Hey All,
This morning I told my sons to write themselves a letter about the
Obama victory. Maybe include a prediction or two & things they felt
were notable about it all. Mail 2 or 3 copies to themselves. This way
the messages will be postmarked/timestamped to verify authenticity.

Good points. And Obama's Senate seat will need a replacement for two years,
when it'll be up for election again. Could there be a chance that Jesse's son
might try to fill that slot? the endorsement of the former Senator turned Prez
could be a big help...

One of the things Obama's victory is doing for the next 30 days
is it's drawing the line between the new school and the old guard.

He should stop playa hating and be proud. Obama won cause he was for
the people and not for himself. You have to be selfless, humble, and a

I concur. I did a lot of channel hopping - from TV One to FOX to

In the end, I think the best coverage I saw was on BBC. Because
they had the pictures from around the world first. Those pictures

As far as graphics, I have to give it to MSNBC. Their 3D game was on.
