1. Oh thank God. It's over.
2. Best moment of the evening: Howard University. Middle-aged administrator, too choked with emotion to speak. Young schmuck in horn-rims talking about the importance of Obama's win to his future career as an African-American politician. Remaining thousand or so students in the shot jumping up and down like pogo sticks screaming "O-Ba-Ma! O-Ba-Ma!" over and over.
3. Oh, God, it should have been Hillary, why did it have to go to a man? A YOUNG man?
4. My freshmen are called on for special intentions for prayer today: "That Mr. Obama and his whole family be safe," says one girl.
5. What am I going to do now that it's over? What will I do with all my free time that I've been spending on the computer checking polls?
6. I am disgusted with some of the LGFers. Most of them are fine, but a couple have expressed an intention to cut their charitable spending because they expect their taxes to go up. Feh.
7. McCain's speech was well-done and graceful.
8. Thank God, we can all take a break from Sarah Palin. She may be back. I'll deal with that when it happens.
9. I was expecting more of a drawn-out evening. What's up with announcing by eight?
10. Wow--the elderly Jews of Florida came through! Thank God 1oo grandchildren made the schlep!
11. I have a vision of next spring, when Michelle Obama's chief of staff comes in with a worried look.
"Ma'am, you remember Malia was saying that she couldn't sleep, and a scary man in her dreams was telling her to invade Iran?
"Of course."
"I think we may have found the problem."
"Really?" (Michelle follows the young woman to an area in the Residence. Workers are removing drywall. Michelle leans forward, stares in confusion as a pair of wingtips attempt to scuttle up into the remaining wall.) "What on earth is that?" Michelle demands.
"Dick Cheney, ma'am. He's in the walls. We think he must have mistaken Malia's bedroom from the president's. Don't worry, I have a team coming to fumigate this afternoon..."
12. Oh, thank God. It's over.

Why should it have been Hillary? She lost, "fair & square". She and her cronies took for granted that she would be the nominee, and neglected to do all the important things, the stuff on the ground that actually wins elections. Besides, America needs to get away from this dynastic concentration of power in a handful of families. As demonstrated by the present holder of the office, it leads to really bad things.
I'm looking forward to a woman president. But Hillary is not "the one". Hillary lost not because she's a woman, but because she's Hillary.
Aaaaaugh! HILLARY!
(Can you tell that common sense is not going to get me out of this mood?) ;)
