Mark Warner was the first election called by CBS. Congratulations on your new shade of color, Virginia!

McCain's concession was tremendous. It makes me wonder what would have happened if McCain was allowed to run as McCain. I have a feeling the SNL spot and the speech were moments when he said, "ef you guys, I'm going to say what I want to say." Cal Thomas is chief idiot of America. In a world with Billy Cyrus, that's saying a lot.

The GOP is going to have to get their shit together from here on out. Stop the bowing to the religious right and embrace the crunchy cons.

Is it just me or does this feel like a populist win? There are celebrations in the streets. There seems to be a lot of ownership in this win.
Popular, but not populist. Maybe populists for blacks. They represented 22% of the vote, while consisting of 12% of the population. Michael Baisden can claim a huge part of this election.
