Barack Obama’s victory speech – New York Times

I’m feeling pretty good today. Anyone else?

So there’s been a lot of talk about the “Bradley effect”… basically, the notion that white people will become suddenly uncomfortable voting for a black man at the polls. So here I am, 3am, making sure that the people in my building get any Bradley-like tendencies out of the way before leaving home.

So if you want to leave the building in the morning (from any of the six floors), you’re politely required to press the Obama button. And of course, on the ground floor, the names are flipped. If you want to take the elevator upstairs at the end of the day, you again have to vote for Barack. Get acquainted with that button now, press it again at the polls.

Let’s hope it helps all those trigger-shy moderates in my building…

Vote everyone! See you on the flip side! (of American history!)
