President-Elect Barack Obama's Victory Speech

Grant's Park in Chicago about 23.30 EST(-5GMT):



I am near tears still this next day, overwhelmed by the joy of a renewed hope for this world I thought had disappeared from the world in the few years of my boyhood from 1963-1968 in which I saw Jack Kennedy gunned down in Dallas, Dr. King killed in Memphis, and Bobby Kennedy killed in LosAngeles. yes we can :)

A Most Courageous Act By The Republican Mayor of San Diego, CA

The following video is amazingly poignant. In it the Republican Mayor of San Diego, CA decides to support a city council resolution supporting an amicus brief in favor of gay marriage in California. Please take the time to view this. There are truly some great Republicans left and this calms me, even on the verge of this historic Democratic election in which I strongly hope and believe Barack Obama will be chosen as the 44th President of the US.

Election Night 2008 (US) With Dan Rather On HDNET

My personal plans for next Tuesday night are to watch the election night return on HDNET. Dan Rather Reports hosts the coverage with my personal favorite "number's person" Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com. I'm probably showing my age but I trust Dan Rather SO much more than ANY major network news or even second tier cable network. CBS made a HUGE mistake imo when they dumped Mr. Rather for Katie Couric. Take a glace at the video preview below to get a sense of why I'll be viewing HDNET in this crucial time when the US selection of our 44th president is counted and made known to a very anxious nation and world.

North Carolina PLEASE Elect Kay Hagan

Kay Hagan has been and in the role of junior US Senator from North Carolina she will continue to truly serve the state's PEOPLE, not the REPUBLICAN party machine. Senator Elizabeth Dole doesn't even have her primary residence in NC, she lives in the Watergate Hotel in the DC area. She is neither a native of or truly seems to be very interested in the state of NC except now as she has begun to desperately revive a re-election she until very recently believed she could coast to. Now her desperation has gone truly over the top. Please watch the following advert for Ms. Hagan and vote for her on or before next Tuesday.
