Barack Obama sealed the deal earlier, securing the nomination election for the 44th president of the United States of America. And, bye the bye, the first African-American president.

Pretty amazing night. Obama gave a solid, emotional but realistic speech to the approximately 100k(?) people in Grant Park, Chicago.

John McCain gave a gracious, classy speech to about 1k folks at his party in Arizona. (Invitation only)

Sorta sums up the campaign that is now, thankfully, over.
