"Time to Unite"

In a historic end to a historic Presidential campaign, Barack Obama was elected the first African-American President of the United States. It was hard not to get misty-eyed when he spoke about how far the country has come from the days when women and African-Americans weren't even allowed to vote, much less be candidates for President or Vice-President.

Both candidates were incredibly eloquent and gracious in their end-of-campaign speeches, and Sarah Palin gets credit for the quote above, that it's "time to unite".
