Mark Levin:

On FOX, they're giddy about the Barack Obama election. On MSNBC, they're crying. This country faces serious challenges with an Obama election and such a large Democrat majority. I can't get caught up in Obamamania -- I couldn't before and I can't now. This is a historic election, but I am more concerned today than yesterday about the nation's future because of the policies Obama himself said he would pursue. And we conservatives have much work before us.

Jonah Goldberg:

For those who disagree, I'll have a lot more commentary on this tomorrow. Trust me, I understand where your head is at (at least most of you). I am very disappointed and deeply worried about the future of the country. Deeply. But you only have one president at a time. And it's at least worth remembering that the job of political conservatism is not simply to see Republicans win every election, it's to move the country to the right.

Mark Steyn:

I think we are near a point at which America joins the rest of the west as a center-left society - that's to say, a society whose assumptions about the role of government and the size of the state are far closer to Continental social democracies than to the Founding Fathers. In a grim media-cultural environment, the temptation for American conservatism is to be seduced into becoming one of those ever so mildly right-of-left-of-right-of-left-of-center parties they have in Europe. We should have the fight about conservatism's future vigorously and openly - perhaps at Bud's Roadhouse out on Route 137 in lieu of All-Girl Mud-Wrestling Night.

All from The Corner.

And ditto the post by Walsingham below. I am watching Obama's acceptance speech: who wrote this? And why does it have no relation to his campaign?
