On West Wing, a show much in the news recently for it's many parallels to the real world (such as this and this) - President Bartlett made a habit of always looking forward - so that even after big events, such as his election or decision to run again after announcing that he had a relapsing remitting form of multiple sclerosis, his first question, almost a statement, was "What's next?"

Last night, watching the returns come in, I knew Obama had it won as soon as CNN called Ohio. He only needed one state to flip - and that one was enough. Watching the news anchors dance around this fact for an hour was excruciating. But then, CNN called it as the West Coast closed - and my first thought was, "What's next?"
