Delivered

We have delivered Philadelphia, which delivered Pennsylvania, which delivered the nation to Obama.

At the polling place I watched, someone brought leftover Halloween candy. About 5:00 p.m., I unwrapped one and read inside: "Sending hope your way."

After we closed the polls, pulled the tapes, and recorded the numbers, we celebrated with a bottle of France's finest. "That was the campaign," I said. "Now time for the champagne!"

They just called Ohio, and I can hear cheers and shouting all over the neighborhood.

I almost don't feel as if I've been up since 4:45 a.m.

Dinner, returns-watching, and sleep for me.
