I am proud to have been able to participate in this election, especially since I am 23, so this is only the second time I have been able to cast a vote for our nation's president. I think that, whether you voted for McCain, Obama or one of the independents, we should all be proud to have voted in this election. For the first time we had a female vice presidential candidate and an african american presidential candidate as the prime contenders in our bi-partisan system. And whether or not you agree with his ideals, Obama's victory is something to be celebrated especially in the name of the people who did not vote for or against him based on the color of his skin but on their faith, or lack thereof, in his goals.
