Congratulations President-elect Obama.

Five states remain uncalled: Alaska, Montana, Missouri, Indiana, and North Carolina.  Barack leads Montana, Indiana, and North Carolina by small margins presently.

Senate seats stand at 57 Democratic 40 Republican and 4 in play.

Obama's victory speech was was moving and compelling as ever.  I really look forward to finally having a president I can respect, a man with a strength of intellect to match the strength of his conviction.  There are dark days ahead, but I can't think of anyone better to lead us through them.

At this time I am going to sign off and hit the hay.  I've been at this since before 6 AM yesterday morning and I am exhausted.  I need to get some sleep.

I'll update the tallies in the morning.

My sincere thanks to everyone who helped out with poll reports.  I'll be disabling the pollreport e-mail address.

Goodnight folks!
