Obama won with a landslide tonight.
Heather gave an extra 30 bucks to the campaign on Saturday for a chance to be flown to Chicago and meet the next president backstage.
She did not win. I do believe that she is in line for an Obama tee shirt for her efforts however.
I have met many people my age that are skeptical of turning the reins of government over to a crowd so young. The fist ppumping crowd that seems more interested in many of the things that we older folks don't get. But you get it because you are reading this blog! Don't try to hide your smug smile..
Very few of my cohorts blog or read blogs. Many do not get "text" messaging. They don't understand why anyone needs 700 TV stations when good old ABC CBS and NBC works for them. Sadly many of them missed the wonderful graphic look and the op ed work of CNN's staff.
They even holographized (not sure its a word) a reporter in Chicago to be in the studio with the team while the New York based reporter, Wolf asked her questions in real time without a whole lot of interference.
It was a historic night. We both voted absentee. So the presence of waiting in line for a chance to cast our ballots was not required. From the reports of precincts many people had to have an iron will to cast their ballot.
Personally I was disappointed in seeing any state go to Mc Cain. Don't they get it?
A big thank you goes out to Heather's friend Michael the San Francisco native who lived in the Farmington New Mexico to donate a month of time to the Obama campaign. I heard from Heather that there were some dozzies in the tales he tells of going door to door in New Mexico. I was very happy to see that New Mexico went Blue.. yeah!
I hope you had a good election night.
: ) Pat

Yeah Obama!
I am less enthused with a possible Yes on 8 result. :::sigh:::
Now THAT was a very dirty campaign and I felt that Yes on 8 dragged school children into the middle of the whole thing.
There was a burst of energy last night at the Sweet Tomatoes where I had dinner. So many people out on a weeknight! This morning there is a lethargy in the school. A hangover of sorts.
Does voting absentee mean that our votes won't be counted for several days after the election?
and i was feelin so lucky that day :(
yay obama!!!!!
i hope the girls get a little black chihuahua puppy- that would be my vote.
now if we could only reverse the prop 8 votes:(
