Oofah!

I'm thrilled that we have a new President and his name is Barack! But I'm am also disheartened that California appears to still be full of bigots who think there should be a law that prohibits same sex marriage. And it's not like it was a national vote, it was ONLY California voters. Something occurred to me this morning- seems like people feel farm animals deserve more rights (Prop. 2) than same sex couples. Kind of makes me sick to my stomach to think that people are so closed minded.
I'm not a big political activist or anything, and normally do not have much of an opinion on politics at all. But this election peaked my interest more so than usual. I really wanted Obama to win. Watching and hearing him speak, he came across as the much more educated and sophisticated candidate. To me, it seemed that McCain threw a lot more mud than Obama did. Maybe Obama threw just as much mud, but he did it in a classier way. It also just seems like Obama is going to be someone who will truly be able to work with both dems and republicans. I don't see McCain as being able to put aside his differences and do what's best for the country- too much of a maverick.
I had my own issues with the McCain/Palin ticket that would never have allowed me to vote for them. Namely, their stand on abortion and Palin's lack of experience. To vote for them and the possibility of Palin being President if something should happen to Grandpa McCain, too much to risk. I do feel like McCain deserves some props for his concession speech last night though.
Well- that's all I have time for...our new baby girl is callin' my name!
