I guess this can go in this thread.
Congratulations to Obama and Biden.
There's still some things I want to find out, ie: did the elusive 'young voters' actually did turn out this year, same with the 'undecided voters'. But that's baseball stats minutiae right now.
Let me just say this. As a Canadian who recently participated in my own country's recent election with one of the lower voter turnouts. I offer the United States and her citizens regardless of who they voted for, a hearty salute for their participation and engagement.
And I say this as a sincere compliment. For 2 years, the US election has offered me an amazing assortment of political theatre. When it comes to politics as entertainment, at this time and place it is my view that the US National stage is the biggest political stage of them all. It was a multi-media smorgasbord ranging from text coverage, online discussions, cable news, big 3 network, Youtube, Stewart & Colbert, Stone & Parker, Tina Fey, and (Insert Name) the (Insert Occupation)!
So thank you again for one hell of a show. I heard the epilogue might be even more interesting.
