How I knew Obama won:

I was in the nursery with DD putting her back to sleep with the tv set to Comedy Central. I couldn't hear the actual words, but all of a sudden I heard prolonged, overjoyed cheering, and I just KNEW.

I am so damned happy. So. Damned. Happy. I don't even know what to do with myself now.

I cried.  I'm here in Chicago and I just wish I could be downtown right now.

Yeah, I am actually choked up. I am so relieved that there is hope, and I am so honored to have been able to be a part of history..

I was nursing Arlo and made DH turn the glider toward the living room so I could see the announcement.  It was amazing.  I can't wait to hear him speak.

I knew he was going to win when my 75 year old, very republican, grandmother told me she voted for him.

I loved the Comedy Central broadcast. And when I saw Obama's speech I cried.
