I'm watching msnbc right now, and I'm having trouble typing this post.  They still haven't called my state (NC), but they've called this election for Barack Obama.  It's just really hit me: finally, I can truly say it and mean it--I'm proud to be an American.

More when coherency returns, although NC seems to be turning for McCain at the last moment.

YES WE DID.

ETA: They've called NC for Obama today, and though the vote margin was ~13.000, my state went blue. This hasn't happened since 1976, when Jimmy Carter won here. This is huge.

I'm not happy, I'm not proud -- it hasn't got a damn thing to do with the country for me, it's a worldview thing and I AM SO FUCKING RELIEVED FOR THE WORLD for the time being.

I'm so proud right now of everyone who managed to get out there and stick up for this country's real values and voting for Obama/Biden.

And oh, God, am I joining you in that temporary relief.
