I'm pretty much entirely exhausted, but so insanely pleased.
The end of American theocracy! A victory speech that mentioned God only in the obligatory "God bless America" at the end! A born president and a vice president who isn't afraid to get his teeth stuck into his opponents*! Liberals (ish) in charge of every apparatus of government and hence the promise of alternative energy, stem cell research and the preservation of abortion rights!
Obviously not a totally amazing night - Proposition 8 looks like it'll pass and at least three anti-gay marriage proposals also passed - but fucking hell what a monumental victory (and relief) and what an historic moment. I admit I got a little teary-eyed when I saw Jesse Jackson openly weeping in Chicago.
Obama: Fuck YEAH!
*seriously, I fucking love Biden; watch some clips of him on the campaign trail or in the primary debates and see him tear McCain/Palin a new, collective hole.
