Now, I don't think TAMB is the best place to discuss politics, but Barack Obama has won the 2008 Presidential Election, becoming the first minority President in the history of the United States of America.
I, for one, am very excited that he won, these next four years should be interesting.

Honestly, I'm 100% happy that Proposition 1 here (Allows for a convention to change the state constitution) got shot down so quick. Sure, Obama winning is nice in my book, but that a 20 point difference to "No" on Prop 1 is a much bigger win to me then anything else.
However, I was disappointed that Cappiello lost the bid for our state rep. He looked like he had a lot of potential, much better then Murphy. At least Cappiello didn't rule another bid in two years, but that stuff doesn't mean much unless you live in... well... here in this district.

Well, it certainly will be interesting. I am glad that he won. And all the people celebrating him becoming president was amazing.

Eh, well it seems like I'm the ONLY person that would have voted for McCain, though, I'm not old enough to vote XD
I don't think he'll be a bad president though.

Maybe he wouldn't have been so bad, but I couldn't bring myself to support him whatsoever when I saw his debates.

I liked how all the Arabs cheered when he won, then within 24 hours became enraged after he put militant Israelis in staff, confirming more wars.
One of them is also a huge believer in UFOs. Looks like the "Bushisms" will not stop for awhile.

Old news... but yeah congrats to Obama! I voted for Nader, but I'm glad Obama won. If Nader wasn't in the '08 election, Obama would have gotten my vote. He's getting my vote in the 2012 election!
