Well done, and congratulations!

I didn't vote for him, and I didn't support him, but Obama won, fair and square. There will be plenty of time for analysis and commentary later, but for tonight Obama and his supporters deserve all the spotlights and celebrations.

And, in the months ahead, Obama will deserve the support of all the American people. Not our placid submission, which I will not give him or any politician, but our respect, which I will give. Our loyalty, after all, is to the Constitution and the people of the United States, not to any particular leader.
