Things start getting a little strange now. 4:30 in the morning and it's all getting unreal - me, the net, Wolf Blitzer & Anderson Cooper. In about half an hour Obama will be called as the new President, but I'm getting a bit too tired and drunk to know id that's in the same world that everyone else inhabits...
I think McCain's going to concede first, then Obama will speak to a million people. The big, big, thing that is not, of course, on CNN, is how the movemeent that Obama has unleashed will be part of the governing process. It's a grassroots organised movement, Obama knows how organising works, and that movement can work two ways: to own Obama, or for him to use against the established order - when, for example, the senate gives him grief. I think that's his nuclear option, but that he will use it to keep people involved, and can maybe even make a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
