Even if your candidate didn't win tonight, you have reason to celebrate. We all do.
Ten months ago, when Obama won in Iowa, we had a glimpse of what was possible and what became real tonight.

I just finished reading this book- and I must say that it was 'ok'. I tend to get bored quickly, and sometimes this book lost me long enough for me to realize that I wasnt really paying attention (and instead thinking of my weekend plans...). All in all though, this book does teach good lessons and shows you ways to think more positivley about yourself in all aspects of life.

Dear Arianna,
I’m looking for a job. What do you think?
In the wake of the events of 1-15, in which a wedge of Geese brought down a US Airways aircraft, here’s what you won’t be hearing about from the so-called “Mainstream Media”: We brought this on ourselves.

Pennsylvania Gov.

“Ladies and gentleman, the coverage of Barack Obama was embarrassing,” said Rendell, in the ballroom at Denver’s Brown Palace Hotel. “It was embarrassing.”
Rendell, an ardent Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter during the primaries, now backs Obama in the general election.
