Wasn't it just.An outstanding acceptance speech by Obahma. That story about the 106 year old black woman, Anne Nixon Cooper, who stood in line today to vote on a touch screen machine, and the change she has seen in her time was a powerful image of the change in the US.
Amazing the power that man conveys with his charisma.
Agree, Stedman looked awesome.
stick your guns girl. If thats your opinion then so be it.
Did we win? We shitted it in!!thank you.

Can I just repeat that I was making a joke.
Just cos Obama won, doesnt mean its the best decision.
look at what happened last year.....i bet you all voted for Kevin Rudd.
What a mistake that was..................
Obama certainly won in his own right. His beating Clinton for the Democrat nomination was a magnificent story in itself. However the magnitude of the win was affected by factors other than Obama's performance. And yes one of those was the Republican machine dragging a moderate McCain to the loony right, where try as he might he was seen as a continuation of the Bush administration......So the Republicans lost Obama didn’t win......
When hasn't that been the case?..... his action over the next 4 years will determine if he wins another term in office.

Fair point, but most incumbents get a second term. GW almost lost it, he was was 1 million short in the popular vote in 2004. It came down to some very dodgy behaviour by electoral officials in Florida where his brother was Governor to give him just enough Electoral College votes.....Don’t know but what the hell did George W Bush do in his first 4 year of office as POTUS to get re-elected
History will answer how well his performance will be but i believe the actions of George W Bush and the Republican Party gave McCain no chance at winning this election. So the Republicans lost Obama didn’t win, his action over the next 4 years will determine if he wins another term in office.

I cannot conceive of Obama blowing off enough support to be in this position in 4 years.
Mea culpa. I had it absolutely fixed in my head it was his 2nd run that was the close one, but I acknowledge I am wrong. I really learn a surprising amount from these non-footy threads.Florida was 2000. Bush won easily in 2004, by 3 million votes......
