Before they called it, one of the pundits said wouldn't it be something if it was Hawaii that put him over the top, sort of in honor of his grandmother. Yea, I can't imagine how he must feel. And just the irony of her dying literally a day before he was to become President. What can that possibley mean? Why shouldn't that have been "ment to be?" Life is hard to understand sometimes.

I too am looking forward to seeing Obama. He's and Michelle and their whole family must be absolutely thrilled.
