Yes, we did!

Thank God. There will be a hard road ahead, trying to fix all that has been broken over the past eight years, but what a triumph. I have been too anxious to hope for the past week. It’s time to hope again.

In my opinion there was no way Obama couldn’t win. People were so fed up with Republicans that there was no way a Republican could win. I even believe that if things were different and Obama was a Republican, he would have lost. America has spoken.
I was just too afraid of the alternative to be confident – but I think you’re right. Even Republicans are ready for a change.
I saw an interview with a group of black high school students and they were asked if they would have supported Obama if he had been a Republican. They all agreed it would have been very hard, but they would *not* have supported him because no one Republican could understand their lives.
