I was truly impressed by McCain's speech it was a great way to end. He gained a great deal of respect!

Thank GOD! I never thought I would LIVE to see the day! What a glorious day it is!

Notice how the 66% of the voters were 18-23 i believe that we have a new census on what we the newer generations want and that we are better informed and better prepared to select a president. I love being 21 and i am proud to say that i did follow the elections and made a wise decision on who i would like to be the 44th president of the U.S. i do however hope that certain promises will be kept and that this election hasn't been in vain. I hate having to regret a decision i have made especially when it looms in my mind for 4 years.

IAN HARDY   November 4th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

I feel an icy chill creeping through my heart. We will have to live through the next four years with socialism, gay rights mandates, and infant homicide. God's plan is in here, I just can't see it. There will be judgment for this, wait and see.

No Hillary = No Obama   November 4th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

Big surprise. CNN projected Obama the winner back in February when it hijacked Hillary's nomination,smeared her with sexist and degrading comments, under cut McCain and did everything but crown Obama long before today. I actually feel this whole thing is a fraud.

Ahmed in Rhode Island   November 4th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

So, is the following going to happen next:
1) Withdraw from occupied Iraq/Afganistan. No to Iran war.
2) No to one world government.
3) No to patriot Act, no to torture.
4) No to the cartel called the FED.
5) Yes to education, American jobs, and a better tomorrow.
6) Yes to brotherhood of man.

We can pray together and work hard for brotherhood of man and help our new president in that effort.

Kevin Carney   November 4th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

No matter how you feel about the outcome of this election, it's important to reflect on the process whereby in less than 50 years the people of the USA went from Jim Crow segregation, public and un-punished lynchings, segregated public places, and in some states illegal interacial marraiges, to today where a black man is the President Elect of the USA. There are other societies elsewhere in the world that are still torn by racial and religious differences after hundreds and in some cases a thousand or so years. This is ab outstanding victory for President Elect Barack Obama, but please do not lose sight of the fact that this an incredible victory for democratic process. This is truly an amazing turn of events.

CT   November 4th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

The turn out would have been different if the majority of the people who simply voted for him based on his age and his ethicity would have actually read his policies and observed the people he surrounds himself with.
We demand that our economy be pieced back together so we can all go back to being "happy", yet we don't seem to care that our moral foundation is crumbling to pieces. . .
As much as I'd like to say that good times are ahead, I don't believe it myself.

hmm… well, everything happens for a reason, let's hope this is a good one.
… and lets hope that Biden doesn't get any closer to being president than he already is.

Bill   November 4th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

Well, It was great growing up in a democratic nation, too bad my kids will have to grow up in a socialist country… Democrats own the senate, congress and the Prez. No more checks and balances means this country is as good as communist. Obama will make a great leader with his Marxist ideals.

tyler   November 4th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

To all the people that are dissing Obama, you guys are ridiculous.
None of you would have the courage to do what he is doing and has done.
And i'm pretty sure he will to a better job than the W. because that man really screwed us over.
Obama was the rightful winner, because i dont know what we would do with Palin as our vice.
She is just completely horrible, in all aspects.
I believe that Barack Obama will lead us to a better United States of America.

I voted for McCain, thinking he would have been the best choice for President.

I was wrong

So now I am proud to say that I will back President Obama, and I hope he makes a great president.

MLK dream has been fulfilled, now let's see what he can do with the presidency

Orett L Campbell   November 4th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

A victory for hope, leadership and vision over the politics of fear and division!!! A victory for the issues over negative campaigning, Nazi-like propoganda and the practice of seeking to exploit the worst side of human nature a la Karl Rove!!!

Congratulations, America; You came through where you couldn't quite 4 years ago, and just in time it seems.

VZ   November 4th, 2008 11:25 pm ET

I am saddened at the lack of education on behalf of the people of the US. People have watched too much TV to have their views given to them and/or voted based on race instead of voting based on the candidates position. Obama has been my senator for 6 years and the only thing I got from it was higher taxes. Now, he will be giving the rest of my hard earned money to people who sit around with their hand out- I am disgusted. I am scared for the people of the US -however, the people who voted for John McCain cant be blamed when the US pays a heavy price for this decision-GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Don't celebrate yet there is still a long road to go down. If you were not happy to be an American before tonight you need to look at other people in the world who do not have what we have here. Even with the Republican loss I am still happy to be an American.

angioman   November 4th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

I hope that the election will rally minorities to be the best they can be and help reconcile the racial divide in the USA. The USA can now rejoin the rest of the world as a respected nation. I pray that the USA will wisely use this opportunity for improving world peace.

To all those hypocritical GOPers who did the whole "he's not my president" under Clinton, then under Bush did the "if you don't support him you're unAmerican," who will no go back to the "he's not my president." You, the right wingers, the closed narrow minded hypocrites, you are the true unAmericans.

To the one guy saying he'll move to Spain or others who clearly don't like democracy who said the same thing when Bush won to people disenfranchised. Welcome to democracy, if you can't stand the heat of it, if you can't stand this is how America works, too bad, YOU are unAmerican, why don't you leave the country.

Go Obama, and here's hoping he can fix this once great country after Bush and his cronies did their job of pretty much destroying it. Roll up our sleeves all good Americans, we have a lot of work to do. Don't want to help because you don't support Obama? Please, do us all a favor, move somewhere else, you're not wanted here.

newvoterMO   November 4th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

Both Obama and McCain are qualified candidates and I battled between the two. When the clown VP candidate came out, I have to conclude McCaine made a big mistake. He is too result driven. So I cannot vote for him. VP candidates are the tie breaker.
Whoever wins, this is going to be a difficult mess to deal with. Let's hope it doesn't get worse. God bless America.

I am not willing to give up my civil rights for a "history making moment". I am not willing to give up the fruits of my hard labor and sacrifice for those who want a handout. I do not want a gameshow president. My vote cannot be bought. This is officially a nation of ignorant people. I am mixed race, and I am not a republican. I am a person who came from poverty and built up to prosperity by hard work and hard study. That is the American dream, folks. I do not want to be penalized for it.

Independent in NC   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

Actually, Bush is President, and will be for another 2.5 months. This was a very close election (looking at percentages per state), and I think it will take a long time to repair the divide it created.

obamao8   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

i voted obama, not because of his race, not because of his party, but because this man is educated, something that mc cain is not.

Annymous   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

All I can say is I hope the Rapture happens quickly so that we don't have to deal with all the havack that this world is looking at. This is a very sad time in our lives. I am glad to be a born again Christian! God please protect us!

Nicole   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

I hope people voted for Obama for the right reasons… I have a feeling people were voting for the idea of having an African-American as president and not really taking into consideration what he stands for.

jonny   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

now when I get up to go to work tomorrow,I know that the world is a totally different place. Never in my lifetime would I have thought I would see an black or hispanic president. What a historic moment never to be forgotten. I would like to be the first to suggest a national holiday in honor of this man.

Mark   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

Dear Mr. President;
You did a superb job. Congratulations and the best of luck for our futures Thank you.

AmericanAbroad   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

Looking at the election map of the US, it is clear that we are still a nation divided by color. Perhaps the South should have been allowed to secede from the US during the Civil War. The South sure seems like a foreign country to me.

First you called him a muslim (as if it's a bad thing), then you called him a terrorist, then a radical, socialist, communist, and then whatever else you could possibly think of. Now you must call him Mr. President. Congratulations to this beautiful nation of ours. I have always been proud of it, and no more now than ever, but this moment is the reason I've always been proud of my country.

Carter Allen   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

michelle c   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

i voted for obama and very glad he won. but why is cnn saying his the first black presideht? does he not have a white mother and a black father? why is he not a white president or a mixed president?

Andy Perkins   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

How come people talk racism soo much if some one says something about a person being White ( for instance) if we said George Bush won HE's a white american. RIGHT there starts the whole Racism Talk, If we had a White History month That would be racism, WE ARE ALL THE SAME stop bringing up the fact of COLOR!

catmom   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

John, quit your job and predict doom and gloom. Who cares. Obama has always spoken of personal responsibility and that is what he will do and expect us to do. It will take a lot of hard work to clean up the mess George Bush and Republicans have made of this country, now it's time to come together to do just that.

chris   November 4th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

Go obama. The only thing worse than Bush regime are the McCain voters who are afraid that change will effect them negatively. money does not equate to happiness.

CClark   November 4th, 2008 11:21 pm ET

I guess Obama showed us all " YES WE CAN". Way to go, President Obama!!!!!!!

Angel   November 4th, 2008 11:21 pm ET

to Angela…God has not given us a spirit of fear…the fact that you are fearful tells me that you have not understood the concept of faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God.. some of you conservatives were going to God in prayer with selfish ambitions and fear..God does not hear fear..he listens to faith..the Obama compaign had Faith and God listened

Proud to Be   November 4th, 2008 11:21 pm ET

We have finally come to believe that in this time & in this country it is the character of the person & not the color of their skin. America has finally proven that all men are created equal & that any child NO MATTER their ethnicity can become PRESIDENT!!! Congratulations not only to President Obama & Vice President Biden, but to the American people who were intelligent enough to make the right decisions based on the facts given. IN GOD WE TRUST…

Bob   November 4th, 2008 11:21 pm ET

Look forward to a great 4 years, and if it truly is great, maybe 8.

Haha! Barack Obama won!!! McCain never stood a chance. I feel really bad for him though. So many times he's ran for president and he's never won once. It's like he was never destined to become president. And now he will never become president again because of his age.

Oh well, sucks for him.

Congrats to Obama and him becoming the first African America president of the united states.

mike   November 4th, 2008 11:19 pm ET

This is a proud moment for all americans. In my short 33 years of life we've come so far. I'm a child of mixed race and I can still remember my family getting kicked out of our apartments onced my father came home from work and the landlord finding out that he was non white. It might not be the end of all racism but its a huge step.

Prophecy Fullfilled.   November 4th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

if your still in line b4 the closing time, you will get to vote. 4-6 hours is less than 4-8 years :P

Never doubt the Bible again… It is really happening here and now:

.. “And in the land shall rise the son of Cain.” From the north The Deceiver[Palin], a known Beast of false witness; will take the mark of Cain.
Together they seek to spread fear and invoke hate among the refugees of sin.
In their quest for power they will ignore the light of truth shining on the deeds and words they proclaim.
But take heart, for throughout the land the seekers of light shall rise up and not be fooled. With their strength, the mark [Cain] will be cleansed from the earth and no longer hold power to sway the blind.

Can I get an amen…? :)

american   November 4th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

Edmund   November 4th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

I always felt that, more than any politician, Obama's position on things changed with his audience. I felt that the only way I can pinpoint what he would do is with his very liberal, very brief record. Obama now represents all of us. Let's hope I am wrong.

For the non Barack Obama voters. You will find this gifted man will be a thoughtful, moderate President who will do our countrry proud and re-asert true moral leadership. He will do his best to keep America strong in part by winning more friends around the world by helping us re-capture ideals that served us though the past. Hopefully, this is the dawn of a new day for America and the world.

Amy wrote:
"How can the presidential election be projected two minutes after the polls close on the west coast??"

We do not elect the president with the popular vote, we use the electoral college. There is no way McCain can win without Ohio or Penn., so the race is over. In fact, McCain just called Obama and conceded the race to him.

long live to Obama   November 4th, 2008 11:16 pm ET

poor him … i am really happy but he is probably not going in the history,he's taking control of this country that is having soo many troubles … good luck Obama you will need it …

I was hoping that this story would show up on the ticker because I wanted to rub it in the haters' faces; however, as this historic moment continues to settle in, I realize that this is a time for pride in my country and hope for our future rather than childish nonsense. God bless you senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden, let your stars shine on the country as well as the world; follow this historic moment through with a spectacular administration for generations to look back on for strength and guidance.

Yes we can, yes we did, yes we will!

I would like to go back to an earlier post. How can they call the west coast states before they actually have any votes posted on their site???

Former Republican in Southlake, TX ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   November 4th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

I am a 60 year old white woman who was raised in a fairly racist household. Fortunately I had opportunities that led me all over this United States and I was able to meet people from all races and form my 'own' opinions. With the announcement just a few minutes ago that projects Barack Obama to be the President-elect, I literally cried with happiness. It is time we all come together as one nation and strive for the good for ALL Americans. I am so proud that our country has chosen to ignore 'color' and elect this man as President. Now, please, let us ALL become "Americans" and forget about political parties, race, color, gender, etc…. let us ALL work for a better, stronger, more caring AMERICA. God bless Barack Obama & Joe Biden… God bless America.

democrate   November 4th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

Now she can go back to being a idiot in her own state and McCain can find a clue! God blessed america tonight!

i went to my local polling place and i have actually seen people there i KNOW have been in trouble BIG TIME trouble with the law

i was wondering if ANYONE took the time to check these or ANY ot these " first time voters " out..i have no idea if they are convicted felons or not but i DO know they have been in prison…

is there any way to do a background check on these people who would slip through the cracks and VOTE even when this right had been taken away from them ??
seems very unfair…all they needed to do was sign a form LYING about their past to get registered to vote for the most important office in the USA….

Why do the news organizations insist on fueling the sterotype that there is an African-American. Either you are an American or you are not. Please stop fueling the hatred. If they want to be an African then they should go back to Africa.

What an amazing time to be in. Barack Obama who is the ultimate rags to riches story. Now is the time when change will take place in a BIG way. Not only will Obama lead this great nation, but the Senate is also already Dem. controlled. It looks as if the House may go the same way. I guess the question isn't will things be changing. It is how much will change. In this humble mans opinion I think this will be the beginning of a brand new era in the life of the American people. A better time, A leader who can create a vision for his country and move towards it. What an amazing time!
