  • Months of worry and fretting over. The only result that was acceptable, the only one that was sane.

    As delighted as I am that there's someone I really believe in sitting in the presidential chair now (well from January), my happiness is tempered by the fact that the ridiculous Proposition 8 has been passed in California. A real blow for civial liberties and equality.

  • A truly historic night! McCain was pretty gracious in his speech but the man fought a truly horrible campaign and in doing so, sold his soul and any respect I had for him.

    Obama is truly worthy of the job.

  • It's truly amazing, I never thought it would have happened. Even up until last night I was sceptical..

    ..it's not going to suddenly change America and the world, but it is a start.
