C'mon guys, where are you? You can't have a politics forum without both sides. I already promised not to gloat too much!
Sorry I've been gone, school has kept me busy.

I voted on election day (Republican and Libertarian) and it was my first time doing so. I just wish they would have gaven me an "I voted" sticker.

I watched the state vote be counted and I watched Obama win. It was exciting. I wish McCain would have won but I also look at the bright side of things.

I have social views that do not match with the current Republican values (Like pro choice, pro gay marriage, pro drug, anti-religion) so at least these things can progress under a Democratic majority (though I don't like the idea of any party having that much control, Republican or Democrat).

I think it's pretty nifty that we have an African American in office, even if most of his views aren't on the same page as mine. I'll be a gracious loser. Maybe this will get the Republican party back to their Libertarian roots.

Congrats Dems, Liberals, and anyone else who voted for Obama.
