Wow.

Wow.

I'm impressed. And hopeful. And tired, coming down from the (say it with me) strange energy the day had.

Part of me resisted saying or even thinking "President Obama" until tonight. When he was declared the projected winner, I let myself say it. President Obama. I then said "President-Elect Obama," which of course comes first.

Wow.

I could sense the gospel inflections of the end of Obama's victory speech. And I applaud McCain for a classy, needed concession speech.

Okay, sleep next...
