Here's something fun. The New York Times has compiled a nationwide map showing, county-by-county, the change in presidential voting between this election and previous ones. To use it, click here and then click the button labeled "Voting shifts." Then zoom in to Colorado.

In Douglas County, Barack Obama scored 41% to McCain's 58%, a margin of 17 percentage points. In 2004, Kerry's margin was 34 points. This is an improvement of 17 points. The only county in Colorado to do any better was Weld, which went from a margin of 27 to a margin of 9, an improvement of 18 points. Arapahoe County, our immediate neighbor to the north, went from a 4 point deficit to a 12 point win, a swing of 16 points.

Your hard work paid off. We changed the world, even in Douglas County.

One hour before Obama's speech, the stadium is nearly full, and thousands are still waiting in the line outside.

The TV talking heads have been especially useless in offering any insight this election season.

Obama takes the stage. Click for his speech.

The team heads out for the long race ahead.

The crowd celebrates the tremendous promise of America.
