I'm just astonished at the turnout here. 47% of all registered voters already voted early here in Guadalupe County yet there's still heavy turnout at the polls. Same in Comal and Bexar (San Antonio) .

This is a historic election, no matter what the end result.  CNN, last night, was even suggesting that Election Day be made into a National holiday in order to give everyone the chance to vote.  A lot of places are going to take a lot longer than the 2 hours allotted by most companies.

My whole family got mail-in ballots and voted last week.  Much more efficient, provides time to study each measure and compare with voter's guide and other info.

Voted over the weekend. Didn't go the way I'd hoped, but that's part of the process. Tomorrow we move forward and hope for the best in the future.

Historic night, to be sure.  McCain went out a class act.  For me, this was more a race of the vice-presidents.  There weren't enough major differences in the main candidates to sway me, but I liked Biden over Palin. 

Here's to the new boss, same as the old boss.  Let's hope the next four years prove we were right.  Only time will tell.

I have hope that things will go well.  I did feel a great respect for McCain's concession, very humble yet optimistic in defeat.  But I always remember Calvin Trillin's commentary on first year of the Reagan presidency, which was something to the effect of " I guess Carter wasn't so bad."

You've done it again. What you so excel at. Reinventing yourself and your country. Only a bit more than 40 years after segregation fell you've elected the son of a black man whose father wasn't even an American. Change indeed. I honestly believe that this could not have happened anywhere else. The American Dream at work.

Obama might be one of your great Presidents or he might turn out a disappointment, but the fact that he got there at all is compelling evidence for American virtues and qualities. Wow, you can be a great place after all! Congrats and happy next four years.

Man, I could stop watching last night! Great night. Also because I'm in love with this Dutch host Eva Jinek;)

I had to bring my car to the garage this morning, but I hardly had any sleep.

McCain's concession speech was extremely gracious, fitting the moment and statesman like. Which he in fact is. I wonder how long it will be before Obama sends him on the first troubleshooting mission?

I liked both candidates and did not see how we could go wrong until McCain made Palin VP. That really turned me toward Obama. I feel McCain would have done a good job as president, but the thought of Palin being president, I could not handle. Bush's horrible dark presidency was the dooming factor along with the economic melt down, probably no matter who McCain chose.

Both, Presidential candidates are class acts. I don't know anyone who dislikes Mccain, I know a lot of people who really disliked Pailin (Women).

I agree that it could not hurt to include McCain in the future.
