So Obama won! I think this marks the first time a cantidate I voted for won. I’m releived that the Bush administration will finally be over, but I’m also a little ambilovent. I mainly voted for Obama not because I expected him to change things (the President only has so much power, or at least he *should* only have so much power) but because he seemed the least likely to make things worse
Take that with a grain of salt as I can be a real idiot when it comes to politics (not watching television or reading the paper can do that to you)
Now that you mention it, this is the first time a candidate I voted for for president actually won too. If you don’t count the mock election in middle school when I voted for Bill Clinton. I have voted in every election since Clinton left. The only people winning were governors and local government. As far as presidents, I have voted for Gore, Kerry and now Obama.
I second all of that. Plus, Palin really scared me. I couldn’t have her represent us womenfolk, we’ve come too far to turn back.
