Election Night....

Well my friends, we witnessed a historic night tonight. I think regardless of who you voted for, it was pretty amazing to see our first black president elected and it is quite a significant event. I also thought John McCain's speech he gave tonight was great and I was actually a supporter of his back in 2000. I think he had to do what he had do and hopefully he can preserve some of his legacy because he really is an American hero and a patriot, and a decent man.

Although I will say I did not shed a tear now that Caribou Barbie is heading back to Alaska but I'm guessing Fox News will give her a show. Although I think they'll hang around and be sort of the political equivalent of Spencer and Heidi on the "Hills". In case you don't read US Weekly, Spencer and Heidi are this couple that everyone hates, yet they seem to still get a lot of publicity and they are so incredbily annoying. It's like a carwreck. You see it, but you just can't look away.

I'm just glad that we will have a president that can actually put sentences together and where the English language is not a challenge. And how about that diversity and enthusiasm at those McCain rallies huh? 500 white people in a hotel ballroom and Hank Willams Jr - woo hoo!

Barack IS the future of this country and you see it in the crowds. I could care less what his name is, he's smarter than most people period. And that's what this country needs, somebody with an actual BRAIN. Because when you have a brain you listen to all sides and you typically surround yourself with smart people and I do have high hopes for "that guy".

Holly and I celebrated tonight, I think we have made a huge step forward in this country (on many different levels), but to somehow think it's going to be easy is foolish. I think there are real challenges ahead, but I really do believe that Barack is the right guy for the job and I'm proud to say I voted for him. But talk is cheap and I want to see some action.

I'm out, only 76 days before we evict Dubya from the White House! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
