Live from the Empire - 10:47 p.m.


Well, well, well.  Chellie Pingree is returning to the stage.

She's acknowledging her victory.

"this is a great night.  Still some results.  She is declaring how excited she is.  Thanking Charlie Summers.

Tom Allen - for his decision to run against Susan Collins.  

A twenty month campaign.  Fortunate to have won the Democratic primary.  The debate has changed from the war - now it's health care, energy, the economy.  Change is demanded and the voters have chosen her to do it.

A lot has to be done and she is excited to be part.

It hasn't been done alone.  Imagine what it will feel like when we wake up and see the idea that people in countries all over the world are going to open their newspapers, turn on their radios and say "they did it in America"  All of us willl say "we did it".  And tomorrow morning we'll wake up and say we have a new president.  

End the Iraq war.  DOme something about energy.  We're going to be tough about this.

An amazing moment - perhaps the first step that defines the new dance that might be sweeping the entire nation.

We shall see.
