your election wrap-up with correspondent Logan

Here we are at the scene of last night's amazing, astounding, never-to-be-believed election result. Change is coming. Change we can believe in. Change we need. We have a new president. You can believe that, can't you? By constitutional amendment, a president is limited to to two full terms, so we needed to choose a new one. You can believe that, too, yes? Well then, Obama has thus fulfilled his promises! In order to celebrate, I give you a selection of Logan's election thoughts from the past few days.

At dinner the night before the election:

Logan said "Is 'rack Obama nice?"
I said "I don't know, I never met him."
Logan said "Is John McCain nice?"
I said "I don't know, I never met him."
Logan said "Oh" and resumed eating.

The morning of the election, at the polling station:

Someone said (referring to Logan) "He's too young to vote!"
I said "We're taking him down to Chicago for that."
I heard a few laughs and felt a few cold, silent stares.
Logan said "What are we doing here?"
Nina said "We're hear to vote for president."
Logan said "Maybe it's 'rack Obama and John McCain! Where are 'rack Obama and John McCain?"

The night of the election, watching returns on TV:

Logan said "That's 'rack Obama, and that's John McCain."
I said "Yep."
Logan said "First John McCain is going to win, and then 'rack Obama is going to win."
I said "Somehow I don't think that's going to happen. Though this is 2008 and most anything is possible."

The morning after the election:

Logan said "We're going to visit the president."
I said "Do you know where the president lives?"
Logan said "No, but we're going to take an airplane."
I said "The president lives in Washington DC."
Logan said "That's far away."
I said "Never far enough."
Logan said "I like fire engines!"
