I haven't spoken to him yet. I'm sure he is quite busy. I've had the privilege of speaking to him in the past and I have to say that his election is one that means so much to so many and to see that victory in the face that all that he had to reckon with over the course of that campaign, whether in terms of the extraordinary amount of money spent to oppose him or the racism and slander that he was met with on a daily basis. It is incredibly exciting to see as as he said last night that the good guys won.
