Obama Passes 270

By Timothy R. Butler | Nov 4, 2008 at 22:10:41

DEVELOPING: With California reporting its results, it appears that Sen. Obama is now President-elect Obama. Votes are still coming in, but OFB believes that the senator from Illinois has already clinched the presidency.

Sen. McCain has given a concession speech calling for unity amongst Americans and wishing “Godspeed” to his president. You can find the text of the speech here. Sen. McCain exited with the same sense of honor and class that he ran, hopefully sounding a note that will help as the new president seeks constructive discussion in the months to come.

At press time, Sen. Obama appeared to have obtained well over 300 electoral votes. Notably, "bell weather state" Missouri so far appears to have gone for Sen. McCain, breaking a long running trend of going with the winner.

Sen. Obama will be officially elected by the Electoral College in December.

The Danger of Peacemaker

By Timothy R. Butler

Here is a story. The leaders of a church have a personal agenda against someone and want to quiet him, exact revenge or what have you. They not only come at him within their church, they continue by following him outside of that church to any other church he seeks refuge at and any place he works, making a wreck of his life in the process. That is the sort of thing that only happened in the past, in dusty tales of witch-hunts in Salem or the Inquisition in Spain, right? Wrong: it is happening today, perhaps at a seemingly normal church near you.
