Hope Wins!
I have never had to wait to vote until today. Welcom to a densly populated CA city. It really wasn’t that bad. I waited for an hour and half. I voted, and my guy won. I’m happy because I think he is the better guy, but let’s not get lazy. This system only works if we question our leadership and hold them accountable (and give them praise when they earn it). We can not just blindly follow. Right now though, I’m feeling pretty good and I am filled with hope for a better tomorrow and a better country.
God bless America!
Good call on the questioning leadership comment. Too often we don’t hold elected officials accountable on both sides of the aisle. I’m glad that the Democrats maintained their congressional majority, but I’m also glad that they don’t have a filibuster-proof majority because I hope that will hold them accountable. Regardless, I’m very excited for the Obama victory and I’m anxious to see how he does.
