Barack Obama wins.
Phew. To be honest, my greatest emotion is that of relief. Relief that Americans demonstrated some academic rigor by stepping through all the muddy waters, looking at what Bush's policies have done to our country in the last eight years, and seeing that, on policy, McCain and Bush are nearly identical.
So many things could have happened to abruptly swing this election into McCain's favor, not the least of which was latent racial fears, but Americans restored a man of intellectual vigor back into the White House.
Armed with greater majorities in the House and Senate, I think we can all expect the American ship to be righted.

I, too, was disappointed about Prop 8. I sad reality of voting demographics. Hopefully that will be overturned in a few short years as more young, progressive voters participate in elections.
