Closed caption

I had no intent to liveblog the inauguration, but I’m watching the live feed at the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies website. It’s nice, because they’ve got closed captioning, but that technology is just not right. Apparently, President-Elect Obama entered to “cheese and applause”. Hmmm.

Somebody pinch me

11:25 pm, and John McCain concedes the election with only 156 electoral votes. And that’s that. I’m pretty well speechless… and I’ve never been prouder to have voted and to be on the winning side. I’m ready to move on, ready to see change. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this country.

Widget me this

I’d stick this thing in the sidebar, but it won’t fit. This is by far the most exciting election I’ve participated in since I began voting in 1996… I can’t wait for the results to start rolling in! It’s like opening night of the newest Harry Potter movie.

ETA: Way to go, Hoosiers! While most of the state is overwhelmingly red, there’s enough blue to move us to a nice shade of purple. Woohoo!!
