What a night. I have never before paid much attention to politics and usually watch the presidential nomination with the same mild interest as I might follow the PGA Tour. But tonight... tonight I was RIVETED! I have been watching CNN.com all day, working little. When the projection came in for President Obama came in, I regained my shaken hope for America and the democratic process.I thought McCain's concession speech demonstrated great character and was only fouled by the seething response from his most faithful followers. In the past I may have been guilty of calling him a "creepy war-monger" but I gained a lot of respect for him for encouraging republicans to move forward and not tolerating the boos in response to Obama's name.
Things I strongly dislike about the republican party:
ReplyDelete1. They Boo. Seriously?? SERIOUSLY?
2. You can't vote for a republican in the primaries in Utah unless you sign a blood oath to BE a registered republican.
I have about 15 more, but it just gets me loud and stupid...
