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.
Totally.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I was hearing people screaming outside, but it seems to have calmed down now. On the news, they showed people celebrating outside the White House -- that's just a few blocks from here, and I'm thinking about walking over.

I wish the popular vote showed more of a mandate.
Yeah, Pete is unnerved by how close the popular vote is/was.
The fireworks are still being set off around my neighborhood. So cool!

I have to go into work for a few hours right now. I'm having a hard time focussing. Thankfully, it's pretty easy work.

I'm just so bewildered because I was a little afraid to have that much faith in the country. I don't know what to do with a hopeful outlook. Must contrain Grinch heart from growing.

I wish the popular vote showed more of a mandate.
California, Oregon, and Washington will help with that, I think.
I have the feeling that getting booed at his own rally a few weeks ago for calling his opponent a decent man was a bucket of cold water in the face for McCain, and he began rethinking how he wanted to conduct his campaign and be remembered. Everything I've seen him say and do since has helped restore my respect for him.
