Hopefully, it will also be seen as an absolute rejection of the hateful, disgusting Rovian-style of campaign that McCain lowered himself to running, and, with luck, we won't see Republican candidates inspiring their followers to hatred and violence again in at least this generation.

happy that America has her first black president.
not as happy that it is Obama, but hopeful that things will work out.

Happy for the vision of America as the land of hope, compassion, fairness, intelligence, diversity, and dignity.

When President Obama turns out not to be the big, bad boogeyman, are all the people who fear him so much now be disappointed that they no longer have a public figure to ridicule and hate? I can bear their discontent with great fortitude.
