McCain's speech was very gracious. I'll give him that.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Yeah, the moment I posted, a friend pinged me to say that McCain was conceding so I went ahead and texted.
WOO MOTHERFUCKING HOO.

This is proving to be the blowout I thought it might be, if it wasn't going to be a squeeker. Obama has gotten just about all of the battleground states, including Nevada.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
During the concession speech, I felt like the McCain I used to admire (and so wanted to as the Rep. candidate in 2000) was back from the dead.
Some of the people in that crowd, though? Scary.

I wish the popular vote showed more of a mandate. I wish I lived in a place that was celebrating.
