Living next to the Canadian border I should be paying more attention to the “political crisis“ going on there right now, but Dem Daily Contibutor Michael J.W. Stickings has a full explanation on his blog, The Reaction and in The Guardian’s Comment is Free section. I highly recommend reading both.

We did it!!!! Obama routed John McCain in a full on electoral college sweep. 333 Electoral Votes and 51% of the popular vote. Add to that sweet victory: Democrats unseat GOP House incumbents.

It’s election night and after a long break from blogging I decided it was good night to sit down and do some live-blogging. The polls just closed here and CNN is projecting that Obama has taken Maine. I’m happy to say I was able to be a part of the victory for Obama here in [...]

Dear Readers:
This morning I embark on my incredible journey across country from California to Maine. As readers know, I am moving to the coast of Maine — Eastport, Maine to be exact, the last town on the coast before the Canadian border.
