On a wet Tuesday

 I voted! It was enjoyable walking in and voting today. I told them my name and the worker said "I thought you looked like a Bosken." I always get a kick when people recognize or know who I am.
One of the perks about voting today was all the free stuff! I voted and proceeded to go to Krispy Kreme for a free doughnut then Starbucks for a free coffee

Re: Great assesment

Well, I think this year's election was based on the economy. McCain really needed some sort of hail-Mary that just didn't happen. I have been wondering how much of the polls reflected the racial tension within the country. I thought that there were people in both parties who didn't want a black president. The check to that faction was the strong black showing (which typically vote democrat.)
I have more faith that Obama (if elected) will be well protected for the next 4 or 8 years then I do a group planning and carrying out an assassination attempt. There won't be a "race war" if something does happen. There is racial tension in America, but I don't feel that we (as a nation) will reach such a point that races, creeds, etc will divide.
Despite my misgivings towards both candidates, I think that either candidate will lead the nation forward. If the congress goes Democrat, there will be 2 years that will most likely create a socially liberal shift. With the next 4 years, the withdrawal of troops will enhance the image of the United States globally.
If McCain wins, the nation will be more centrist with social values.
I more value the make up of the congress in determining the direction of the economy.
No matter who wins, there will be a large burden on the taxpayers for the current economic conditions.
Honestly, I think either candidate is fine. I'm excited to see the direction of the nation. I hope that there isn't a liberal swing socially over the next few years.
(I think the reply is long enough!)
