Congratulations, Mr. President!
As I've mentioned before, we're definitely a House of Blues, but in more ways than one. After what has seemed like a never-ending campaign filled with negative ads, ridiculous and oftentimes hostile Facebook posts, and constant commercials for both parties, Barack Obama was reelected to the presidency. YES!
Here are some more photos from last night (and here, like the ones above, both from the Chicago Tribune). And with all the electoral maps and state-by-state, county-by-county analyses from last night, the wonderful simplicity of this site says it all.
We were cheering on Obama here in Wisconsin, and were thrilled to see our new state go blue. We closely watched all the proposed amendments at home, as well, and this morning we're both proud to be Minnesotans and happy to see so many other important social issues being brought to light. Obama's speech last night was inspirational and moving, but we expected nothing less than an amazing and unifying address. Even though I was almost sleeping, it was something I knew I couldn't miss.
Here's to hoping that both parties can now move on and work together to get things done, and of course, to four more years!
