President Barack Obama's narrow victory in the popular vote complicates his ability to launch a new bold new agenda, reclaim the mandate of his 2008 electoral landslide or trigger deep soul-searching in Republican ranks.

Sure, the numerical line-up didn't change much: a Democratic president, a narrowly Democratic Senate and a Republican-led House. But under the circumstances, the results made an extraordinary statement about commitment to change.

The loss of a white majority in the U.S. has helped drive a truly explosive growth of the radical right in the last three years. For months now, groups on the radical right have increasingly fretted about a possible Obama victory. Now that that has occurred, they may grow more dangerous still.

Ahh the hell with it....this is too great a day for goofy (not to mention pointless) satire. We've had eight years of someone enjoying himself at the expense of the country. Now, mercifully, this country may finally have a President.

As soon as the California polls closed pushing Obama over 270, Democratic wives around the country exploded in frenzied ecstasy as a tidal wave of unabashed married sex swept the country.

It's time to bring in a new generation of leaders to the White House, not just a new version of the same.

Given conservative Republicans' beliefs that Obama is a far left candidate, the more moderate (in their view) Senator Clinton may become a more acceptable choice for Secretary of State.

Please, Mr. Plouffe, on behalf of the vast infrastructure of dedicated Democratic field organizers and community activists, go run the DNC.
