President Obama: Reax From Political Bloggers
As the major television networks christened Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., the next president of the United States, bloggers from the left and right reacted -- some more extensively than others. Some initial thoughts:
"Hell yeah"
-- Markos Moulitsas, Daily Kos
"It's over."
-- Josh Marshall, Talking Points Memo
"It is an extraordinary thing, an achievement that will be recognized a hundred years hence, that Barack Obama has won the White House. Even those of us who opposed him, and who will no doubt be opposed to many of his policy objectives over the next four years, must pause and say congratulations on an improbable, amazing rise."
-- Hugh Hewitt, Townhall.com
"It’s a historic moment. Congratulations. Here’s my promise to you: As long as I can still publish a blog and speak my mind openly about the next denizen of the White House, I will. First order of business: He can now change the “0″ to a “1.”
-- Michelle Malkin
"I have many, many disagreements with Barack Obama. But tonight I congratulate him on his victory. I have seen a few critics say, 'he won't be my president,' but that is nonsense. He will be my president, and I will wish him well, particularly as he takes on the duty of protecting the American people in a dangerous world."
-- Jim Geraghty, National Review
