About last night.....

Last night was one of the most significant in my lifetime. Barack Obama was elected president by a huge margin. Growing up in South Texas there were times that I thought I would never see a black man win the Oval Office. I voted for him not because I am a Democrat, I hold allegiance to no party, but because I felt he was the best man for the job. Don't think that is all noble just yet, I thought the same about Bush in 04 and look where that got us! In a way it was sad that he was running against John McCain. I have immense respect for Sen. McCain and if he would have won the nomination in 2000 I would have voted for him. He survived a POW camp for 5 years, anyone who can do that automatically has my admiration. I think that the specter of W doomed McCain from the start. Choosing Bible Spice for his running mate didn't help either. Palin was in over her head and at the end, let her own ambitions get in the way of her party. If I want to indulge my professional woman blowjob behind the desk fantasies, yes. If I need to send my VP to handle an international crisis...no. Oh, earlier I said black, not African-American. I don't mean it in a derogatory way...I just don't do hyphens. I believe that we are not African-Americans or Hispanic-Americans or Anglo-Americans. I believe that we are all Americans. The quicker we all realize that, the quicker we can have some real unity.

About last night...the squee factor is high. (that was for you Carrie) Its gonna be a good day Tater.
