I really doubted that this would happen. But it actually did, and I think it will really make a difference. This is America sort of saying to the world - hey, those war mongering guys were never us. This is the real us - the guy who thinks, the guy who does not fit the mould, the guy who never wanted a war. In so many ways, the U.S has shown how agile it is, and why it's number 1.

Why did you doubt it? About a month ago, it became apparent to me that it was going to be a blowout. I've been confident Obama would win for several months...but it wasn't until the desperation in the McCain campaign began to show through so clearly (Palin, in particular), that I realized how badly he was going to lose. As of a few days ago, I was expecting a Reagan-style landslide, and I wasn't disappointed. And, I question the "America is number 1" assertion. Number 1 in what competition? We're behind in several areas I consider vitally important: economic freedom, freedom of speech, per-capita income, education, and the list goes on...
