I voted for Obama and it was a wonderful feeling to actually want someone to win vs. just picking the lesser of 2 evils.

He is inspirational.

He has to be an amazing strategist - to come from nowhere and first beat Clinton and then McCain.

I believe he will choose good people to be his advisors and won't pick a bunch of yes-men( and women) or fall back on favoritism or cronyism when he selects his cabinet.


McCain's choice of Palin finally did it for me. I always thought her selection was a gimick - she was picked because of her chromosones and nothing else. The thought of someone who doesn't even know that Africa is a continent and not a country being our president makes me shudder.

Finally, I feel like as a country, we've grown up. We selected a 21st century president. YAY!!!
