We in Alaska have still got a ways to go in determining the end of our election--maybe tonight we will know!

But in the meantime, this is what I have to say at the end of this. For everyone.

I can't think of anything else to say. You can see the vids. You can ask me. You can look back with me. But for now, all I can think of saying that is appropriate for the occasion... is thank you.

As for more thanks...

MTV Newsroom, you're all a blast. If I ever come visit one day I expect to see the Alaska flag hanging up!

Thanks Mom, Dad, Shelby, Courtney... and my whole family. You guys always listened to me get happy, get frustrated,

Thank you to Aaron, of course.

Thanks also to Phil, Tom, Matt, Katie, Drew, Carey, Chris, Nathan, Leah, Sarah, and everyone else who took up for me and cheered me on and provided inspiration.

Thank you to all the elected officials for giving so freely of their time, and to the locations that hosted them.

Thank you to Governor Sarah Palin and her stellar press staff.

Thank you to all the candidates in all races who fought hard. Barack Obama and Joe Biden, John McCain and Sarah Palin... what an election.
