Last political post for ... a while... I promise.

...All the pundits and predictions I've been reading for the last month, or so, have said that the election would turn on Virginia.

For the last week, the Republican National Committee (Since the McCain Campaign no longer had the money) has been plastering the television airwaves down here with anti-Obama ads that make the anti-Kerry Swiftboat ads look highminded in comparison.

Virginia's polls were among the first in the nation to close.

Virginia's results were among the last to be called.

Thanks, Virginia, for giving me indigestion, tonight.... really.

Only just now is the adrenaline draining from my system.

And I realize it'd been gradually building for two days.

Getting a crash headache, now.

But that acceptance speach of his made me proud. My mother would have loved it. She was a community organizer.
