4. Congrats to Obama, and cheers to his supporters.

While I am not yet won over, it is hard not to recognize the big stride gained tonight. Props are duely given.

5. The Democratic Party has a lot to be proud about tonight

History was made, the turnout was incredible, and this is the first of many steps to getting W out of the White House.

Regardless of who ultimately wins the nomination, we should all be very proud. :toast:
