Obama Wins North Carolina
By Liza Porteus Viana
Obviously, this changes nothing in terms of who won the presidency. But it does mean that Barack Obama's candidacy helped redraw the electoral map even more than anyone thought.The Associated Press is now giving Obama North Carolina, concluding that there aren't enough uncounted ballots left for John McCain to overcome his lead. That win gives Obama 364 Electoral College votes, with Missouri the only state that's too close to call.North Carolina has traditionally been a solid red state, along with Virginia and Indiana, which Obama also won.No Democratic presidential hopeful has won North ...
What We Did and What We Need to Do
By Mark Impomeni
The polls have closed and the nation's voters have spoken. Sen. Barack Obama has been elected as the 44th President of the United States. The results were closer than the overwhelming landslide that many predicted, but a landslide is not necessary to elect a president. Looking at the election results, one thing is abundantly clear, this election was a complete and thorough repudiation of George W. Bush. In doing so, voters rejected Bush the man as much if not more than the Bush presidency.Exit polls show that over 70% of voters disapproved of the job George W. Bush did as president. Two-thirds ...
Best Concession Speech Ever?
By Christopher WeberI've never seen a candidate more gracious in defeat than was John McCain tonight. It was a perfect speech, delivered with humility and grace, sounding all the right notes. Over the past few weeks as his campaign saw victory slipping away, things got a little ugly out on the trail. It was hard for me to recognize the McCain that I once held in high esteem. There was a time I thought he'd make a fine president. Tonight I believe I was right; he would make a fine president. But it was not to be, and McCain holds no grudges. He made it perfectly clear that he serves his country first. Politics is ...

Paint the White House Black
By David KnowlesIf you're a Democrat, then you're having a big 'ol dance party right about now. May I suggest the following song, courtesy of George Clinton's ground-breaking 70's group, Parliament? To my friends on the right, yes, the title of this post, and the song lyrics are metaphorical. Yes, "real America" has voted, and it's pretty proud that the country has made history and looked beyond the idiocy of bogus attacks on patriotism, and fear of middle names and race. Congratulations, President-elect Obama! ...

President Barack 'Who's Sane' Obama
By Mo RoccaIt's the Temperament, stupid.Pundits used to argue over whether voters care more about Personality or Policy when it comes to their choice for President. But like so many other pieces of outdated conventional wisdom, the Personality vs. Policy theory is kaput. Temperament, that aspect of personality that informs decision-making, is what's propelled Barack Obama over John McCain. For almost two years of campaigning -- and few of us knew who he was before he began campaigning for the big job -- he's been consistently smart, sensible and steady. In a word, Sane.In his selection of a vice ...

Power for the People
By Caleb Howe
It's Election Day, 2008. Today you have to decide, once and for all, what you want America to do over the next four years. Despite the propagandizing from the left, both sides represent a significant change from George Bush, be it for ill or good. When you go to the polling locations, you'll be bombarded by last ditch pitches. You'll be given handouts and lists. By all means, vote your conscience or your party. It's your vote. Just think about some things while you are there, a pro/con list if you will. 1. A stable, relatively peaceful middle east benefits the whole world. It is in the ...
