I do have to say that the historical nature of this election was not lost on this Republican. I think that it is beyond amazing that a Black man is now President of a country that had a really hard time giving up slavery and with civil rights for people other than white men. I think that this is an amazing time for our country and I hope that Obama can be the change that he talks about!
The Republican party had it's chance to deal with the problems that the country is having and now it is only fair to let the Democrats have a shot at it, and we'll see if it is as easy as they think it is.
I also had a very hard time choosing who to vote for, I think that Barrack Obama is a very eloquent speaker and now we will have a chance to see if he can act on everything that he has said he would do. I feel very strongly that John McCain was also the COMPLETE wrong choice for the Republican candidate. If the GOP were really thinking about trying to win the election, they would have realized that McCain is "old Washington" (not just the fact that he is old, but the fact that he has been there for a long time) and that the country wanted someone different. I personally feel that the GOP realized that when they chose Sarah Palin, an unknown from Alaska. It would have been great if the GOP and Republicans across the US would have realized that the Independents and more conservative leaning Democrats would have been more likely to jump on board the GOP bandwagon and ride it all the way to the White House.
I hope that Obama, can live up to everything that he spoke about in his campaign...

I agree, you made some good points.
I agree completely with you, except, for me, Sarah Palin was the final nail in the coffin on McCain's campaign. She is way too conservative on her views for me. I agree that it would have been a very different election if the Republicans had picked someone in the middle.
