Oh, What A Night – Election 2008

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

I thought the Democratic National Convention couldn’t be topped, and in some ways, it can’t. The speech Obama gave that night was just awesome.

I stayed up as long as I could last night. When 11PM hit and they announced that Obama had taken the presidency, I, like many other people watching was just thrilled. I guess my gut knew it would happen, but being a Democrat for all these years, I was a little skeptical. A few hours later and after realizing North Carolina wasn’t going to be called, I went to sleep.

Did you see all those people in the streets watching the election results? What a party. I wish I was in Chicago last night.

This morning, I spoke with two of my friends who voted for McCain. They were both just as happy as I was about who won the election. They aren’t die-hard Republicans, so they knew what was going on. I like talking to those kinds of people because they make sense and can navigate through all the bull.

So, congratulations all you folks out there who voted and won. Actually, I think we all won last night.
