election
Yay for the election being over. I'm sick of the ads. After spending last week at my parent's house, I am glad I don't have a land line phone in my house or I think I would go crazy with all the campaigning phone calls. Although I voted for Obama, I don't think McCain would have been bad. He is somewhat of a moderate, and I don't know if anyone could be worse than our current president. I am very glad the one person I wanted to lose lost. When I first moved to North Carolina, I was surprised to find out that Elizabeth Dole was a US senator for this state. I have always disliked the woman, so more than anything I just wanted her to lose re-election this year. Any person who thinks that the drinking age should be raised to 25 years is much too conservative for my taste and, frankly, it shows just how out of touch they are with the world. When colleges and universities around the country are starting to come together to get the drinking age lowered back to 18 because of college student drinking problems, for some old lady to think it should be raised to 25 just shows she doesn't know anything. And yay for North Carolina electing its first female governor too. That's pretty cool. Also, yay for NC voting Democrat for president for the first time since 1976. It sure is nice to have so many Yankee transplants here.
