landslide....

I have to say congratulations to all you die-hard Obama followers. I can't count myself among your ranks --although I did (somewhat reluctantly--I'm still deep down a Nader fan) give him my vote. The airwaves are ringing with the giddy sounds of liberal news reporters--and I have to say I'm feeling a little giddy myself. I am still reeling over my home state of Indiana going blue for the first time since like 1930 or something. I know Obama will make a good president. I don't think he will be as liberal as I want him to be--or as hard on lobbyists or big businessman as he says he will be--but I know there will be an improvement.

My relief is tempered somewhat by the noticeably absent defeat of constitutional amendments discriminating against gays in both California and Arizona. I am disappointed in my fellow Americans.
