Ugh...

Looks like I needed that nap. I think my headache's gone, but I haven't walked around enough yet to judge. At least I'm not congested at the moment. I'd hate to be sick when my brother gets back on Friday.

In other news, despite having lost, John McCain is still my personal hero. I've admired the man for many years, and I'm disappointed that he lost (not surprised, though). But I'm glad it's over, because all that campaigning and posturing must have been suffocating for a man like him.

Congratulations, America. I really hope Obama brings about the change he's become known for representing. God knows the entire world has tremendous expectations of him.

McCain is cool and I like how he threw out his respects to Obama like one time his supporters boo'ed him because he called Obama a good guy.

I was really tied inbetween, and it was a really tough choice. I was more upset at the whole debacle of having a shitty ass president for 8 years so I lost any faith I had some Republican party members( except Ron Paul). I was under the impression that there is some hostility(ex. the 43 president) towards the lower classes( Middle and low class).

Whats really amaazing is that so many people voted this year. When I voted for the first time in 2004(When I was 19) the attendance was lower, but this year wow so many folks voting and smarting up.

I think that's really what happened all around. The masses are blaming Republicans as a whole for the economic downturn, and with Bush being as disapproved of as ever, and they're crossing party lines because they think Obama's plans differ enough to keep the country afloat.

Having a rock star figure like Obama on the [inter]national level probably really helped push out the vote; I know it really helped with the younger voters in this state. I think it's the economy and wanting to be part of a history that pushed out the vote so much.

Thanks Adri. ♥
