–Barack Obama’s victory speech, John McCain’s concession speech, and George W. Bush’s congratulatory speech.
–Is this a mandate? Will Republicans who said Bush had a mandate in 2004 agree Obama has one in 2008, given he won by twice as much as Bush.
–Were there riots as many conservative media outlets predicted?
–We touch on local election issues and how the candidates who were on our programs did.
–Proposition 8 to eliminate gay marriage in California passes, and Michael Savage thinks you would only vote for gay marriage in California if you are insane, hate the family, hate your parents, and hate just about everything else.
–The Barack Obama national infomercial.
–The risk of assuming racism is fixed because Obama won.
–The Obama smears only get worse after his historic win.
–Ralph Nader asks if Obama will be an Uncle Tom as President, while Republican supporters start hedging the strength of Obama’s victory.
