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.
Yeah, I thought this was a pretty darn exciting election. We could have made history in a number of ways! (Also a nod to Clinton there from the primaries.) It didn't pan out the way I'd hoped, but my hat's off to Obama for his victory and also for getting people involved. I personally knew a lot more people this year that took an interest in the election than 2004's, and I feel like his energy had a lot to do with that. And hopefully they will keep paying attention and realize the issues are all the time and not just every 4 years.
Also, like a few others mentioned, a quick hat off to McCain and his speech; as a Republican, I hope I will be able to look to him as an example of support for our new pres.
It's pretty darn awesome to add another to the history books.
Cheers,
JD
