Election is OVER!!!

My happiest moment in this whole election is that the

HORRIBLE CAMPAIGN COMMERCIALS ARE OVER!

I guess it is a bit obvious that I was just totally fed up with the negative campaigning - I love the freedom of speech, but what ever happened to "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"? I would be much more inclined to listen if I was being told what the candidate stood for and what they hoped to achieve if elected vs. what 'the other guy did/didn't do'.

At this point, the only race in MN that isn't decided seems to be the Coleman/Barkley/Franken senate vote. It is also the only one in which I have VERY strong feelings about (that I am not going to get into here). At this time (11:30pm) the percentages are 42%/15%/42%.

This is a historic election and it is kinda neat to be alive for it. I am sure that there are many in my parents generation (probably in mine as well) never thought that a person of color or a woman could ever get elected. I have to say that McCain made a truly gracious concession speech. Now watching Barack's speech. Boy I don't envy him coming into the presidency in the midst of all this economic turmoil and the Irag war still waging.

Well, after the speech, off to bed.
