I, for one, welcome our new overlords.
Watched Obama's victory speech upon winning the election. Now the hard part begins, of course, but the historic nature of this election may give me an opportunity (for a time) to dial-back my customary cynicism - maybe we can make some needed progress.
It is about the future of course, and I hope this election opens the door to addressing problems in a forward-looking and effective way, not in ideological terms related to political or cultural wars of the past that seem to live on in the mental frames of most of our political leaders. The world is changing, in many ways, and prescriptions based on the model of "pick your favorite previous decade" won't cut it. We have to identify new approaches.
Anyway, most of the prediction markets and/or related polling site have been pretty accurate for some time. Interestingly most news outlets seemed to consistenly position the race as closer than it really ever was.
