If I never hear the words "my friends' again, I will be a happy woman. That said, it was a very nice speech McCain gave.  He did good.

Can't wait for President-Elect Obama's speech!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

I am doing the happy dance!!!!

Just heard McCain's speech, if he ever was as nice as tonight, he could have done better.

That is what I like about Obama, he is so.....kind.....can't find the word....he is great!!!!!

Thank you amy and all of you for this awesome thread.  i have been reading it since the beginning.

This is such a great moment in history tonite, and it makes a lot of the dreams that i had and worked for in the 60's come true. i really enjoyed sharing this experience with you girls in the chatroom tonite.

I am looking forward to this future.

 i don't remember ever feeling such an impact from an election before.

Congratulations!  I hope that you ladies are right about how wonderful the next 4 years will be. 

I hope that his eloquence is reflected in his actions, and that the very deep divisions in this nation (and on these boards) can be healed.

Obama's speech last night was wonderful. I found myself with tears streaming down my face. I am so full of hope and desire for our country. It's a time to tighten the belts and work hard to get the change we need.

I am more politically connected than I have ever been. I think many of us are, on both sides of the aisle. I see it as our personal duty to stay connected. To demand high standards of ethics and professionalism from our elected officials. Now is the time to work hard--and it will be hard--to put this country back on the right track. We need to hold our state and national officals' feet to the fire. It is ur responsibility.

Wow, I'm living in a blue state. But for Ohio and Virginia and Florida--big hugs to all the folks who helped change the nation.

BC sisters, let's keep the passion going.
