TUESDAY
CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER
It's 6:45 PM, Pacific Time and, given the network consensus that Obama has taken Ohio, there is no remaining scenario in which McCain wins. If early reports are any indication, the polls did exaggerate Obama's numbers, but enough is enough.
I would expect a graceful concession from Senator McCain in a couple of hours or so. As to my conservative friends who maintained - based on Obama's biography - that the Junior Senator from Illinois will prove to be a closet centrist - we'll find out soon enough.
Ideology aside, it is a momentous occasion. Assuming that Senator Obama really has won this election, he deserves a decent honeymoon period. and - for the duration of his term - a great deal more forbearance than the hyper-partisan democrats accorded Mr. Bush. We have, after all is said and done, only one president. He will need our prayers...
