As Colin so eloquently has put it, I second that toast.  Watching the excitement unfold tonight, I could not help but feel a little jealous of the entire political process in the US, compared to us in Canada, where the electoral process is full of back biting, bullying, and numerous other offensive characteristics.  Listening to Sen. McCain's concession speech, and then the riveting speech of President-elect Obama, all I could say was, "Wow, what a country you fortunate Americans have".  Good for you, and God Bless America!  .....Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, Canada.
