Obama references Lincoln, channels Kennedy in acceptance speech
A beautiful acceptance speech and a great way to end the night.

Obama the clear winner, but McCain's speech was a class act. Although I do not feel he was the best choice, if he could have connected with the people like he did in his concession speech, he would have had a much better chance. Full of truth and integrity that so many moderates would have expected from him during the campaign.
Glad its over, phew.
I expected Obama's speech to talk more concretely about the future rather than who he was right now (the yes we cans got a bit annoying). I guess with the monumental act that was of voting in someone merely looking like him in 2008 took over the evening. It must have been extra emotional for the new president considering he lost his grandmother a day before. Glad it is over too!
I actually totally forgot about the election today, as I sent in my absentee ballot over a month ago, until I happened to be walking by a hotel in Bangkok and saw a bunch of people's eyes glued to CNN. It was an exciting moment.
What a relief to have this country finally elect a man of high moral stature and a vision to transform the US back into a country its founding fathers could be proud of.... and yes I actually believe 'yes he can'.
