Well, the guy I voted for didn't win. So it goes. I am encouraged by the equal levels of grace demonstrated by McCain in his concession, and by Obama in his acceptance of same. I'm hopeful that perhaps the national discourse could gain some long overdue maturity. The entire concept of "not my President" is ridiculous and needs to die. Half of the country turning their backs on the rest because their side is not in power is shameful. We've had four presidential terms of that. Obama will become the next President, and I will respect and support him.
There is nothing wrong with cheering for the home team!
