Sorry, I've been waiting a long time to say that.

I am going to be a little cynical for a moment here but don't we end up making history anytime we have a Presidential election? I thought these things normally are marked down in history so this day would be a history making day no matter who the candidates are??? I know people are talking history as in either the first black President or the first female vice president but like I said it would have been a history making day anyway.

Actually, I was talking about the election in general. You are correct. We make history in every election. And - today we make history! I find it exciting.

Yes we will make History, Only if you Vote. So go out and Vote.

I can be as cynical as the next guy, but I can think of a few elections in my time that didn't "make" history. 1988, 1996, and 2004, for example.

I had to vote three times. The first two, the Bradley effect hit me. So, I had to throw those ballots away and ask for a new one.

I agree. I mean, I guess what I had for lunch yesterday is also history. But the OP is saying that today is an important historical moment. How's that? A little more specific.

I'm excited too and I intend to stay awake tonight until a winner is announced (assuming it doesn't, heaven forbid, take a week ) I want to watch history being made as it happens. Guess I'll have to take Starbucks up on their offer!

It's a great day.

It is going to be a long day! I will make sure to get lots of munchies in!!

Tacky joke. I just had an image in my mind of someone trying to vote for Obama and their pen hovering above the ballot. Then suddenly the pen takes on a life of its own and votes McCain. So, the person angrily marches back over to the ballot table and asks for another ballot, insisting they were Bradley effected.

And I think it does definitely have to do with this being the first non-White male to be elected President. This is much more of an event for the United States than the first Catholic President, IMHO. It reflect a growth in national maturity, reflecting a greater level of inclusiveness.

 

[shasess]

Yes, we do!!!!

It is a very exciting day today!! Hope is in the air!!

Like the scene in "Liar Liar" when Jim Carrey is trying to make his pen write the word Red even though it's a blue pen and his hand won't let him.

Absolutely! A Catholic can change their religion, your race is forever...

I so hope I am celebrating the election of first black President!

It will be such a wonderful feeling to know how far we have come!
