Obamavalanche!!
I’ve never been so into a nationwide political event before. Election day results had my stomach fluttering with excitement for about four hours.
Kudos to McCain for a supportive and gracious ending speech and for intervening with his support crowd’s booing.
Obama made a wonderful speech to what looked like all of Chicago crowded into one park. He is an amazing public speaker. I, a hardcore pessimist, admit feeling hope after listening to him address his audience, the American people.
Still waiting for news on the California propositions. Please, please, no on 8. This is the only situation I can think of where no matter how hard I try, I can’t think from the other side of the debate. Prop 8 is less about banning gay marriage than it is about banning human rights. Where will we be next, discussing the rights of interracial couples in this day and age?
Also crossing my fingers for a yes on 2. Costs will rise, but we are trading money for health, clean food, and animal rights. It’s irrelevant that these animals are being raised as food, they have a right to be raised in health. Plus, if we are what we eat anyways…
Much to do. Still excited, but I put off a lot of homework so I could watch the news.
