And now Obama's real work begins. Indiana is still too close to call. (I didn't think I would ever say this, but thank goodness for Bob Barr!) But it doesn't matter. Breathe a sigh of relief, and now roll up our sleeves and start fixing this global mess we're in.

Right, so I now live (most of the time) in Indiana. We're up next, along with North Carolina, in the presidential primary spotlight. I've been getting multiple mailings every day, we've got ads on TV, the cities are being visited by major players; while I'm new to Indiana and am coming from the…
I don't think Democrats should let the Palin fiasco overshadow a great convention: there were some great speeches, one of them by John Kerry. While Kerry did an awful job of responding to the swiftboating, that episode really does mask some of his strengths: he's a terrific debater, and a very…

I don't watch Private Practice. I didn't like Grey's Anatomy, which, every time I caught part of it, struck me as the cheesiest sort of medical soap opera, a General Hospital transplanted to prime time. Given that Private Practice is a spinoff of Grey's Anatomy, I never saw any reason whatsoever to…
Yep. Just because the election is over doesn't mean our work as American citizens is done. We need to keep the momentum going.
I really hope his family stays safe. I am so leery of the assassination attempts. The anxiety won't be over till Jan 20th for me.
Funny. That's exactly what we were doing... mac and NYT and everything!
It was amazing, I second that plea to keep him safe. We are all ignoring (maybe purposefully) that he had gave his acceptance speech behind bullet proof glass.
Great post, and an even better picture... Indiana is BLUE! Wow. I join you in wishing the Obama family safe and the country to continue their citizenry. It's going to be a long hall and we've only just begun to really work towards change.
I also echo that hope they stay safe. This is a great day for all Americans and makes me proud to be an American.
