Obama Oh-Eight!

Woke up, turned on the computer. I already knew, there was no way that there could have been any other result. But when I saw the headline on the New York Times, of course I had to cry. It makes me so happy and excited.
And I'm a cynical academic! But, as Zizek says of American capitalism, "I know it's not real, but all the same I live as if it is."
But I always have room for worry and today it goes to Missouri which is locked at 49.4% for each candidate! The color-map of the state mirrors the color-map of the country: blue on the sides, red in the middle. If Indiana can go blue with only a .9% difference, I'm hoping the same can be true for MO.
