I was anxious at first . . .

AND THEN - - - OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!

When they called the race at 11:00 pm, as soon as California and the other west coast states were called, I sobbed and sobbed. That's just me - I cry with happiness lots of times. But this was one of the best moments ever. Thanks, Fair, for keeping up the blog while T. and I were on the road. Nothing like candidate travel, but still - nearly 1,200 miles driving, over three days. It was a "good" funeral - I teared up at the gravesite ceremony, with the "21 gun salute" due to my uncle being a Korean War vet. I saw relatives, some for the first time in maybe 40 years. And we saw plenty of campaign signs - maybe a little more for Obama-Biden. The U.P. has tradionally been Democrat, of course . . .

Wow - Wow - Wow - and here in Michigan - Schauer defeated Wahlberg in the Battle Creek area Congressional seat - that was a good one, locally. So what was with Fairfax County, VA - seemed like that area was slow getting results in - otherwise Virginia would have gone to Obama earlier in the night, instead of coming in after the west coast states and the call.

So, what now, Fair - shall we edit the "purpose" of Faxham to continue beyond yesterday's historic results?

p.s. McCain was gracious in defeat, I thought.
