In the Observer: Election Night in New York City, the Obama Administration
By Katharine JoseJason Horowitz writes about a possible new Obama-Clinton axis in Washington.
Steve Kornacki wonders if Obama will be able to avoid the early disasters of Bill Clinton's presidency.
Joe Conason thinks Obama will be able to redefine the American political center.
Old Town owner Gerard Meagher was pulling for McCain, but thinks the republic will survive Obama just fine. (Also: for the record, pretty much everyone else on staff there was very strongly for Obama. And they kind of shudder at the idea that Gerard is speaking for them, politically. Really. Ask them.)

America has a feeling Obama
America has a feeling Obama Whatever won't quite make it to The White House, and won't get much further in politics, period. After so much fraud, intimidation, threats and viral blogging against America to get elected, we will all finally have our say on what happens to Obamasama, and that will be a truly democratic vote for a CHANGE.
We all safely know Obamas days are numbered in America. We can feel it in the air. It's the smell of CHANGE. And it hits between the eyes.
