I have to say that against my parents' wishes, I voted for Obama. They, and the rest of the county I live in, is almost completely Republican. I didn't vote for him because he was from Illinois, nor because he is bi-racial, nor because Illinois is a very democratic state. I voted for him because his thoughts and values coincided with mine.
But I do have to say one thing...
Bush is still in for another 2 and 1/2 months...
I also agree with Booyah. We have to continue moving, we shouldn't stay in the shadows of Nov. 4th.
