I admit it, I didn't vote for Barack Obama; I voted for the other guy. But I'm not bitter and I'm not sad. I am proud & hopeful. Proud to have been a voter in an election that became an historic happening. Hopeful that the President-elect will try to bring change, try to do some good as our Commander-in-Chief. Proud and hopeful that we Americans, perhaps, are able to look past race or party and cast our votes based on {as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. so eloquently said}: "the content of [one's] character". In my opinion, both candidates were chock full of that. So yes, even though McCain didn't win, I am proud. And I'm full of hope for our country...for its' future and its' promise. Who knows, maybe, in my lifetime, we the people will vote for a Mrs. President.

He's going to do great.
I didn't care for either one, but knowing what mess we are in now, there is nowhere to go but up.

Well said Leah. Here's hoping that the long road ahead of us is smoother and, dare I say, brighter than we can imagine. God knows we're all going to need some imagination!
Love your attitude on that! I hope that more people come to that realization too ;) (Although I must admit I am super biased towards Barack ;)
