I was pleasantly stunned when three of Australia's five national free-to-air networks ran Obama's victory speech live - and two of them proceeded to replay it. The excitement isn't just confined to your country's borders, believe me! God, what a day. When my mother called just after Obama passed 270, I simply answered the phone with one hell of a cheer.
Now I'm downing my fifth glass of wine for the evening. Life is good.
I got into my building just in time to watch his speech in the lobby. Edward and I then proceeded to walk to the store and treat ourselves to a Jones soda. The cap on mine said "Congratulations. You just saved a child's eyesight. Thank you." I thought it was pretty funny, considering.
I heard on the radio on my way home, but I refused to believe it til I heard for sure the number of electors. When I heard 338, I think I peed on myself a little. lol.
