What is the most telling story about how deep the feeling and desire for change in America was that within minutes of Obama's victory was announced by the various news organizations was that a crowd gathered at Layfayette Square just outside of the fence at the White House for a boisterous and jubilant unscripted impromptu celebration that grew as the evening went on. The fact that the crowd was peaceful and no one was disrespectful of either those who voted to not change nor to the prevailing laws in America was another reason change has come to America.
Also, I must say that McPain found out what happened to McCain last night when he gave his concession speech which was eloquent and showed that the senility that was so prevalent throughout his campaign was fained for the most part - he is 72 years old so some degree of senility is to be expected - why he would fake it is confusing, but his handlers were some of the most rabid of the wing-nuts so the confusion isn't all that much.
Another telling point was the reactions of the crowds listening to McCain's speech: the hundreds of thousands gathered to celebrate with Obama listened to McCain speak in silence, respecting him and listening to what he had to say and nodding in agreement and clapping when he called for America to come together to move forward.
In contrast the small group gathered to see McCain booed and jeered when he called for coming together and there was one call from out of the group that was not quite audible enough to make out clearly (someone will enhance it I am sure) that had the negative and derogatory vibe to it that had become the hallmark of the campaign.
