Yesterday I went with my girlfriend so she could vote a little after 6am. She had to vote in the bronx where she used to live. You could see the excitement on the voters faces while waiting on line. Old people and younger kids who were probably voting for the 1st time because they looked pretty young.
I'm not happy McCain lost but I'm happy for the country. He's too liberal for me but I HOPE he does well and makes us all proud. In some ways he's already made me proud because I see the exictement he has brought out in others and that makes me happy.
When George W Bush was elected I pretty much knew from day 1 he was going to suck and each day I got a little angrier. ( Newsman13 can attest to that. LOL )
With a left wing Pelosi I probably wont be that happy with what comes our way. I'd be a lot more comfortable if we had a republican congress so we could have checks and balances
BUT Day 1 Obama has a clean slate with me. If he governs from the center or close to it maybe I'd even vote for him in 4 years.
Several years ago when Barak gave a speech at the democratic national convention I said in the R&P forum on redmen.com that it was the best speech I've ever heard. You just knew then he was going places " I didnt know this fast
". Last nights was better i think. I think McCain gace his own best speech ever also last night.
Either way it's a great day for the country when more people get involved in the process in electing a president and we need to all make our govt whether it be federal,state or local more accountable to us the people
