I'm glad you found someone you don't like even more than Obama. Infact that's a good strategy. Well I don't like person A, but atleast it's not that god awful person B.
Ultimately, it was great all around, in my opinion. Frankly, I was especially impressed with McCain's speech - it was so wonderful to see the McCain I remembered from back before he started his campaign.
Regarding socialism - it really is absurd when even McCain himself has stated that Obama isn't a socialist that we even have this argument. That's all I really have to say on the matter.
At the end of the day - truly a historic event, however you personally feel about the candidates. And I'll admit, I'm fairly optimistic about Obama - though we'll just have to wait and see on that.
god damn it obama won... im pissed M.C. Cain all the way...
Hooray for Obama-sama! I'm happy/excited.
See I'm one of the upper-middle class people the wealth has been leaving for you. The only way the rich get your money (unless their corporations are being bailed out because of feel-good loan policies forced upon them by the Clinton administration) is when you trade it to them for goods and services.

So, how is it your money is being redistributed to the rich if you're not giving it to them? What bass-ackwards world are you living in where this is happening? The top 12% pay 74% of the taxes for all sorts of the 'free' services that you take for granted, but you've convinced yourself that somehow you're getting the short end of the stick with regard to tax burden. Surely it must be fair to take more money from these people because everyone is equal and deserves the money just as much regardless of effort and ability.
Most small businesses are even making enough that their endless wealth is going to be redistributed down the social ladder. That's definitely some good incentive to take risks to start up a business, and to go to school and work hard to learn the things one needs to know to succeed in life. We can't all be handed money like apparently you and this wonderful citizen.
The world isn't equal. Our government doesn't exist to make it equal. Our government exists to ensure our safety, our rights, our basic freedoms. It exists to ensure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, not wealth nor the pursuit thereof. For all the care we put into attempting to interpret the meaning of the constitution and the true intent of our founding fathers, we forget this very key fact. It's time we as a country remember it.
But yes, this election did turn out well; I'm certainly happy with the results. I can't wait to see the Civilian National Security Force (as large, powerful, and well-funded ($500 billion!) as the military) patrolling our streets. I'm looking forward to socialized health care, as it'll be nice to have to wait 6 months for a vital MRI like in Canada instead of getting even a non-vital MRI within hours. I'm thrilled about more of my money being taken from me and given to those who deserve it less. I really want my right to bear arms and protect myself to be further limited or even taken away so I'm unable to defend myself when someone who has a firearm illegally is pointing it in my direction. Most of all, though, I'm excited to see the lasting effect that B.O. will have on our lives. He will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.
I'll definitely feel safer then.
The "Long" post I could've made focused on McCain's positive sides over Obama's.
The short post consisted of this:
"As long as nobody chokes on any pretzels again."
I really hate to go a bit off-topic and pick points, but I need to throw in my 2 cents here.
Now, I'm all for the right to bear arms, but this argument always annoyed me. Do you honestly think that when a guy is pointing a gun at you, you'll have enough time to reach in your coat pocket, grab your weapon, and shoot him before he shoots you? It'd work in action movies and video games, but not in real life. :|
I really wanted to have shirts made out to sell that would say, "NIGGA BE PRESIDENT!!!" Unfortunately I was to lazy and too broke to fulfill myself in such a way.
Other than the fact that I FUCKING HATE Palin I really didn't care about the election. Had I voted it would have been for Obama but not because I like him or his whatever. All I really care about is that he is black. I wish I were black.
Oh well... At least I got a ghetto bootay!
