I was going to predict a Norm Coleman victory in MN this morning. But with the Obama turnout, I'm not so sure. I guess we'll have to wait and see what Chuck Todd tells us.

Although I am just about as left wing as they come, I still have the opinion it might be a good thing that the dems do not have a super-majority in either house. About the only thing worse than what we had for the last eight years might be one-party rule, no matter the idealogy of that party.

I have hope, but it's not "still"... Frankly? I have to admit that my hope just started at 11:01 pm Eastern Standard Time- when I heard the announcement on the presidential race.

Absolute Power corrupts absolutly! Without some power in an apposing party you will get bad government. It is good they will not reach 60, so they have to at least listen to other views.

Still have a check and balance in place without a Dem super-majority - even better - now hopefully everyone will work together and not against each other!

At least Republicans still have a fighting chance to have their voices heard by keeping the Democrats from attaining 60.

welcome to the U S S A, the United Soclialist States of Ammerica, we are in trouble. I still respect the office, just not the man. But overall, nothing is going to change, we still have a do nothing congress, and that wont change. And nothing in this world is free, someone always has to pay the piper.

I just want to say thank you America for electing Barack Obama. I am a black American, but we all know that this would not have been possible without White Americans. I do not think you will be disappointed. Barack is one inteligent and awesome person. I really believe we will not be disappointed. He will surround himself with advisors that will give him good advise. I believe in this man. And one final thought; I mention above that I am a Black American. So I also want to say that no more excuses "Bros" God Bless Barack Obama and God Bless the United States of America.

I am so proud of my country for electing President Obama. It's a shame the naysayers have such a narrow view of these elections. The entire world has been watching this election, and have been waiting to see if America will turn a corner from the damage caused by the Bush years. It is a new era for America and for the world. One of hope and promise for a better planet. For those who disapprove, step aside, I have no time for your immature fears.

You know, the people who are busy talking about socialism should take a long, hard look at McCain's actions earlier this evening. He admitted defeat, and he did so gracefully. He did not use the opportunity to lash out at Obama or to continue his campaign rhetoric.

I think you could learn something from him tonight.

I cant wait for to go to work for the new Commander in Chief, and for the country to be put back on the right track again. I love that the angry, bitter republicans are still talking about socialism. You really cannot be that ignorant to fall for a failed political stradegy that tried and did not succeed to paint reducing taxes on the middle class as an act of socialism. Lol, read a book and stop watching FIXED news. Semper Fi!

Devout Atheist, Mountville, PA — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 17:28:35 GMT

To all the bitter republicans on these boards, I say deal with it. Those of us on the other side of the fence sat through 8 years of George Bush and his Cronny Carivan, so now it's on you to make the same choice we all made; stick it out with a president you don't like or admit that party is more important to you than country and leave. After 8 years of counter-intellectualism and "thinking from the gut", it will be like a breath of fresh air to have an actual intellectual and "head-thinker" in charge. And, Obama is not a socialist, he's not even THAT liberal. The basis of this false accusation is that he is going to raise the taxes on our richest percentile to pay for the basic amenities that all citizens of the wealthiest nation on earth should be entitled to (health care, education, etc), things that nearly every other industrialized Western Nation offers. Now, if you think trying to get America up to the levels of Canada, France, or Denmark is some horrid Socialist agenda, then odds are intelligent discourse is not going to happen between. But beyond that, if you're not happy with with President Obama, then shut-up, deal, or get out.

Udall is the new Democrat Senator from NEW MEXICO (not Colorado!)
----------------------
To clear that up...there are 2 Senator Udall's, Mark Udall in Colorado and Tom Udall in New Mexico who are cousins. They are also related to Oregon Senator Gordon Smith, and Arizona Congressman Morris Udall.

Congratulations to Obama and America on our new President elect. :)

Are you socialist happy with the "change" you got in 2006. They are really reaching accross the isle arnt they. With the "change" we got in 2006, how much more "change" can we tolerate. By the summer of 2009 we will be deep into a depression, bombs going off in are streets, everybody out of work, cost of goods sky high, electric bills out the roof. But hay, we got "change" we can belive in. "Yes we can" destroy america. The chickens have came home to roost. I guess we all can quit are jobs now because we will not have to work to pay for medical, housing or anything. The great obama will just send us a check. Welcome to Amerika. The good old USSA.

Just a thought..."they"(media and politicians) have said for centuries that it takes about 7 years to see the impact of a president, event or new laws on society. So wouldn't that mean that the majority of the stuff we are dealing with now is because of Clinton!?!! And 9/11.??? Chew on that DEMS.

I'm just amazed at the direction this country is seemingly taking to Socialism and spreading the wealth. What a bunch of selfish lazy Americans we have these days and although the Occupation of Iraq (Not a War and stupid to call it that) is a looked at as bad I'm amazed at how selfish people are to deny them the same freedoms we have enjoyed for over 200 years.

We're helping people and the price of freedom is a tough one but it's ok to denounce it I guess and deny it to them as long as you can sit on your fat lazy butt and expect the big government to do everything for you.

lazy americans all of you. go live in Europe if that is the kind of ideals you have to be taken care of like a baby.

I watched President elect Obama's speach on Tuesday night, and I would ask all of you to re-watch it. he stated that we all have to work together. Enough of the republican this and the democrat that. LISTEN to what the man said...I didn't vote for him, but like many Americans today I DARE TO DREAM. Quit bashing eachother, work together and lets ALL get this country that we love so much moving into the future.
