The deepest experience of the creator is feminine, for it is experience of receiving and bearing. - Rainer Maria Rilke

PREDICTION: landslide.
If I try to imagine how long it has taken and at what cost it has come about, that a black citizen of America should rise to the post of POTUS, I feel
gutted.
They called him a socialist and a muslim – as if those were, by definition – bad things. They called him a terrorist. Forgive them, even if they know exactly what they’re doing…? Well… free to ride a bicycle. Free to run for president – and win.
The first thing I heard by way of a result was the Dixville notch count in New Hampshire. It’s long been the tradition in the tiny precinct of Dixville to close the polls at 12 a.m. on Election Day and count the ballots. Dixville and the nearby polling station in the town of Hart’s Location combine their electoral efforts and proudly proclaim a 100% voter turn-out since 1948. The first voters in the country to release their results set the tone for later in the evening: 32 for Obama and 16 for McCain (2 write-in votes for Ross Perot and none for Ralph Nader).
I don’t know about you, but … I was worried about these dang things …!
YIKES! (Then again, I’m a Canadian, so… you can imagine why I would.)
Barrack Hussain Obama is the president-elect of The United States of America.
Maybe, just maybe, the crowd is bullet-proof.
The real question and what remains to be seen is: HOW FREE is HE?

Hello Robin,
Yes, the question is…how free is he? Along with who are his advisers/administrators, and are they, will they, begin to repair the damage to the laws and regulations (all those checks and balances)that have systematically been dismantled over the years resulting in the worlds present financial crisis…among other imbalances/crisis.
It seems…there is a wave of will and intent from an ever widening base from many circles to help push those in positions of power to replace, rebuild and implement laws and regulations where they are so desperately needed. Much work lies ahead, perhaps new doors are opening.
Keep in touch…m.o.m.
change, we can,believe in.
Hello m.o.m. … hey c-dog
Optimism is alive and well. 
What a beautiful thing that is! Perhaps … the optimism that Obama represents is even more significant because of all the people who are inspired by it. What will people so inspired be able to accomplish in their own lives and in their communities…? That’s the only kind of change I can believe in.

I liked one though from this election,” Obama won not because of his race, but in spite of”. I’m sure he’ll make a difference.
In addition, I would like to recommend you one movie
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1166827/ Zeitgeist is the title.
