CNN

everybody is saying "ohhh what a great day!!" you folks have no idea whats in store for us. Better learn ARABIC!!!

hey Abraham, why dont you come down here to these "red-neck" states and see what we have for you!!

I saw the electoral map and all the red-neck/farming-states voted republican.

Thank God for American youth who voted this time the red-necks were denied of being king makers.

American Youth , American Industralized States & American Trades people , thumbs up to you. Thanks to you America has turned a new page. Proud of you

I congratulate all my dear Americans on this historic day. A whole nation stood up and showed the world what America is really about. Today, you should all be proud of being Americans.

CONGRATS MR PRESIDENT!!! CONGRATS AMERICA!!!!! DREAMS CAN INDEED COME TRUE.

GOD BLESS YOU.

Why can't our new president rest and relax just for one day!!!
Congrats to the Obama and Biden family. The country needs change!!

I am so proud of my state tonight! (and NC too!) YES WE DID!!!!!

Say it with me now, L-A-N-D-S-L-I-D-E!!!!!!!!!

To all you obama haters, it's.....PRESIDENT OBAMA.......to you.

Well, congratulations! I wish you guys were smart enough to notice that it was the inaction of the Democrat controlled congress that's put us in this financial situation. So, yeah, good idea voting even MORE Dems into office. Im so mad that 51% of Americans are so stupid. Pat yourselves on the back and continue swallowing the crap the Dems feed you.

How blessed we all are to have witnessed this moment in American History. The road will not be easy, but I have all the confidence in the world that the right man was hired for the job. Despite all the long lines at the polls, America spoke in a very loud and powerful voice tonight, and the whole world watched in awe. This great Democracy woke up and strutted its stuff. Barack and Joe, congrats, and godspeed.

After reading all the posts on the ticker, I am so appalled by the ungraciousness of those who still spew hate and lies. They can only be bitter, uneducated people. Thank God, however, for those republicans that have come around even though their candidate did not win and now say they will support our new President elect. For those who are still spewing the hate, lies and division the republican campaign touted, I can only say....only in America can you voice your dissatisfaction and not be punished in some way. I love my country, and am pround to support our new President elect.

No Hillary = No Obama

The election is over. Seantor Obama has won the highest office of this nation.... President of the United States of America. Senator McCain gain a very gracious speech and ask this country to unite behind President Obama. So lets try to do that. Our country is in the worse situtation ever. We need Democrats and Republicans working together to regain outr stature in the world and to fix out ailing ecomony. But I do have to disagree with you about Governor Palin She brought a lot of the media bashing on her self by accepting a nomination that she clearly knew she wasn't qualifed for and all that winking. She never presented herself when she finally gave interviews that she knew what she was talking about. She just wasn't the one to be 2nd in command.

OBAMA '08

Today, hope defeated fear. Today, intelligence defeated stupidity. Today, education defeated ignorance. Today unity defeated hatred. TODAY, AMERICA WAS RE-BORN. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE. CONGRATULATIONS, PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA.

Tonight our country made history, now let's put our differences aside and work together to fix this mess. And NH=NO, you are the type of person who cost McCain the election. America is known for it's spirit to persevere, and never give up. To welcome all people with an open mind, without prejudice or hate. Your comments represent a way of thinking which has been left behind.

"Voted McCain" has the right idea...good comment...working together we can achieve anything. United we stand, divided we fall.

THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA HAS ENDED !!!!!! FAREWELL TO THE 8-YEAR NATIONAL NIGHTMARE CALLED THE BUSH PRESIDENCY.

WELCOME TO THE BRILLIANT, INTELLIGENT, REFLECTIVE, AND ARTICULATE PRESIDENT OBAMA.

WELCOME TO INCLUSIVE AND UNIFYING POLICIES.

MY PROFOUND THANKS TO ALL OF THE SMART VOTERS OUT THERE. OUR NATION WILL SEE GREATNESS ONCE AGAIN.

This is a new day for America. As a Canadian, I have always been frustrated at how the southern states seemed to be stuck in some sort of twilight zone of bigotry and intolerance. Virginia has given me real hope that in the 21st Century; that reality has finally begun to crumble. WELL DONE!!!!!

THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA HAS ENDED !!!!!!

The landscape of this whole country has changed. I do understand yes that Virginia changed from red 2 blue since 1964, but we as a country have taken a huge step in moving forward beyond color. Some people have get over the fact that their party lost and we ALL now have 2 work together 2 get OUR country back on track. Hopefully president-elect obama will do what he has promised (within his powers) 2 get us going in the right direction. And as he said in his speech we may not get there in one term but we can do it if we ALL work together. Congrats obama and biden. You had my vote

The last time I was this happy was when Ronald Reagan won in 1980. Both Obama and McCain were Reagan admirers. Job well done, Obama. I've been with you ever since you announced your run for the presidency, and now it's come to fruition. A great day indeed for American politics!

THANK YOU AMERICANS FOR VOTING DECISIVELY FOR BARACK OBAMA.
WE LOVE YOU
KISH FROM GREAT BRITAIN

As a 62 year old black man I thought I would never see this day come. White America has finally stepped up to the plate and hit a home run that will be heard throughout the world. Will this election of the first black american began to bring this country together? I think that it will. This young black man is a very special person and has the ability to bring not only americans together but, to unite the world in one common cause. That one common cause being to save mankind from self destruction. So tonite I salute America for having the vision to see that this country needed to stop the bleeding and began to heal. May God bless this new president and guide him to make the right decisions and put American back to being the leader of the free world.

So proud tonight as a Virginian to be celebrating in a blue state and to acknowledge our 44th president, Barack Obama! We did it!

So excited to be an American in VA, and one that made a difference tonight. So glad that I had a hand in making this great man the President of the USA. I am so excited about the possibilities and the true growth that Americans have gained in this historic event.

Tonight the country spoke loud and clear and they want change Now it is time to come together and work to get this country's problems fixed.

Like President elect Obama said we are not red states or blue states – we are the United States of America.

"I'm not a Virginian, but an American" - Patrick Henry
And so we are!

Sometimes defeat hurts but American people have not recognized sacrifices that John McCain has made for this country. He is a real hero and maverick but instead American p[people elected today a person who is inexperienced who is linked with radical elements. We are going at least 5-10 years backward now as American people are not smart enough to judge who is good and who is bad for our country. It is a sad day for America.

i had no idea that this would happen in my lifetime....maybe my childrens'
but not mine.

tonight we showed the world that we wanted change.

AWESOME!

Bush's legacy? Hmmmm... I do believe the last 4 years also had a Democrat Congress that had as much decision in what went on in this country as Bush did. In fact, Congress has had a big say on if we are at War or not with Iraz. Funny how people forget how our government system works in this country. So, I guess we'll see how things will go with a majority Democrat Congress and Democrat President and what the next election will bring in another 4 years.

Welcome, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from 2009 – 2016

'NH=NO', the time is past for dividing ourselves whether it be over Hillary or McCain. Now is the time to come together as Americans, to heal our wounds, and to start repairing the damage that Bush has done (is still doing for that matter).

Hillary is an exemplary public servant and well-qualified to be President. Had she won the nomination, I would have supported her... but she lost. It's as simple as that and it's time to move on. (Palin shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath with her. They share nothing in common except being female.)

'Voted McCain', thank you for your message. It has been a difficult campaign and tempers have been on-edge for a long time now. But your wisdom is something we all need to share now. Yesterday, we were opponents. Today, we are all just Americans who share a common future. Let's all work together to make it a good one.

For the 1st time in 500 years has person of color will run a world power. This is a great day for humanity and America. We can believe that all Americans have value.

Obama 08

No Hillary = No Obama,

Mentioning Sarah Palin in the same breath as Hillary Clinton is much more degrading than anything you could possibly conjure with 100% of your brain. Please, get a grip, stand together, and help us turn this country around with a great leader at the helm!!

Yes We Did! In now BLUE Virginia!!

Welcome to the United Socialist States of America! Maybe Obama can start his little 'redistribution of wealth' campaign by taking all of Oprah's money and spreading it around to the rest of us... of course, that would mean that she wouldnt be able to buy the election for him in 2012. Of course, by then, I'm sure that Americans will realize that they have made a huge mistake electing this president. Even though Bush 43 was a huge disaster, his blunders will seem like nothing compared to the damage that Obama will do to this country.

I don't follow politics closely. I can hardly remember everyone's name. I don't look at skin, I can't remember who belongs to which party, and I couldn't care less about religion. So forget the skin colors and the political parties and the religions for two seconds here (I know it's hard, but bare with me) and think about it. Today America voted for an inspiring man and a good president. Not because he's the first African American president, not because he's a Democrat, not because he does or doesn't go to church on Sundays, but because, when you just look at the man, he's a good choice.

Think about it. Embrace it. Good job, America, we're on our way.

I am stunned, exited, and proud. Defiantly positive. We have been grossly mislead and misinformed by the marketing hype of a wallstreet vultures [and parasites].

By a simple but clear majority, tens of millions, have torn at these malevolent and fatalistic urban myths.

Congratulations to President-Elect Obama and all Americans !!!

Yes we are celebrating and Obama / Biden made it as we knew all along.

All free nations will congratulate and welcome Barack Obama to the world scene tomorrow.

They were even celebrating in australia, great to see that.

Mc Cain gave a honarable speech inspite running the most dirty campaign in history, but that is over now, finally.

Sarah Palin can go home now, but she never will have what it takes
to become a president.

Real changes will come to america and i'm confident america did the right choice.

Congratulation Barack Obama.

Change hasn't just come to America – It's come to the world and the people of the world rejoice!

Northern VA and Charlottesville broke the records for voter turn out this year. The demographics has shifted in the state, especially in Northern Virginia. If you are unhappy with 13 electoral votes going to Obama, move down south! This is no longer a red state – all thanks to the campaign for change! Good bye dubbya, DC never wanted you here in the first place!

Sorry ...you had one vote so who did you vote for?

now it will be time to see the real Obama that you biased media help elect

I have never been so proud to be an American as I am tonight. Whether you supported Obama or not, you cannot deny that it is an historic event that Americans were ready to elect a black person president if they agreed with his positions–in the past this would not have been so.

You had one vote...ao who sis you vote for?

Go Bama and Biden

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A GOOD LAUGH HERE IT IS: LIEBERMAN IS IN DEEP DO DO WITH THE DEMOCRATS NOT BECAUSE OF HIS CHOICE AS AN INDEPENDANT WHO HOLDS A SEAT WITH THE DEMOCRATS AND SUPPORTED JOHN MCCAIN BUT DUE TO HIS OUT SPOKEN NEGATIVE SPEECH ABOUT OBAMA WHILE CAMPAIGNING FOR MCCAIN. HARRY REID HAS SUMMONED LIEBERMAN TO MEET WITH HIM TO GIVE HIM HIS PLIGHT AND WHATEVER THEY CHOSE TO DO WITH LIEBERMAN HE BOUGHT IT ON HIMSELF. LIEBERMAN WILL PROBABLY BE THE BEGINNING OF WHAT IS CALLED "HOUSE CLEANING".

i talk lot about this at my article at maximumlight.blogspot.com, but i am so proud to be a Virginian tonight. I know many conservative Republicans throughout the state who voted for Obama because McCain never denounced the dreadful comments of Northern Virginia not being "real" made by his brother and members of his campaign. When I talked to my beloved Republican family members, I would say "Well, I know you support McCain, but you know he doesn't consider you to be a real Virginian, right?" Those who hadn't heard that were shocked, and I will gladly take credit for helping transition many wonderful Republicans into Independents who vote Democrat!

Did anyone hear Gov. Palin congratulate Pres-elect Obama yet?
Did she offer her best wishes to his family following the death of his grandmother?
Does she have anything nice to say to her opponents at all?
I'm sure she is just homesick and looking forward to getting back to looking at Russia from atop the bridge to Nowhere (wink wink)

WOW....Some of you have been led astray! Obama....Well you voted America...BAD CHOICE! Bush will go down in history as a much better President then Barack Hussein Obama! Ya maybe he made a lot of mistakes, but fought terrorist! Obama will site down with them and have a chat and maybe a cup of tea! Maybe he will invite them to the white house or just pretend that we can all get along... YES WE CAN....lol

This is a victory of the wold.President of United States of America Barack Obama,is the change for better,the consolidation of democracy, he is a exemple to be follow.Congratulations!!!

I AM SO GLAD THAT OBAMA WON AND THIS COUNTRY HAS A CHANCE TO TURN AROUND. I AM NOT SAD McCAIN LOST OR THAT SARAH DID NOT GET CLOSE TO THE WHITE HOUSE. SARAH NEEDS TO GO HOME TO ALASKA AND FACE ALL THE INQUIRIES THAT SHE IS INVOLVED IN CONDUCTING. THEY WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF HER AND HER HUSBANDS SHENANIGANS.

NH = NO and all you other haters out there,

Get a life and go home. Obama won and deal with it. I am proud to be an American and proud to have Obama as my president.

HATERS, GO TO HELL!!!!!

BE STILL MY HEART!

Michelle,
I recommend pastel lavender drapes with a fine muted floral pattern, 62" x 108" for the Lincoln Bedroom...

Now that the ship has come into port, and the lines are cleated, we can begin our journey to make a thousand dreams, positive healthy dreams of vision, a reality. Welcome all, as we are all in this together. I will gaze at the moon for a moment and toast our beautiful family. If you gaze at the moon too, our spirits can meet there to smile at the road ahead.

LOVE to all, and to all a GOOD night.

Pleasant Dreams & All Good Things,
Greg

-joyous happy tears-

I cannot believe that there is anyone out there that would actually compare Hillary to Sarah!!! Get a grip on reality! Hillary knows a great deal about many things and is an intelligent human, Sarah knows a great deal about shooting things and not much intelligent shows (except for the thousands she talked the RNC into spending on her clothes)!!!!

YAY OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!!! WE WIN WE WIN!!!!!!

Yadda-dabba-doo

Go Bama and Biden

Red to Blue baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a historic night. Thank you, State of Virginia for siding with change as opposed to more of the same. Oh, and for Sarah Palin, don't let the door slam your Prada suit on the way back to Alaska. Go take care of your teen daughter who is only a couple of months away from giving birth. She needs you infinately more than the people of America do.

The only good PUMA is a dead PUMA

CNN this needs no moderation

Congrats, to eveyone who voted to Obama . And Peace & Love to everyone else. Change IS needed. Already the world's markets are responding positvely.

America as helped me.God Bless EVERYONE......

TO Voted McCain.... Thank you. Your respectful words are well accepted and I feel I speak for all Obama supporters. We welcome your support to work together as citizens of this great nation, to rebuild the nation as a beacon of light for the rest of the world.

As an Obama Supporter I extend well wishes to Senator McCain for a hard fought contest and the gracious words he spoke upon defeat.

May the country begin healing and coming together as one.

Thank you Virginia, you made a great choice! Obama will be a great leader. He is a man of integrity, a man of God, a man of values and true American ideals. We will reep many benefits because of the decision we al made tonight.

Today with the exception of my son being born is the greatest day of mylife.

i was hoping this would turn, just made it even better when projections came in.

These times are a-changing...though if the Republican Party returns to its conservative base, I would suspect that both 2009 and 2010 will be successful years for the GOP in the Old Dominion.

@No hillary=No obama..

It;s over now...you have a new president...what you are dwelling in is the past....look towards the future and let go of your negativity!!! You never know, Obama might be the best thing that happenned to our country....Don't knock it if you haven't given it a chance...

I AM WRITING CNN ABOUT THE MODERATOR BEING VERY PREJUDICED AND BIAS LIKE CAMPBELL BROWN!

POST THAT.

Sarah Palin degraded herself. Get real.

THIS WAS IMMINENT, OBAMA DIT IT

I was more stressed out in watching the Virginia returns than I was watching the national returns. What a great day to be a Virginian! It makes me proud, I love this state.

Agree that McCain's speech was gracious. After so much attacks, at least he showed some sense. Good retirement, McCain.

Thats enough No Hillary = No Obama, the elections are over America has clearly spoken to whom they want to lead our nation. Whether your a McCain/Palin supporter or an Obama/Biden supporter its time to unite and fix the damages that is done to our country. Its time to stand UNITED and its definitely time for a CHANGE.

No Hillary=No Obama

Go get some rest. Enough with the hatred.

The time is now, and McCain has said it is so.

I voted for McCain. Not because I'm racist, not because I'm conservative, only because I believed he was right.

America spoke tonight, they did not side with me. They chose a black man, with a funny name. They chose a man they felt was intelligent, that spoke to them and inspired them.

If he inspired enough to out vote me, then I say:

I serve you President Obama...because we ARE the US of A!

landslide victory,i love it lol

I cried like a fool, my hubby must've thought i was deranged a lil....but this comes once in a lifetime!
Still keping the Kleenex close

HILLARY GET OVER IT. BEING A FEMALE DOES NOT MAKE YOU SUPERIOR..I MEAN WHITE WOMAN.

I THOUGHT JOHN MCCAIN WAS THE NICE AND GRACIOUS PERSON HE IS KNOWN TO BE.

I HOPE PRESIDENT OBAMA AND SENATOR MCCAIN WILL WORK TOGETHER...THEY ARE BOTH GOOD PEOPLE WHO HAPPEN TO BE 'MEN'.

Hopefully this will turn the economy around and my little website in the process http://www.1800marryme.com

Sorry that you feel that way NH=NO, however, this train is leaving with or without you. We didn't need the Hillary voters like you and we did this and made this happen regardless of your bitterness and people like you.

The fact that you would even put Hillary Clinton in the same sentence as Sarah Palin shows what's wrong with you already. Hillary Clinton was a phenomenal candidate, but she lost....get over it. Sarah Palin was a hack who never had any business here in the first place. She knew absolutely nothing about Government or anything else. You can be mad all you want, but tonight, the majority of us are celebrating and we have have enough joy to go around even for you. We said we were going to do it, and we did!

YES WE DID!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

OBAMA'12 =D!!!

Hillary's reputation preceded her & Sarah Palin never earned any respect to start with. When you're on the ticket, you have to EARN your place & prove your abilities. She made her first mistake when she winked during her first speech and continued to make mistakes the rest of the way through.
As for the naysayers who think the country is heading for trouble, why not give change a chance? Only in Politics/Washington has change been held at bay. The rest of the Country has had to deal with it on a regular basis.

Trickle up poverty here we come.

Yes we can to Yes we did. Let nobody on Earth say that America cannot not correct itself nor deny that Obama is the 44th President.

Republicans gear up. We were out campaigned this election. 2 years and 4 years from now when we are still in an economic crisis because of increased taxation and wealth spreading the tide will turn, the momentum will swing. There is no unity in taking one man's hard earned money and giving it to another. There is no unity in increasing company taxes so that they have to lay off workers.

Everybody forgets it has been as Democratic House and Senate for the past 2 years that have done nothing. They are just as responsible as the President.

Now with Democratic majority furthered in Congress and and Liberal president we will continue to struggle through these economic times. Start gearing up for 2010 and 2012.

This is a Great day for the United States of America!!!!!!! YAH!!!!!!!!!

Shut up Roland, if this had been the "white guy" that won you would have left the stage before 9pm. And no one cares about his speech or what Martin Luther said or thought. You people "blacks" continue to try to find the easy way out of everything and recieve as many hand outs as possible always hiding behind race, so you think this is your meal ticket for the next four years.

And as far as him wanting to be my President – forget it. I don't need or want you to represent me. But, it will be fun to watch this train wrech come down the tracks.

Yahoooooooooooo!!! VIRGINIA had finally become Democratic state!!! OBAMA WON!! OUR NEW PRESIDENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE!! BYE BYE BUSH!! BYE BYE MCCAIN!!

GOD BLESS US EVERYONE !!!

History has been made.

WE LOVE YOU OBAMA !!!

YOU ROCK !!!

Yet again CNN calls the election Before all results are in and Electoral college does not even meet till Dec 16th, If McCain wins the Popular Vote I for see a few Law Suits against CNN

Even though I did not vote McCain, Well done-your speech was excellent!!-Enjoy your retirement years-they go by so fast!!

This is George Bush's legacy and his karmic debt which he owed to all those killed in a war of indulgence. George Bush has created Obama the Transformer. And now this country needs to change it's sexist ways. THe mistreatment and degradation of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin should make this country, CNN and the rest of the media ashamed of itself. How can you celebrate and hail the victory of one person while so denigrating another? This too will have a karmic price tag.
