Dennis admitted that he cried twice today in great relief that our country has been saved. The South and the values of Middle America made the difference. He went on to say that the North once saved our Union; now the South will save it.

I must admit that after I realized Bush was going to win Ohio I almost lost it.

I was alone, it was after midnight, and I was keeping track of the precinct totals coming in from Cleveland area. Once I realized Bush had reached critical mass, my emotions got the best of me.

Thought of my wife and little girls, thought about the world my little ones would inherit if our generation fails in its duty to pursue and destroy evil.

I realized at that moment that there are still American's who believe as I do, that it is our obligation not to fail our forefathers.

Very early this morning I realized what it means to be an American. I thank God I am not alone.
