Make no mistake, tomorrow is not the end. It is the beginning.

I would just like to start out an say that I am so proud of the Democrats this year. We always knew we could run a better campaign, that we didn't need Karl Rove and fear tactics to win. We haven't won yet. I'm not counting those chickens. But, we are on the offensive, fighting Republicans on "their" turf. We are going into this ahead, in the best position we've seen in years.

And, thank you, all of those that have volunteered these past 20 months. Not just to those that have volunteered for Obama. Personally, I began this political season in the Edwards camp. But, from the beginning, we have been charged up. We have been ready to put our hearts and souls into electing a Democrat. We have put our divisions behind us and come together around Senators Obama and Biden.

When the votes are counted tomorrow (or next week), we will have our next president, and I believe we will have President Obama.

But, please, don't think the fight is over tomorrow.

This election is round one. The next four years will see an organized, vocal and aggressive Republican minority. They will push back against every plan we have for fixing America. They will not yield to our majority as so many Democrats yielded to them.

Make no mistake, tomorrow is just the beginning. We will need all of our strength, all of our grassroots networks to continue to be mobilized. We need to continue to speak out and support everything we have worked so hard for. After tomorrow, we will have the chance to see our dreams become reality. Fox and Rush and Bill-O will be feeding the fires of their followers. We must continue to outshine them. We must drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. They will hate it and us for it, but it is the only way to fix America.

Barack Obama could not have gotten this far without us. He will not get any further without us. Please, celebrate tomorrow, relax on Wednesday and come back ready for round two on Thursday.

GOBAMA!!

3. Thanks!

I am definitely not willing to let this opportunity be torn from us. And, I know that there are many others who feel the same way. We just need to harness that spirit and carry it into the next four years.

2. It is only a beginning. But at least it is a beginning.

Just now I am sitting here having spent an hour discussing election fraud, war, suffering of people around the world whom we could have helped, Obama.

And what I realize is that this is not just an election for you and I. This election is for the entire planet. Everyone is waiting tonight. Everyone on planet earth.

This is so much bigger than it even seems. If Obama loses (and I don't mean to be negative, or a downer) the entire world will go into a mode that it has never seen before. We saw millions hit the streets in protest over Bush and his invasion. But the people of this planet know damned well that Obama is our president. Watch out, if things go awry.

I only mention this because behind it there is health, joy, brotherhood, unity, happiness. I am now more confident than I have ever been that we are entering a new era. And actually, no matter what happens tomorrow, we have already won.

Crap. The Daily Show is on. I wanted to be serious. Oh well...

6. Go enjoy your satire

The events of tomorrow are already in place. This election does have the chance to begin the turn around for America and the world. We just have to be ready to be there every step of the way.

4. I have a confession.

I never believed that we could win this by taking the high road. If things go as I anticipate, I have some small measure of faith in my fellow man restored, and a large helping of humble pie ready for consumption.

5. I know how you feel

I think an Obama win will repudiate not only the Bush policies of the past eight years, but the Rove politics that got him there. We may really be taking this country back, and I can barely stand the thought. It's too good to be true!
