71. A wonderful night.
I was nervous all day. I started doubting whether he'd pull it out, thinking Clinton's last ditched effort to attack Obama would work. Then I started seeing the exit polling data and I felt really good. When the news started and they said they had one call to make and one indication and called it for McCain, I felt uneasy, but soon after was relieved to hear Obama had a substantial lead.

I did not expect a 17 point win. I thought the best case scenario would be 10 points for Obama, but set myself up to expect a far closer night -- one that would drag on for a few hours.

How glad I'm wrong and now the message moves to Texas and Ohio.

YES, WE CAN!
