What? We know who is going to be the next president without recounts and court
decisions? I guess that's democracy FTW.

He won because he was the best candidate and inspired people in a way that no political figure has since at least Reagan, maybe even since Kennedy.
Go listen to his speech from last night, please. You may not agree with him, but listen to it (really listen to it, without the Fox News commentary track) and then tell me that he didn't get elected for his leadership qualities.
Again, he won because he gave good speeches. And, after Bush, the fact he doesn't have an "R" next to his name really, really helped. That is it. He speaks well. Woohoo, we have presidential material, ladies and gents!
Don't confuse oratory with leadership. They are two different things. Where does this supposed leadership show itself? What has he DONE to show he is qualified to lead this country? Make some great speeches.
Edit - Prez beat me to the punch on a few points, but it still stands.
