Well, to be honest, before the nominees were decided I supported Hilary more than Obama. But I have been impressed with his campaign since then, and I always vote a straight democratic ticket, so I would have voted for the democratic nominee no matter who won the primaries.

However, I do think that Obama has a lot of good leadership qualities and I agree on many issues that he has discussed during his campaign (however, presidents do not actually pass bills- that is congress- they simply sign them into law, or veto them, if it goes through congress). However, with a largely democratic senate and a good president, I am hopeful that we can get some real change that I think our country needs. I am particularly hoping to see some changes to health care and education.

I honestly felt that John McCain gave his most gracious and impressive speech throughout his whole campaign last night when he acknowledged Obama's victory. During the debates he really did not have much to say, and simply went on the offensive, which wasn't impressive to me (not to mention he was really unprofessional with his eye-rolling and scoffing). Also, I would honestly be terrified to have Palin as a VP when McCain is so old and not in good health. She apparently intended to run congress...any 5th grader could tell you that we have 3 branches of government for a reason!

Well, sorry that's so long-winded. I'm actually very excited to see Obama elected as our next president and I can't wait to see him in office.
