What a proud day to be an American! Barack Obama is PRESIDENT!
And, Massachusetts defeated Question 1 -- we are keeping income tax!!
Here's how the election went: I left work about 11pm. Obama had 207 electoral votes. I walked to the parking lot and arrived maybe 11:02 to someone screaming Obama is president in my ear (I was on the phone). Imagine my confusion at Obama getting about 90 votes in like 2 minutes. By 11:17 McCain was congratulating Obama, and I talked on the phone, and went to bed.
At work, we watched the election. We talked about the election. I had 3 internet sites open (tv had faster results followed by abc, cnn, google news). It was a great night. Filled with excitement. Sure we didn't' start off great - VT is a small state - but once we surpassed McCain, he never beat us! And then Ohio! And YAY! I'm still excited.
