44th President-- Barack Hussein Obama
Declared the winner at 11pm EST with 333* electoral votes.
Fucking A. The next four years are going to be crazy.
But certainly Republicans got the spanking they sorely deserved. My long-held feeling has been that Bush would eventually be a disaster for the Republican party. It will be interesting to see if they change in any significant way.
Worth noting that Obama had an extremely powerful ground game, with an awesome get-out-the-vote organization, that I can speak of from direct experience. Many Obama supporters were extremely excited about his campaign, much more so than Kerry in 2004 and Gore in 2000.
No matter what else you might think of Obama, this is huge from a civil rights, human equality perspective. I find it very gratifying that Americans were able to elect an African-American president.
It's particularly worth noting that all the McCain smears completely failed in this election. I'm sure we haven't heard the end of the supposedly evil associations of Obama-- the right will keep pounding on it and hounding Obama with it, the way they did it to Clinton. And my guess is Obama will remain a popular president and will actually be a GOOD president-- a welcome change.
An Obama presidency won't, of course, be the end of deep politics, grand hoaxes, big lies, false-flag attacks and the "powers that be". How he deals with all this, however, will be interesting to watch. It's quite likely that he will pull the same crap as his predecessors did, possibly even he'll be worse. I hope not, but I won't be surprised if some totally suspicious, horrific thing happens in the next four years.
Lastly, an Obama presidency DOESN'T change the facts about 9/11 and the other Bush war-crimes. People should still seek justice for those crimes, in every way they can.
*Funny how that works.
(For some fun with the Obama win, see here.)

Indeed, right-wing politicians will do all in their power to thwart Obama's agenda.
My view is that their primary strategy will be one of pitting what they will call "conservatives v. liberals". They just found out that smear via guilt-by-association tactics are unpopular even with the majority of the TeeVee crowd, but name calling ("LIBERAL"), as a propaganda tactic has not found it's welcome worn out.
333: all things nuclear. Hope not.
Did New York Orchestrate The Asian Tsunami?
"... if the tsunami was man-made, then we are unquestionably looking at the biggest single war crime in global history."

New York orchestrated losses for both major league teams. It was a
Mainhattan salami, thinly sliced for all concerned.
