You wil...Well my liberal friend, you can relax now. You will awaken to find that your hopes have not been dashed this time. Unfortunately, as Deb stated, the country only became more divided during this process, and there are 50 million or so people out there who are extremely upset. It was an electoral rout, but not a popular one. I think we are just going to see a swing to the reverse of the attitudes during the Bush years. Instead of Bush's face on all those "He's not MY president" stickers, you're going to see Obama's. I actually feel sorry for him, because expectations are so ridiculously high. How can any human being possibly live up to what he's going to have to try to do now? The criticism is going to be unduly harsh when he doesn't make miracles happen. The country will move on, but not together. And it would have been this way had McCain won too. I think partisanship is killing us and it can't be solved by either party. I just hope to God it doesn't come down to the violence that a disturbingly large number of people are predicting. I disagree with the man on just about everything, but I don't want him to die for it. I won't lie, you know I'm looking straight forward to 2012, but I hope that these 48 months in between will be smooth ones. And I'm still waiting for that pie!!!!Midnight Madrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01141232475971306055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-76394912161728729842008-11-04T17:53:00.000-08:002008-11-04T17:53:00.000-08:00I know what you mean.

I figured whether it was Obama or McCain, either would be a VAST improvement over the current administration. Then he went and picked HER and I've been growing increasingly anxious. Surely Americans can see that no matter how qualified he is, SHE is not, and he is old.

However, amongst the plentiful republican voters in our blog community, I've heard a lot of women say although they back their republican choice, if it goes the other way, they will be respectful and look forward. Hopefully, this will be the case. I don't trust the "polls", though. Like you, I was shocked and totally confused with the Al Gore outcome in 2000. It could happen again. At our house, we're praying, voting and praying some more. Good luck today fellow democrat. <BR/>Love,<BR/>BelleBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216941806907177541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-91481647311036220652008-11-04T05:56:00.000-08:002008-11-04T05:56:00.000-08:00I share your fears.I share your fears.adozeneggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660232126960456569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-37234109121633743912008-11-04T05:50:00.000-08:002008-11-04T05:50:00.000-08:00My god, it's like The Treehouse of Horror episode ...My god, it's like The Treehouse of Horror episode in November!KatieGirlBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016320685724162946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-9888572036239595362008-11-04T05:43:00.000-08:002008-11-04T05:43:00.000-08:00I didn't sleep at all last night.I didn't sleep at all last night.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882162934243862918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-59833434898565756852008-11-04T04:01:00.000-08:002008-11-04T04:01:00.000-08:00Cindy,I feel the same way!!

While I want Obama to be president, and for that ridiculous prop 8 to be vetoed, I do realize that not everyone shares my opinion, and I hate that tomorrow there will be so much division.<BR/><BR/>You are right, hopefully we can move on together (with Obama as president).
