This is actually a thread I started after the 2006 mid-term elections, I still carry the sentiments that we should celebrate our democracy and respect the wishes of the people.
This is a historic day, our country has elected the first non-white male to the office of POTUS, a watershed moment for all Americans, regardless of political party. I sincerely wish President Obama well and hope he can deliver 10% of what he`s talked about....
I`ve been consistently impressed with how Obama has stayed above the partisan fray, and while there is much I disagree with, I really respect that. He has tremendous good will with the American people, there are few things more powerful than that in the world, I hope he uses it well.

Congratulations to Democrats
and their supporters. While polls are interesting, elections matter and when you win you win and when you lose you lose and results count. You can’t win them all and Republican’s have lost this election and Democrats have won, and to the victor go the spoils, or at least the bragging rights.
Before the inevitable name calling, excuses and conspiracies begin I’d like to celebrate the power of our democracy and bi-annual reminder than our government is accountable to the people.
Democrats have either the opportunity to lead and distinguish themselves or remind many of us why we dislike them so much.
The half glass full for we red state guys is that Wall street seems to like the prospect of gridlock and it’s spending limiting functions.
