Obama Wins!

I’m so happy. In fact a big-ass grin on my face ever since the victory champagne last night. :)

After the last election, it was hard to understand the level of general ignorance that seemed to have prevailed in America. Last night would have confirmed that we’d gone nowhere if McCain had won. But boy, was that shot down. Obama won not by a little, but by a landslide. Proving that there is in fact hope that a change for the better can come our way and not all of us are Nascar fans. Guess I won’t have to move to Mexico after all. :)

And I’m so happy that:

• there’ll be no more political slam ads clogging the airwaves!
• I don’t have to listen to McCain’s whiny, nasally voice anymore, (except on SNL).
• there’s no chance of Palin in the White House — which is a truly frightening thought.
• the majority of America turned out to vote in record numbers and proved that intelligence can win out over the ignorant mass.
• No More Bush!

It's official, Obama announces his democratic ticket at the Excel Center.

I think unless you are completely ignorant and/or a masochist, we’re all ready for “the change” in America. The end of monkey/president comparisons and ridiculous military campaigning has more than run it’s course (by more than 4 years). Personally, I’ve ridden the fence between Hillary and Barack thinking that they’re both excellent candidates with strong qualities to each. But mostly I’m eager to see a liberal approach open the White House windows and air the damn place out.

From Barack Obama tonight:

…tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another — a journey that will bring a new and better day to America. Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States.

It certainly will be interesting to find out how the next few weeks will compare. My hope is that Obama does indeed select Clinton as his running mate and we get the best of both worlds.

Now — who else is gonna plaster their car with Obama support stickers for the Republican Convention this fall?
