I'm just. I think I'm still in shock. I watched the returns with a house full of close friends, multiple generations, and it was...unreal. The expressions on people's faces...I was trying to figure out what this weird feeling was and then I realized it was hope.
oh, and I spent two hours phone banking to Iowa and you will note we took that state handily. ::cough::
Hi, me and my sister are from Sweden and we have followed the election, and we're more than happy to see that Barack Obama now is President Barack Obama. Today is also my birthday, so that was a great birthday present! xD
There's about 7,000 people in my county and Kentucky went for McCain, but go your city. At least Louisville, where my kids live, showed more sense.
I voted for Obama. I didn't watch the returns though. I went all Zenish and decided either he would win or he wouldn't and I could use my time more profitably working on a story for a deadline.
Ugh, yes, I just woke up and it's really, really close - 53% in favour, 46.9% opposed to Prop 8, with 60% of precincts reporting. For fuck's sake, Q. *gnashes teeth*

Now to deal with the moralistic, judgmental, Prop-8-passing assholes.

But this means I can honestly make fun of him when he screws up!

I was so thrilled to cast my vote, though. I can't imagine giving up my chance to have a voice.
