I didn't notice this at the time, because I was jumping up and down and screaming, but KO was choking up. What a beautiful scene.

[Left Brain]

1. thank you SO much!

I've been looking for this everywhere.

I missed it last night. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
:hug:

2. WOOHOO!!!

I had it on MSNBC when they announced it...but yeah, I was so excited I missed what they showed after Keith called it for Obama. :party:

3. Missed the MSNBC broadcast in favor of CNN's.

MSNBC's format was too "Today show" like - seated talking heads.

[WoodyD]

4. Maybe if I play this on a continuous loop

it will erase some of the horrors of the last eight years. This isn't just another election or just a new president. It's taking our country back and restoring what it truly means to be an American. In the last couple of years especially, when I've seen a flag it reminds me of partisan bickering over lapel pins and idiotic claims of insufficient patriotism. Now seeing all those flags flying brings a tear to my eye. President Obama will restore the promise of that flag.

5. I cried all over again.

Thank you. K and R.

[NightHawk63]

6. Me too.

[progressoid]

7. Wonder if Rachel was choking up too

[Beaverhausen]

8. I was busy popping the champagne and didn't realize Gregory deferred to KO to make the call

that was very cool of him.

:cry:

[kanrok]

9. I could watch that over and over and over...

In fact, I have watched it over and over and over...

[Cali_Democrat]

10. Definitely the best moment last night

:D

[keith the dem]

11. I thought MSNBC was very good last night.

Even tweety is much better when he is with Rachael and Keith.

[Muttocracy]

12. to me he called it earlier when he did the math with CA, WA, HI earlier

but that was great to hear - I probably just thought it was my internet connection wobbling!

[Liberal Dose]

13. Kicking this so I can view later. I missed it too. (nt)

[MelissaB]

14. Shit, it's been pulled and I missed it...

[gratefultobelib]

15. Oh, oh, oh. Thank you so much! Tears all over again, but it feels so good to cry!

[MrObama]

16. Yes We Did!

17. man......

All of those emotions came flooding back. I will never forget this as long as i live.

[Chichiri]

18. I was lucky enough to be watching MSNBC at 10 central. I had a hunch.

This is a moment I'll remember forever. I honestly thought they'd call the states first, and there'd be a whole big thing about the math, etc. But instead,

DAVID: It is now 11:00 on the East Coast, and Keith, we can report history.

KEITH: Barack Obama is projected to be the next President of the United States of America.

Cue the Chichiri-faucets.

[aaronbees]

19. A luminous moment written in time...

Forever. :grouphug:

[Condem]

20. It will be my job to kick this once a week.

I never grow tired of it.

[Kaleko]

21. Thank you so much for kicking it!

I had not seen this before. And now the happy tears are flowing again. What a great moment for the entire world that was...

[Cha]

22. I break up every time

I see a clip of that night! This is great..thank you, Florida~

[mucifer]

23. I was lucky enough to be in Grant Park on Nov 4th. Thanks for posting this. It's fun to watch!

[ramapo]

24. I don't know if I'll ever get tired of watching this

I still find it almost overwhelming. Thanks for posting.

[Condem]

25. Two weeks ago this second.

Hard to believe. It was unseasonably warm in Iowa. Now it's cold as hell.

[Condem]

26. Three weeks.

[Condem]

27. Four weeks

[SusanaMontana41]

28. Thanks for posting this, Florida

I needed a GOOD cry.

:fistbump:

[BNMarin]

29. Awesome

I remember it like it's today.

[Lil Missy]

30. It still gives me goosebumps. *sniff!*

[fortyfeetunder]

31. I had not seen TV that night either

was at a business function and no one talked about the election!

Thank you for sharing, for now I know what I missed!

[Blu Dahlia]

32. this is the best clip I've seen. Pure crowd reactions

minus endless pontificating by self absorbed commentators.

[Condem]

33. Five weeks.

That asshole Illinois Governor will never spoil this.

[Condem]

34. Has it really been six weeks?

Dig it.

[Condem]

35. A day late and a dollar short

I apologize for not kicking this last night. 7 weeks, one day. Maybe it will put you in the holiday spirit.

[EFerrari]

36. That's one of the few things I've saved on my TiVo doohickey.

:)

[Condem]

37. Eight weeks. Three to go.

[Condem]

38. Nine weeks.

Just two left.

[Condem]

39. That's it. Don't ask me to kick this again.

10 weeks. Next week, history.

[Best_man23]

40. No Kick, then I will
