For the first time in 8 years, I'm truly proud to be an American again. I think it's great that Obama won, but what impressed me just as much was McCain's gracious concession speech, where he told his supporters to put their differences aside and work together to help this country.
That whole night was truly inspiring. Seeing the tremendous turnout, the enthusiasm, the formerly apathetic young vote suddenly coming alive, the dignity of McCain's vote of support, and of course the fulfillment of that great American promise that whoever you are and whatever background you come from, you can indeed become great.
I'm glad to have been a part of this historical night. I truly believe that this was one of the greatest moments in the history of American Democracy. Congratulations, President-Elect Barack Obama!
