Time to Post and Reflect
Nov. 5th, 2008 08:13 amOBAMA WINS!
I watched the election as it happened and felt a bit detached from it all. There is so much hate and racism in my country, though denied, I feared that hope would be in vain. But as I watched Obama gain ground I felt in awe. Everyone who is not my age, with the exception of my housemate who is close to it, are Republican threw and threw and more than one is racist. Their relatives in general were the same and so on. So to see that my county voted Obama in the end was amazing, but even more than that the numbers from the first ballots from early voting had Obama ahead STATE WIDE IN TEXAS. Eventually it went to McCain but not by much, only 6% in the end.
I watched as state by state came in. Feeling detached even though I realize what was happening when Pennsylvania, and then Ohio were announced. I still can't emotionally grasph that its actually happened, as happy as I am. I am not Dem or Rep, I am American and vote only for those I believe the country, state, or county needs.
