Obama Wins! Comic Sales Beat McCain’s (ICv2.com)
(ICv2.com)The election is over, and the results are in. Sales on IDW’s Barack Obama biography comic beat those on the John McCain version handily, by a 59% to 41% margin, according to an IDW spokesperson. Those numbers are based on sell-in to direct market comic retailers, which can serve as a close proxy for actual sales to consumers.
That margin appears to be wider than the popular vote percentages, which may reflect a different political composition for comic fans than for the American population, or just the desire of comic fans to collect the comic biography of the presumptive winner (Obama has been leading in the polls for some time).
The comics were serious biographies of the candidates, and shared trade dress and cover design (see “IDW’s Comic Book Bios”). (Published: 11/05/2008 12:29am)

Even if your candidate didn't win tonight, you have reason to celebrate. We all do.
Ten months ago, when Obama won in Iowa, we had a glimpse of what was possible and what became real tonight. What I wrote then about one state is now true for the whole country:
Barack Obama's impressive victory says a lot about America, and also about the current mindset of the American voter.
Because tonight voters decided that they didn't want to look back. They wanted to step into the future -- as if a country exhausted by the last seven-plus years wanted to recapture its youth.
And they turned out in unprecedented numbers today to make sure that no amount of scrubbed rolls, malfunctioning machines, endless lines, or polling places running out of ballots would block the way.

I can't take much more of this. Two weeks to go, and I'm at the end of my rope. I can't work. I can eat, but mostly standing up. I'm anxious all the time and taking it out on my ex-wife, which, ironically, I'm finding enjoyable. This is like waiting for the results of a biopsy. Actually, it's worse. Biopsies only take a few days, maybe a week at the most, and if the biopsy comes back positive, there's still a potential cure. With this, there's no cure. The result is final. Like death.
