Historic Night

And so it ends.

After 2 years of endless campaigning, Barack Obama has become the first African-American president-elect and the first Democrat to be elected President in 12 years.

His journey has been nothing short of historic and his victory tonight reflects both America's desire to be inspired and Obama's own tireless campaign strategy to reach every corner of the country.

I went to the rally in Virginia yesterday, and even though he was an hour and a half late, and the entire ordeal took much longer than it should have, seeing 100k people enjoying themselves at a political rally is probably something I will never forget.

Whether Obama will be able to accomplish all of his agenda items is something that remains to be seen, but his power to inspire and to "get out the vote" cannot be denied any longer.
