BBC's also shown Jesse Jackson in tears - very bittersweet for him.

FL and VA called for Obama.

McCain's having to quiet the crowd booing when he mentioned Obama's name, as he concedes.

And McCain's concession speech far more dignified than much of his campaign... if he'd run like this throughout, he might have won it. Wonder if that's going through his mind.

CNN had a brief shot of Jesse Jackson standing in the crowd, tears streaming down his cheeks. Talk about the passing of the torch from someone who marched with Martin to seeing the new, next best hope be elevated to the presidency.

Wonderful speech from McCain now too. I will always think that when politics are put aside, he is a very decent guy. I'm just glad that the election ended the way it did.

Trying to take it all in now.....wow.
