It's An Obama-Nation!!!!

There are still more votes to count and electoral votes to award, but Barack Obama will become the 44th President of the United States.

The official announcement came almost simultaneously from all networks at 11:00 PM Eastern Time as polls closed in California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii. There were no attempts to call Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, Indiana or Montana before 11AM. In fact, the last 4 were still not called as of 1AM eastern time.

An historic outcome on an historic night.

Lots of days of analysis and highlighting results ahead, but for now, applaud America for overcoming centuries of racial prejudice and electing the first African American president of the United States. A date that will be read about in history books for the remainder of US history.
