Tonight, history has been made.

Barack Obama is confirmed to have won the 2008 presidential election.

The first black U.S. president in history. And it wasn't even close: an 3,000,000+ margin in the popular vote, and a landslide electoral vote.

An end to the Bush era (as of January 20, at least).

Accompanied by majorities in both the Senate and the House.

I would include some ecstatic or humorous editorial here, but...

Why risk spoiling the moment? Now go out and give the first person you meet a great, big hug.

...ACK! Nearly posted a typo of "bug hug." Doesn't quite have the same effect....
