I took the suggestion of a salon.com reader and watched election coverage on Fox News. Not because I love Fox News, but because I wanted to see them in despair when Obama won.

Once they announced that Obama took Ohio, I knew it was over. Ohio pushed Obama's total up to 194. Even without Colorado, Nevada, or Virginia, that meant when the polls closed on the west coast, Obama would have enough states to win. Fox News knew it too. One of their analysts looked like he was going to cry. It was a beautiful thing. Brit Hume and Karl Rove were gracious, however. They interviewed a Republican congressman from Wisconsin who said Republicans need to stop being afraid to voice their ideas and stand their ground. I wonder where the hell this guy has been for the last 14 years.

My friends and I were flipping back and forth between Fox, CNN, and Comedy Central. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert were a treat to watch. Jon Stewart interrupted Colbert's tirade about how there were too many single hockey dads and hockey moms running single-parent hockey families to annouce that Barack Obama had won.
