Whether you celebrated last night or cried history has been made! Congrats to Obama for being the youngest and first bi-racial president of the United States!

Thanks to all of you that voted and made a difference to this country. As we look ahead to the next four years we can be certain that changes will be made. Some for the better and others maybe not, but remember that it was you who chose the president. So when decisions are being made about the future of our country, remember that a resounding 53% of the population chose to vote Democratic (which also gave him 349 electoral votes). You chose to support the Democratic party and so complaining about who is running our country is not necessary – you did voice your opinions at the polls and vote Obama after all!

These next for years will certainly be challenging and different, but change is not necessarily a bad thing!

So thank you, my friends, to all who voted for change!

I hope everyone got a chance to get out to the poles today (and if you haven’t there is still time)! Don’t give up your opportunity to vote for the next president of our country.

For those of you who are as crazy about following the election as I am you can check out the CNN Website where they continually update the current score between the two candidates (ok I know that there are more than two, but lets face it, there might as well only be two).

So grab some popcorn and beverage of your choice sit back, and let the games begin (or rather the election)!

A friend (and current roommate) of mine wrote an interesting blog about the current presidential election and I thought I’d add my two sense.

She found a press release about a McCain supporter in Michigan. Apparently Halloween is as good a time as any to promote the candidate of your choice.

Why wouldn’t you want to withhold candy from innocent little children on Halloween? After all, they know what the election is and clearly are the ones voting.

(Sarcasm)

My goal is definitely to make them cry by not giving them candy on a holiday meant for them (Clearly!). What better way to spend the night?

I don’t openly support either candidate and I don’t disclose who I voted for until after the election, but anyone who uses candy (or anything else for that matter) to coerce people into voting for a particular candidate is worthy of my scorn.
