Election Elation: Obama Wins!


After what happened in 2004, I've said all along that I wouldn't believe that Barack Obama actually won until John McCain conceded.

Well, my friends, John McCain has conceded.  It was a gracious and dignified speech, the real John McCain in action.

After you exhale:

So Iowa stays the same in the Congress--with 2 red and 3 blue House districts. Too bad.  Harkin, of course, was re-elected 62-37.5.  And Obama won Iowa by 10 points (54-44).

And while the minutes are crawling by and you're holding your breath, take a look at this non-political You Tube video--my gift to you.

A comedy troupe called Moosebutter recorded a 4-part harmony acapella tribute to the music of John Williams (with lyrics from Star Wars).
 
Then, some young guy named Corey Vidal lip-synched all 4 parts and put them together on You Tube.  Hysterical AND inspiring!
