This blog did not support Barack Obama for president, viewing John McCain as the lesser evil. Having said that, it would be less than gracious not to extend congratulations to President-elect Obama.
We wish the new president well because he is the president we're going to have for the next four or more years. We wish him well because we wish our great nation well, and well-governed is a part of that.
Tomorrow will be time enough to parse out what the down-ballot election returns mean. Tonight it is enough to wish all of you pleasant dreams.
