Well done to Barack Obama and the Democrats and supporters!!!

I stayed up until 3 o'clock this morning watching the U.S. Election. The BBC were the bravest and were calling the winners of states the earliest so I watched that station mostly. Thanks be to God Barack Obama has one- and I mean it. Neale Donald Walsch has a blog post today talking about healing the political divide in America. I agree, although being interested in politics and having followed the election there (the first one with great interest) I won't forget the ugliness of the Republican Party's tactics. They still got 46% of the vote and that goes to show that the country really is backward in a real sense- albeit half of it. AND OK YES I do see the glass as being half full generally and he did win by over 7 million votes!!!
Mick Fealty from Slugger O' Toole has a good article in The Irish Times today about the internet and politics and it's use in the U.S. election and in Ireland.
