Now, can the Chicago Cubs PLEASE Win the World Series!?!?
That and a Woman President are the only other two things I still really want to see in my lifetime after this.

2. This is from a White Sox fan.
I do want to see the Chicago Cubs to win a World Series. Let's hope that it will happen in 2009 season.

5. I want to see a successful 8 years of an Obama presidency,
then a woman president(Hillary) and I want to be able to marry the woman of my dreams, whoever she may be. While we are wishing for the impossible that has now been proven possible, I might as well make a couple wishes too.

I'm still in shock and crying tears of joy, but mostly, I'm :party: and :woohoo:

9. I've heard a duck fart underwater, but
nothing is as inplausible as the Cubs winning the series. Place your bet on Palin getting the wolf and moose vote in Alaska.

12. Mets first, okay?
You can't expect partisans of the other 29 teams to chime in!

13. I seem to remember the Mets winning a World Series in my lifetime, 1986 right?
I know it seems like a long time when you have a team like the Yankees across town, but 22 years seems like a blink of the eye when you compare that to 1908 for the Cubs.

Really, you Mets fans sort of owe us (Cubs Fans) one, for trading former Cub, Bill Buckner, to the Red Sox, because if it wasn't for Bill Buckner's error in Game 6, one that is very typical of what we Cubs fans see every year, the Mets might not have won that one.

14. Amen.
But the Cubbies need to find their hearts and wills to win. That's the only thing holding them back. They coulda, woulda, shoulda done it this year but, it seemed to this Northsider, the team wasn't "hungry" Except for maybe Dempster, who clearly had a case of nerves in the worst way. Not good for a pitcher at all.

Having said that, I think Obama will now be like Nirvana was to Grunge. A door opener for a flood of opportunity. I fully expect, and look forward too, seeing many African American, Latino, female and gay people winning elections in government.

15. If only.
That post-season was just so sad this year.

16. If you told someone in 1908 that a black man would be elected
president before the Cubs won another World Series, what do you think they would say?
