Yes We Can!

I've never been so excited for a President as I am tonight for President-Elect Barack Obama. I am basically a Republican, but found I could not support John McCain and his running mate.

I am surprised, humbled, and very happy that we have elected Barack Obama, who is the first African-American President. His acceptance speech moved me, and made me glad I voted the way I did. I feel like he is for US, the nation, not just for special interests, is interested in making America the nation it should be, with all our help. It's not one man's work, it's all of us.

John McCain's concession speech was also very moving. I thought it was gracious, and think that if he had run the campaign as the person that he is, with a better running mate (and didn't own 12 houses and have a fembot wife), he would have had my vote, and maybe would have won.

Phew! I've been so worried about the outcome of this race, now, hopefully, I can sleep well.
