I'm listening to Absolute Classic Rock (Virgin) on the Internet and they're discussing (very positively) the election with Larry Rosen of Edison Media Research. It's like the European team won in this match.

Continuing movement politics ahead? If so, far out. This just in.

Dennis --

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.

We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack

Seems to me like we rebooted the country last night. Now what?

Maybe time to get off an operating system that regularly gets unstable and crashes for starters.

I thought the 2nd district (Omaha metro area) was a done deal for McCain but obviously not. Maybe my puny local effort helped after all. The early and provisionals will probably lean for Obama.

Electoral Vote in Nebraska's 2nd District Still Up for Grabs - Newser.com - 05 Nov 08

"Nebraska was never a swing state, but its unique system of assigning electoral votes has left it with a surprising question mark after election night. The 2nd Congressional District, which includes Omaha, remains too close to call, with John McCain leading President-elect Barack Obama by 569 votes. And 9,000 provisional and early ballots are still uncounted, reports the Omaha World-Herald.

Republicans hail the close race as a testament to the GOP's strength in the face of a tough challenge, while Democrats are thrilled to even have contested the deep-red state. Nebraska has trended predictably Republican since 1970; in 2004 President Bush took 59% of the 2nd District's vote. Nebraska's four other electoral votes will go to McCain."

Mellow environmental piano from 2005 and funky African guitar from the 1960s and 70s today.

I got introduced to funky King Sunny Ade when I was dj-ing at the local community radio station, KZUM-FM. K-Zoom is probably best known for it's blues shows in part because of the influence of the bluesy Zoo Bar here in Lincoln. The environmental stuff is always a good pick because sometimes there are only a couple of tracks per album and so they are "cheap" in eMusic terms.

BTW, if anyone wants a free 50 mp3 intro subscription to eMusic just send me your e-mail and I'll send one out.
