that this is over. And that it ended the way it has.
