I don't know about you guys but I'm beat today. I just had to stay up to see Obama speak and I'm really glad I did. The best thing about an election like that is for a few moments you can't help but feel incredibly optimistic about the future.

And of course the impact of electing an African American is so significant, I really feel that one day we'll look back on this as being a true turning point in regard to race relations in this country. For years we've heard this talk of how things have improved in that regard, well last night was a clear statement of just how far we have come. It wasn't that long ago when we had such a significant racial divide in this country. Obviously in certain areas of the country the problem still exists and probably will for a long time, but this represents a significant step forward no doubt. It's a good day to be an American.
