Barack Obama Elected President

Posted on November 4, 2008 by billmanzi

Senator Barack Obama, making history and re-writing the electoral map, defeated John McCain to become the 44th President of the United States. Senator McCain has just offered a gracious concession, and Obama is poised to speak in front of a huge crowd in Chicago. History has been made. I will post the Obama and McCain remarks shortly.

    Oh my aching head!! As I revisit the mayor’s electoral map predictions of 10/27/08, I’m amazed at how almost on the mark you were with your predictions. Do I sense the rise of another Karl Mar.., er, Rove, protege?!

    I was going to do a separate post on that, bragging about how I came oh so close to going fifty for fifty. If North Carolina holds for Obama and Missouri for McCain then I believe I am 49 out of 50, with Indiana having thrown me off by a minute percentage.

    Well I was not voting for Obama, but I do congratulate him in his historic win. I hope in the weeks ahead he and Vice President Elect Biden hosts a Unity Summit with Senator McCain / Gov Pallin and bring a healing and touching the issues that brought so much pain emotion and excitement in this election.

    Gerard,

    Do you honestly think Pelosi and Reid will heal with the Republicans?

    They will punish them.
