The signature moments of this campaign:
Edited on Mon Oct-13-08 06:32 PM by lamprey
If each Presidential election is remembered for a moment or two, these are mine:

"The economy is fundamentally sound": McCain on the morning of the crash
"I can see Russia from my House": Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.

Do you have any favorites for the hall of fame / infamy?

21. The moment I will forever remember is BO's acceptance speech......
it was probably the most moving speech I will ever hear. So inspirational and uplifting.
I realize its probably not what you were talking about, but it is my moment.

There was a moment when Barack Michelle, Joe and Jill stepped out onto the podium and it hit me: THIS is the White House for the next four years.
