Election Thoughts

McCain lost gracefully

The Republicans at his speech made complete asses of themselves and are a reproach to the nation

The biggest thing McCain lost on this campaign was his honor and I feel sorry for him on that count. I like him and I hope he gets to do something to be remembered by beyond the once great guy who compromised his integrity for the sake of an un-winnable election.

The news media gave being unbiased a reasonable effort (until the winner was declared)

Coolest part of the evening was watching Civil Rights Movement leaders get to see a black man elected president.

Scariest thing about Obama's victory is his support of infanticide, ironic from a man who would have been a prime candidate for abortion himself.

Coolest thing about Obama's victory is that he may very well have the goods to bring America together.

It remains to be seen what Obama will actually do. Most of what I have heard from him are stirring generalities. I think platitudes would be going to far, and he may have an actual plan but I don't think we have heard it yet.

That said I think an America united around a decent plan will go farther than an America divided about a great plan.

Glad it's over, it was getting pretty old.

I thought it was hilarious how often I heard completely unfounded, unsupported, and easily arguable statements to the effect of "only in America could..."

I also thought it was hilarious that CBC covered the election night.
