Obama/Biden take Ohio and take the nation

A sweeping victory for Obama and Biden, and totally changed the electoral map maybe forever. Nine states went to Obama that 4 years ago went to Bush. That crushing win, combined with democrat majority in both houses really shows the mood of the American people. I cant help but think that this is a mandate for radical change.

Will the republicans be forced to re-start and come up with new idea's and tacticks? Many seem to say at least they have to change the way they go about governing and running for elections. In a way the republicans had a chance to gain all this power in 2000 but instead they lost it all.

It will be interesting to see what the democrats make of such an opertunity. As Preisident elect Barack Obama said last night

"This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were."
