"For those of you whose vote I did not win tonight..."

"I hear your voice."

That says it all in my mind. This isn't a president who will push through a "mandate," but will work for consensus. This is democracy.

This is one of those nights that I think we'll know exactly what happened and where we were at forty years from now. It's that important.

I am truly overwhelmed with what happened this evening. Overwhelmed, joyful and proud. Very proud. And so glad I was a part of it.

Every incoming president-elect says this. But still a great moment!
