Election Netcast Special / by Douglas Johnson

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! (Ahem.)

Next Left - tries to find the essential reads of the election.

Shiraz Socialist - The Reagan Coalition is dead. At last!

Plattitude - exercises the inner Obama.

Penny Red - rather sums up how I felt last night.

Pickled Politics - has pictures from an Obama office on election day, and a fitting reaction to victory.

Bob Piper - wishes that we had the same chance to vote for change in 2010.

Socialist Unity - Obama isn’t Blair, and this won’t be a New Labour style disappointment; the campaigns were different, and so will be the terms.

Stroppyblog - Melanie Phillips isn’t happy. Oh dear. (YES!)

The Yorksher Gob - has three pleasing open letters.

Rayyan Mirza - has some thanks to say.

Daily Kos - has pretty pictures.

More later, when I’ve had some sleep. Tips very welcome in the comments!
