Well, it's over folks and our knuckles are bloody. As a life-long Democrat, I'm happy that in my lifetime, I will have lived in the United States of America under a two-term African American president, the first in the country's history. This means a lot to me as an born and bred American with a Kenyan father. When all the counting is done, I don't know if Obama will take the state I call home, but it's clear that we Virginia Democrats gave it our all and we really tried. Maybe the sheer force of our will pushed Obama over the top. Plus, voting in a Democrat, Tim Kaine, to replace retiring Jim Webb (D) ain't too shabby:)
Onward and upward, as they say. More progress for four more years.
UPDATE: OMG! The Tidewater just started reporting. We're breaking for Obama. OMG!
