Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well things are definitely going to change now that Democrats are back in office. For better or worse, it's too soon to tell.

At least Floridans have learned how to count this time (no offense meant there to any Florida Geezers)

Either way who ever won we were still screwed .... The only thing that counts is that Bush is out of office. Who know how things will go now.

Either way I rather have Obama because of the fact that he chose Biden. If Macain would of have won and something would of have happen to Macain while he was president. Just imagine that macain falls and Pailen is left to run office while we are at war. We would defiantly bend over right there. She has no real experience to be in office, and im sorry but she is just such an air head.

I'm an election judge in Colorado. It's clear that Obama is very LIKELY to win, but we still have a long way to go before that's a certainty.

I mean, I voted for him, so I certainly hope he wins, but we can't say for certain until Wednesday or Thursday. You wouldn't beleive how many provisional ballots we got (which are counted later than any other ballot in Colorado.)

So, yay! I'm hoping Obama is winning.
But I'm not counting my victories before they've... viccied.

And, think of it this way: maybe we were screwed because of our perspective. Maybe having another young buck president will give us a little zest, especially one with a really cool name.

Barack Hussien Obama= cool?! You haven't named any small children l hope. I always thought his name reminded me of a bad health food breakfast. He could totally be named 'Kashi'

rolleyes Well Nobama will try to institute socialism into our society (spreading the wealth for those of you who earn $120,000 or more a year.) While in theory it seems great, in practice it leads to socioeconomic ruin. (Hitler with Germany and Stalin with Russia...I could go on.) Be very afraid twisted

im like this if you have a problem with how america is gonna be ran and you cant handle change then be my guest and move to another country
you all that are sore losers need to just wake up and smell the coffee its no need to argue over the fact the better canidate won not because he was black but because he was the better candidate
the respect that america lost over the past yrs has been gained back in one night
they kept saying how it was the land of the free(as in free opportunity) and home of the brave but for the past 220 yrs it hasnt been and now as we goin in to our 221st yr america can honestly say it is home of the free
you all don't understand how the opportunity have shined a light on the youth of america letting them know that its okay to strive for success and not just settle for less
this example of change is gonna make differences all over the world
i tell you it wasnt because he was black it was because it was time for a change if he was spanish asian or white i still wouldve voted for him mccain wanted to keep us in the same s**t hole that we have been in for yrs and people who stay in the small states that live for farming obama has just saved your lives cause mccain was doing away with all that

im sorry that you are unhappy but now yall see how it felt when bush was elected

I was watching a show where they showed that only aprox. 8% of black people did not vote for Obama. The white population voted more of an even split, I don't remember the exact total, but it was like about 65% voted for McCain. Hispanic votes were something like 75% to Obama.

If this election was not a racial election than the split would have been a lot closer regardless of race.

I am trying to find it online... so far no luck and I am tired...
