Partying are the Democrats after Barack Obama had a resounding victory over Republican nominee John McCain in what is said to be the longest, most expensive, historic election in the Americas.

It wasn’t an easy tossup, as the two presidential candidates went through a grueling campaign expending their best effort, never-imagined campaign tacks and riveting messages of hope to the nearly distressed Americans.

Obama won, in solid coattails, recalling to mind the same landslide triumphs of Reagan and Nixon in the 80s and 70s.

While the win brings to the highest office the first black (shunning their storied racial issues), the whole campaign-election also changed the whole political landscape of the most powerful nation.

For one, there was the revival of volunteerism in the Americas throughout the campaign period with allegedly at least a million good-hearted peoples toward the last days of the campaign period. Two, it showed how active the Americans can get, with the largest crowds drawn and mobilized, even during the preliminaries. Three, it showed how people could shellout so much money for campaign contributions, with Obama pocketing some $600 million, sourced mostly through the Internets.

But the bottomline of Obama’s win is the repudiation of George W Bush—he who squandered America’s financial reserves, he who led their nation to the worst crisis since the Great Depression, he who incurred a the largest debt of the Americas, he who brought home body bags of boys killed in the Iraq war.

It was a long day.

Goodluck, Barack and don’t forget to thank Bush for your win.
