torquillI hear that the overwhelming majority of the celebrations last night were not vindictive, not "we've vanquished the enemy", but rather jubilant, hopeful, and relieved. The long night is almost over. Obama swore to the people who didn't vote for him that "I'll be your president too." The crowds were exuberant but peaceful.
I can't even imagine the same sentiments holding for the conservatives if they had won last night. Reaching out to the other side just doesn't seem important to them. Witness the booing when McCain congratulated Obama for his win.
Dawn is coming to America.
As for prop 8, the country is obviously still lost in the dark. The time will come.
