Senator Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States.
This has been an amazing presidential race in almost every way. OffTheBus has depended on you to report it and we're depending on you to send us your comments tonight. Let us know what you think about our new President Elect.
Happy Election Night! See you tomorrow.

That said, I am tremendously hopeful, and I believe with all my heart that Barack Obama will be one of the best presidents in US. history. Of course not everything can be done immediately, or within the 100 day time frame. But I trust that he will be surrounded by the best team of people and one by one they will hammer away at all that needs to be done.
I hope, I believe, and I support Barack Obama, so nice to have you as my President sir!!
We need something like Off The Bus to keep on-the-ground reporting going on issues and to report on citizen organizations. Maybe not 1000 posts a day, but there WILL be news on the ground, and I'd like to read about it from citizen journalists instead of through the lens of local media.
So I suggest "Off The Bus" become "On The Beat" and continue using individuals to keep us up to date.
Henry Aaron, #44, broke the ultimate record.
Feelings of pride and gratitude. Tears fall frequently, realizing the full meaning of this historic election.
One moment giddy, the next the tears come again.
I feel so filled with so many emotions, all intensely good. Right now, I could not be happier for the USA!
That we are one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
It did. St Pete/Tampa here - we are now blue.
My daughter and I watched it all last night
then popped the cork on the champaigne.
This is a wonderful day and a long time
coming.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
I'm so deliriously happy...
