Now that the election is over, I want to remember something about it.

Just one thing in particular. As I watched the election returns on TV (in real time for a change, no time-shifting with the TiVo), it was pretty obvious how the results would turn out. So it was easy to prepare myself and pay close attention when Charles Gibson made the announcement: Barack Obama has won the election. It's worth remembering the day that America made a change this significant, electing a man with half African ancestry. It's worth committing it to memory!
