Throughout this entire campaign season, I think what moved me most were the pictures. From supporters, detractors, babies, puppies, and the man himself. Here's a (rough) visual timeline.

My favorite images/videos from this night was the global ones. It's truly amazing to see people all over the world excited about him. And what's up with the ears on Obama in Japan?
Isn't it amazing how the whole world has responded? Everyone is touched by the fact that he won, and people of color the world over are inspired by the fact that he has broken this barrier.

Yay! Equality for all minorities.
