I woke up around 1 a.m. last night to take my first look at election coverage to find that Barack Obama had clinched the win over underdog John McCain. Since the second Bush win in 2004, I have been unable to really follow much of the campaigns because I couldn’t let myself get wrapped up in a candidate and the idea of someone in office until it was certain.
The one thing I am pissed about is Proposition 8 looking like it is going to pass in California? WTF? Sorry, Ellen and Portia and all you other Californians who thought you deserved to be treated the same as everyone else.
One thing that I do LOVE about elections, aside from checking into my own special booth with the always-uncapped black felt tip pen is people outside campaigning near polling stations. I love to beep and wave like a madwoman at people, if they’re waving McCain signs or question one, two or three posters.
The questions went the way I voted, so again, I was happy. Overall, this election has vastly improved the way I look at voting in America… but I’m still confused about California. A state that can go blue but says they want to overturn gay marriage? What about West Hollywood? Come on people….
Now with Obama coming into office, some non-political things we can all look forward to seeing in the news in the future is his basketball court he supposedly will be putting into the White House as reported on Mike&Mike on ESPN radio and also more fashion coverage on the always well-dressed Mrs. President.
She is a vast improvement over Hill and her never ending supply of multi-colored pantsuits. phew
